A Visit to Husk

     Durelle has a first cousin who lives in northern California. From time to time they like to make road trips, often to the east coast. Yesterday they dropped into Charleston for a visit and to play tourist. Cindy was off, so she could play driver and tour guide. They did a short tour of a few iconic, touristy spot and ended up back at Husk.

     In a town full of really outstanding restaurants Husk stands out as one of the very best. The James Beard Award winning chef, Sean Brock, is the guy in charge. You can count on classic southern fare with a little innovation. At our table the entrees ranged from a corn-meal breaded, fried catfish to a surprisingly tasty and tender octopus. Guess who tried the octopus, and, no, it did not taste anything like calamari. I was greatly surprised to order a German white wine and get one with a screw cap. It was a nice summery wine, however. 
     It was nice to get out of the house with good friends. Pam and Jay were very pleased with their lodging at the King Charles Inn.
