| Saint Philip's Churchyard Gate and Carriage, French Quarter, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok (Velvia slide film) As I alluded to in a previous post, Charleston has been receiving much favorable attention as a travel destination in recent months. Conde Naste Travel Magazine ranked it as the number one city to visit in North America. Fodor's Travel went even further by placing Charleston among the top 21 "to go" attractions in the world. They described it as a "buzzy" destination that is "foodie-centric" and "leading the Southern food revival". Charleston, for such a small city, is indeed graced with an abundance of fine restaurants and cafes. There is a menu for almost anyone's taste. Today's image is one that is featured in a coffee table cookbook recently published by Hank's Seafood Restaurant. It is replete with delicious recipes presented by nationally recognized chef Frank McMahon. The intent of the image is to offer a taste of Charleston's historic and charming ambience. |

Gotta say Doug, that you've been shooting such great stuff around Charleston - and promoting it - that the City Fathers should make you a (paid) honorary City Ambassador!
