From the stellar chef/owner Sean Brock, Minero offers up legit guacamole, quality margaritas and a surprisingly mouthwatering plate of dry-rubbed chicken wings. But that’s not why I go. For me, it’s all about the burrito! Jam-packed with plenty of hoppin’ john, avocado, poblanos, cabbage, cilantro, crema, salsa verde and cheese that is fried around the outside of the burrito, this gift from the foodie gods is one thing I’m unable to avoid. Ms. Rose’s Fine Food & Cocktails I’m more than a little embarrassed to say that it took nearly two years of me driving by Ms. Rose’s to finally stop in for dinner one night – but, hey, you live and you learn. From their Southern twist on calamari served with stone grits to the caprese flatbread and smoked salmon crostinis, just their appetizer menu is enough to satisfy the taste buds. If you’re looking for more – and why wouldn’t you be? – their fried chicken and Carolina “Juicy Lucy” burger are local favorites. Sit outdoors, grab a table inside or saddle up to the bar for impressive food in a quirky, vintage setting you’ll quickly want to stop at time and again. 2205 MIDDLE ST / SULLIVANS ISLAND 817ST.
