Charleston Food

[nitrofd]

I do not like to post about cooking shows but last night on CNN they have an Anthony Bourdain show called "Parts Unknown".this was not your usual cooking show but he was exploring Charleston Food that was made before the Civil War.he went into Gullah cooking which was the food of the slaves and he fell in love with Charleston Gold which is a great rice but is rather expensive.the only restaurant that he did go to was the "Waffle House".that's a southern thing which I like but I hate that they charge you for each cup of coffee, no free refills.this show is really worth watching but the next time it is on you need to set your DVR because it is on at 2:00am. On Fri. Nov.27.

He use to have show on the cooking channel. We always watched it. He traveled the world and went to many interesting places and talked about the food and places to eat.

I didn't know he was on CNN now. That is a late time to watch.

There is a Waffle House located here just outside of nearby Carlisle. I don't know if it is related to the one you reference or not. We generally make waffles at home where the coffee has a free second cup!

He has 16 different shows on CNN now, most on late on the weekends.they are really different from the shows he had on the Travel Channel.

The Waffle House is a chain located all over the south.

It was the Travel Channel. I get that channel and the cooking channels mixed up at time. I think some of them owned by same company.

On the show he really is looking at cooking 150 yrs. Ago, he does consume alot of bourbon though.another southern thing.

He always liked his drinks. I remember that from the travel channel show.

If it's the Waffle House chain he's referring to, they are so common in the South that FEMA actually uses them after a natural disaster to evaluate the level of disruption and need for assistance in the area.

That is really interesting.when we lived in south Florida hurricane Andrew came through and I know the Waffles Houses in Dade County were either closed or destroyed but just north in Browser county they were open as Browad didn't suffer severe power losses.
