Noshing Nirvana: The Best Thing You Ate All Month

 Did you try a fabulous new Charleston restaurant over the weekend? Or pay a visit to a tried-and-true favorite? Whether the joint just opened doors or boasts a long local history, we know some of you swooned over something that came from a community kitchen. It might have been the best burger you’ve ever bitten into (eighteen times without putting it down). Or the salad that was so mind-blowing you forgot it was green stuff. Or the dessert that made you weep as angels sang and time stood still. Whatever it was, you can’t in good conscience keep it to yourself - and we’re not all Facebook friends with you, so you need to share that photo and braggy comment more publicly, please.

Here’s what we need from you:

1) Where were you served the best thing you ate all month?

2) What was the food that left you speechless (mainly because you couldn’t stop horking it down)?

3) Can you describe what made the dish so magical? Be sure to speak slowly...

4) Dish more on the dish, if you can - price, portion size, availability on regular menu, and the psychological repercussions of consuming something so rad

. Please email a photo of your to-die-for dish and responses to the four questions above (don’t leave any out!) to jennifer@thedanielislandnews.com.

Look, Jenn even did the first one to get you started… The best thing I ate all month?

1) I got this perfect comfort food gem from Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit on King Street downtown Charleston.

2) Behold the sausage, egg, and pimento cheese biscuit.

3) Callie has the biscuit on lock, that is a no-brainer. But the Glass Onion Belle’s sausage is tangy and tender, the scrambled egg is fluffily (yes, that is a word) folded, and the housemade pimento cheese gives it all gooey goodness without overwhelming any of the other savory flavors.

4) I’m not going to lie and say you can eat this with a lot of dignity. It is taller than it is wide, which always poses a problem to those lacking double-jointed jaws. But the portion size is spot-on for a small meal or heavy snack. When you look at the $7 price tag relative to the size of the sammie, you might fear a mild gouging – BUT then you will taste it, love it, feel surprisingly full, and worry that perhaps you ripped off Callie. (You didn’t; she’s fine.)
