This is why I didn't even try to figure out places to eat. I don't know my way around Charleston and I figured I'd rely on the experts to recommend meals. Funny thing was, they all suggested Glass Onion for lunch one afternoon and then felt bad that I'd eaten there three times on my training trip.
Oh, man. You can't ever feel bad about eating at the Glass Onion. There's a reason I ate there three times and it's more than just the fact that it was convenient to the hotel : )
In fact, I'm friends with them on Facebook and check their website frequently to see if I can try and recreate dishes here in Colorado. I need Glass Onion love every once in a while (psst, they post recipes on their blog).
So far, I've had the Country Captain, the Crispy Braised Pork Belly with Grits and Greens (my first taste of greens and they were amazing!), the Crispy Pork (a different dish from the pork belly) with Grits and Local Beets, and one of their fish entrees that came with green beans and oyster mushrooms. And that's just the main dishes! I've also had their bibb wedge with homemade buttermilk dressing, the fries with bearnaise sauce, the best pickles ever, boatloads of their sweet tea, and some kind of amazing pie my first night there last December that was heaven in a slice.
Glass Onion is a local favorite in Charleston and they've been praised far and wide. I'm glad my HP folks brought me there again. I'd happily go stuff my face at the Onion every time I return to town, too!
I don't have any pics, but you'll have to trust me that this place is freaking fabulous!
