Fare Issue 03: Charleston, SC

The depth and complexity of Charleston’s cuisine tells the story of the American South: a long journey, heavy with contradictions and contrasts. Charleston is one of the country’s oldest and best preserved cities—the site of major turning points in United
States history, and the seat of a culinary renaissance. Here, visionaries both in and out of the kitchen explore Southern identities through careful historical research and the cultivation of centuries-lost ingredients.

In this issue, Fare dives into the connections of food, history, and people—exploring how entire cities are built on the weight of food systems, with a myriad of effects that ripple into the present.
