When a warehouse along downtown Charleston’s industrial Morrison Drive was purchased with the goal of transforming into a central market – complete with an eye-catching mural by local artist David Boatwright – it was almost impossible for the staff, volunteers and board members of the BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival® not to notice. The two facilities are practically across Morrison Drive from one another and are among a growing number of businesses moving to the upper reaches of the peninsula. After learning more about GrowFood’s operations and mission, it was a natural selection for the Festival’s 2013 Culinary Community Partner.

GrowFood Carolina is technically a “food hub,” which means it’s all about connecting the dots between farmers, retailers and restaurants.The facility provides a space for farmers – who may not have the time or resources to sell to farmer’s markets or restaurants – to drop off their produce, which can be stored until delivered to or picked up by a local chef or retailer.

Sara Clow, GrowFood Carolina’s General Manager, is tasked not only with spreading knowledge and understanding of the organization and its goals to the general public, but also with forging relationships with chefs, retailers and farmers throughout the Lowcountry. After only a year and a half in existence, GrowFood Carolina already works with area farmers to get their produce into the hands of Charleston businesses from grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Piggly Wiggly and Earth Fare to restaurants including FIG, Husk, EVO, Hominy Grill, The Grocery, Carter’s Kitchen, Slightly North of Broad and many more.

“Chefs and restaurants have been our biggest champions, and many say that we’re the solution they’ve been hoping for,” Clow says. “The food and beverage community in Charleston is incredible and I think unique because they are such a tight knit community who really support each other. I can’t say it enough.”

A variety of local bold-faced names including chef Sean Brock and authors Matt Lee and

Ted Lee hosted events at GrowFood Carolina’s warehouse during the fall of 2012 to help grow awareness for the organization. It’s hard not to want to jump on the local produce bandwagon after just a few minutes with Clow, whose passion and excitement about empowering farmers and growers is contagious.

“Many farmers were hesitant about our model in the beginning, but we’ve grown from five farmers to 35 farmers in a year,” Clow says.

“That much growth is through farmer-to-farmer references. When farmers are saying good things about us, we know we’re doing our job!”

GrowFood Carolina will host a dedicated tent in the Festival’s Culinary Village in Marion Square open during Culinary Village hours throughout the Festival weekend. Guests can stop by to meet the GrowFood Carolina team, some of the farmers they work with, and sample small bites prepared using fresh local produce.

“We’re really excited about the exposure to [the Festival’s] wide, food-focused audience,” Clow says. “GrowFood Carolina and food hubs like it around the country are working hard to revitalize local food systems. The more folks that gain an understanding of the importance of what we’re doing, the better!”

Welcome Letter

On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, welcome to the 2013 BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival®! We are looking forward to another amazing year and we hope you have a wonderful experience at this year’s Festival.

Our eighth annual Festival will once again see some new and exciting changes. This year we will partner with the Southern Foodways Alliance to sponsor several events, including a screening of its new feature length film, “Pride & Joy,” and an SFA Culinary Hub tent in Marion Square. We will also be conducting our first “Jail House Shakeup” at Charleston’s Old City Jail, and a special dinner presented by Every Day with Rachel Ray and Charleston’s own Matt Lee and Ted Lee at the William Gatewood House. We will once again host several events outside Marion Square to enable Festival guests to experience some of the incredible historic venues that make Charleston so unique, such as Lowndes Grove Plantation and the South Carolina Aquarium. We kicked off this year’s Festival efforts this past fall with the Ultimate Critics Dinner at Old Towne Creek County Park and we will conclude it on March 18th with a very special event at Fort Moultrie, our Lowcountry Legends Salute the James Bread Foundation. Of course we will continue the events that have made our Festival so special, such as our Opening Night: Salute to Charleston’s Chefs, our Perfectly Paired Dinners (which have become so popular that they will be offered on both Friday and Saturday nights) and the ever-popular Lowcountry Jazz Brunch at Lowndes Grove Plantation.

& Proud Sponsors of the BB&T Wine+Food Festival

As the Festival continues to grow and develop, we seek your feedback on new events and ideas. We hope you will share your thoughts about your Festival experience with us! Charleston has received fantastic media accolades in the past year and we want to go on contributing to the city’s rise on the national radar with your continued support.

We hope that each Festival event you attend will allow you to experience a part of what makes the Lowcountry so special. From the food, to the people, to the hospitality, we hope you leave with a genuine feel for what makes the BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival® truly one of a kind.

Here’s to another successful Festival!

Sincerely,

at the MARKET PAVILION HOTEL

Signature Title Sponsor

Welcome to Charleston and the 2013 BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival®. As you begin your Festival weekend, not only are you participating in an event that has been praised by Forbes Traveler as one of the top five food and wine festivals in the United States, but you are in a city that has been voted the “Top U. S. City” (2011 and 2012) and the “Top Destination in the World” (2012) by Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.

The bottom line of the aforementioned is to say that the backdrop of one of our nation’s most beautiful and historic cities – combined with the culinary talents of top chefs, wine professionals, and authors from around the world – make this an absolutely incredible festival. There are more than 50 events scheduled throughout the weekend to appeal to the most diverse of tastes.

It is also exciting to inform you that your participation also benefits several noteworthy charitable causes. GrowFood Carolina has been selected as the Festival’s 2013 Culinary Community Partner. GrowFood is South Carolina’s first non-profit local food hub. Farmers within a 120-mile radius of Charleston deliver fresh produce to the GrowFood warehouse and it is then marketed and delivered to local restaurants, groceries and cafeterias. In addition, proceeds from the Festival provide educational opportunities for students at the College of Charleston, the Culinary Institute of Charleston and the International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Charleston.

On behalf of BB&T, the Signature Title Sponsor of the Festival since its inception and one of the World’s Strongest Banks (as recognized by Bloomberg Markets magazine), thanks to our planners, chefs, winemakers, vendors, sponsors and volunteers. Your ongoing efforts are one of the primary reasons our Festival has received the recognition it has over the years. To our guests, thank you for visiting with us and enjoy your weekend.

SO, WHO YA GOT?

Team Brock or Team Lata? Team Stehling or Team Deihl?

For the first time, the James Beard Foundation will host a dinner in Charleston on March 18, as Beard award winners Sean Brock, Mike Lata and Robert Stehling, and Beard nominee Craig Deihl will captain a quartet of dream teams containing several top talents.

The meal caps a banner day for the organization, and Charleston at large. That same morning, the Foundation plans to announce the finalists for the 2013 JBF Awards at Lowndes Grove Plantation, which overlooks the banks of the Ashley River. The BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival® and the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau have partnered to help host the awards announcement and dinner.

“Clearly, Charleston is one of the top food cities in America,” said Beard Foundation president Susan Ungaro. “It’s really just an opportunity to visit, get out of New York, and go to a place where there are wonderful chefs and restaurants that have played a very special role for years in the James Beard Foundation.”

The day also represents somewhat of a change for the Foundation. In the past, larger cities such as Portland, Ore., Chicago, and Las Vegas, have hosted the awards ceremony.

“There’s a real keen interest in Southern-inspired cooking, and because there has been a Beard nominee or winner from Charleston during the past years, it was motivation for us to visit,” Ungaro said. “Part of the mission of the Foundation is to be inclusive. It’s important for our Foundation to show a spotlight on other great cities around the country, and to spend time there and to do something very visible.”

The 11 a.m. awards ceremony is invite-only (visit eater.com for a live stream), but guests can buy $300 tickets for the dinner. Titled “Lowcountry Legends Salute the James Beard Foundation,” proceeds benefit the group’s scholarship fund.

The meal is set for Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island, the menu honor-

ing the past. Over three courses, the dishes will reflect Lowcountry cuisine and ingredients from bygone eras, including the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Of course, it’s not really a competition. But guests must select a chef team when purchasing tickets. Each member has earned a JBF Award, received a nomination or cooked at the James Beard House in New York.

Here’s the full lineup: Team Brock: Captained by the 2010 Best Chef Southeast winner and McCrady’s and Husk frontman, Brock’s squad features Anson’s Jeremy Holst and Fish’s Nico Romo, the youngest ever to be designated as a “Master Chef of France.”

Team Lata: Crowned as the 2009 Best Southeast chef for his work at FIG, Lata will hook up with Daniel Doyle of Poogan’s Porch and stalwart Frank McMahon of Hank’s Seafood Restaurant.

Team Stehling: The 2008 Best Chef Southeast champ and Hominy Grill chef/owner leads an all-star crew: Jeremiah Bacon of The Macintosh and Oak Steakhouse, and veteran Marc Collins from Circa 1886.

Team Deihl: The Cypress chef and multiple Beard nominee is joined by up-and-comer Graham Dailey from the Peninsula Grill and the wellregarded Ken Vedrinski of Trattoria Lucca, himself, a three-time Beard award semifinalist.

The dinner also features passed hors d’oeuvres from Beard-winning cookbook authors Matt and Ted Lee, and Nathalie Dupree and Frank Lee. Wildflour Pastry’s Lauren Mitterer, another past Beard semifinalist for Best Pastry Chef, will provide baked goods.

And who knows, by the evening, the dinner may also feature several 2013 Beard finalists.

“It’s just another feather in the cap of our culinary community,” BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival® executive director Angel Postell said.

ATTIRE: CASUAL

Wish you could enjoy the pleasure of a romantic wine country getaway every date night? Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson and her husband, John, for whom this topic is both a passion and everyday practice in their Napa Valley home, will show you how.

Learn their secrets for crafting the perfect marriages of wine and food that will leave you well equipped to bring the spice and savor of wine country “kitchen dates” into your own home kitchens. Inspired by their world travels researching episodes for their Local Flavor food travel show, the pair will demo six simple recipes incorporating fresh, local ingredients and pairing each with a world-class wine. “Dates” encouraged but not required!

Spend your morning experiencing the pleasures of the Old World wines as you taste through the hidden gems of Piedmont, Sicily and the Loire Valley. From Barbera to Dolcetto, Chenin Blanc to Cabernet Franc and Carricante to Nero d’Avola, you will get a peek into the vast grapes these countries cultivate – looking beyond each region’s “superstars” to examine and appreciate lesser-known but equally important varietals. As you sip the various expressions of these grapes and others you will discover their unique characteristics and find appreciation for the ties to their individual terroirs. Not ones to break Old World tradition, each of these wines will be paired with thoughtfully crafted hors d’oeuvre by Chef Michael Perez of Massi’s Wine Bar and Osteria – Mangia! Or should we say, Bon Appétit!

Balance is a key element to fine wine.Why have so many top California winemakers begun a serious debate about it, and about the importance of restraint? Join Jasmine Hirsch, co-founder of In Pursuit of Balance – one of the country’s hottest emerging wine events – and San Francisco Chronicle wine editor Jon Bonné, to explore the evolution of California’s style of wines. They’ll be joined by winemaker Matt Licklider to discuss why balance has become a new rallying cry. The three will explore and taste with you top examples of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay being produced in California today that are allowing for true expressions of a wine’s terrior to be present in the glass. These wines will help you to recognize the diverse balance of components that make up the world’s greatest wines – fruit, acidity, structure and alcohol – and why a new generation of vintners is ushering in a new golden era of wine in the Golden State.

Leave work early for this can’t miss ode to anything and everything pig!

Separated by approximately four thousand miles of land and sea the regions of Charleston, South Carolina and the Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe, France appear to be worlds away from commonality –until you explore their cuisines, that is.

From field peas, leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers and squash to free-roaming swine, the sun-baked slopes and fields of the Southern Rhône Valley share many of the same ingredients you will find in dishes of the American South. It is only fitting then that the wines of the Southern Rhône Valley make a perfect pairing with Southern American classics such as collards, Hoppin’ John and smoked bacon. With the help of James Beard Award-nominated Chef Joseph Lenn of Blackberry Farm, French wine importer Frederick Corriher of Route des Vins Imports will prove to your palate how impeccably suited for pairing the rustic wines of appellations such as Lirac, Ventoux, Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe are with the savory recipes of the South.

This is from the 2010 Festival, when my favorite attendees included Tyler Florence, Daniel Boulud, Michelle Bernstein and – of course – Matt and Ted Lee. I stopped the Lee brothers for this quick photo with my nephew’s ‘Flat Pat’ for his school project. On his visit to Charleston, ‘Flat Pat’ experienced all of the activities of the Festival, like cooking classes and meeting famous local chefs. Everyone I asked for photos was so nice and understood the importance of helping kids to embrace food and cooking early on! I always enjoy the cooking tips at the Culinary Village demonstrations each yea, and my husband Linn and I have been coming to or volunteering at the Festival since the very beginning!”

Three esteemed wineries of the OPC, also known as Oregon Pinot Camp, join together to give you a peek (and taste) inside this exclusive event held each year in the heart of Oregon Wine Country. While the Oregon event is reserved for members of the trade only, this Festival event will offer the opportunity for all pinot lovers to experience what industry professionals have been indulging in for years. As you taste vintages from each winery you will learn about the different styles of Pinot Noir, from lighter to heavier, and get the inside story on the region’s vineyards that so elegantly represent the art of Pinot Noir.

In its first-ever tribute dinner, the BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival® pays homage to legendary Southern Chef Frank Stitt. He is recognized as one of the first chefs to infuse Southern food with the sophistication and techniques of the French countryside. The legendary R.W. Apple wrote in The New York Times: Stitt “sniffs out prime regional ingredients – flippingly fresh seafood from the Gulf of Mexico, fruits and vegetables from Alabama farms, stone-ground grits, plump quail from the Carolinas – and cooks them with French finesse.” Stitt’s techniques and vision have inspired generations of chefs across the South, and it’s no stretch to say that Southern American cooking would not be what it is today without his influence.

FESTIVAL AFTER HOURS: PARTY AROUND THE WORLD SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 2013 8:30 – 11:30 P.M. BUS SHED, 375 Meeting Street COST: $100 PER PERSON, includes commemorative item ATTIRE: INTERNATIONAL CHIC

A native of Northern Alabama, Stitt’s culinary journey began to take shape when he moved to San Francisco and, as a philosophy student, noticed that beloved cookbooks were taking precedence over the works of Plato and Kierkegaard. He honed his kitchen skills at various Bay Area restaurants, including the kitchen of Alice Waters at her now legendary restaurant, Chez Panisse. Waters introduced him to Richard Olney, who at the time was working on the Good Cook series for Time-Life Books and needed an assistant. His professional path further evolved as he worked alongside Jeremiah Tower, Stephen Spurrier and Simca Beck.

If you thought the 2012 Festival After Hours was a great party, you haven’t seen anything yet! This year’s event will return to the expansive Bus Shed and will feature a new international twist to bring an even wider variety of food, drinks, performers and music. Experience cuisine and beverages representing countries including China, Italy, Germany, Spain, Mexico and more for an evening that’s sure to be a party in every language! Guests are encouraged to dress in attire inspired by their favorite featured country.

FEATURED LOCAL CHEFS + RESTAURANTS: Aaron Siegel, Home Team BBQ

Stitt made his way back south, to return to the foods and traditions of his childhood. His mother’s “rustic” cooking with an emphasis on vegetables and local ingredients were incredibly influential to him during his youth. Those roots, combined with his vast culinary experiences and adventurous spirit, add up to what can be described as a singular, deeply rich and passionate approach to food. Stitt incorporated this perspective into his first restaurant, Highlands Bar and Grill, which opened in Birmingham in 1982; Bottega in 1988; Café Bottega in 1990; and Chez Fonfon in 2000.

The 2013 Food + Wine With a View dinner presented by EDENS will unite a group of Southern chefs selected by Stitt, who together will create a menu showcasing his perspective on Southern cooking. With wines provided by Grassroots Wine and Pardis Stitt hosting the festivities, this is sure to be an evening to remember.

This may seem a daunting reality, yes, but one that can be easily remedied with the help of the ultimate “Whiskey Professor” Bernie Lubbers. Join Bernie for an afternoon of label reading 101 as you taste through the classic American Whiskey styles – Straight Wheat Whiskey, Bourbon Wheated, Bourbon made with Rye, Straight Corn Whiskey and Straight Rye Whiskey.

Lee ers th o r B

A food town, pure & simple

By Matt Lee and Ted Lee

The cover of the Summer 1982 issue of Tidings, “The Newsletter of Seabrook Island,” is a wide-angle photo of a pristine expanse of marsh just moments before the sun breaches the horizon at daybreak, when the sky is washed a glowing, vivid orange. In the darker foreground of the image at the end of a dock fronting Captain Sam’s Creek, its glassy surface reflecting the sky, three young boys are crabbing.

Those kids would be us, aged 9 and 11, and our friend Rutledge Young. And as staged as that photo was — we’d been cast in the role by the photographer; and truly, who’d go netting crabs before sunrise? — the excursion was very real to us because Rutledge was showing us how to catch blue crabs for the first time.

We were recent transplants to Charleston, our parents having fled New York City (fed up with their Toyotas being stolen and raising three children in a two-bedroom apartment during the Summer of Sam) for the calm of a tall, pastel-yellow house on Rainbow Row.

‘

So there we were, on that rickety dock, tying butcher’s string around a slippery raw chicken neck, dropping it down to the creek, watching for the flash of claw to emerge through a faint stirring in the water and the quiver of the line as claw clipped chicken. Dipping the long-handled net with its green webbing, scooping up the crab, the hollow scrabbling sound of the crab as it reeled angrily around the plastic 5-gallon pail, would in time become as familiar as riding a bike. But that day, on that dock, it seemed a small miracle.

We encountered numerous other “firsts” in our early years living here. We discovered boiled peanuts at the Charleston Royals baseball game, back when the team played at College Park and home runs hit beyond the outfield fence often smashed the windows of cars and houses along Rutledge Avenue. There was new lingo to learn: “benne” for “sesame,” and tastes to try: the meltin-your-mouth, salty-sweet benne wafers at the Colony Bakery on King Street became a flavor as distinct to our new lives in Charleston as the taste of an H&H bagel had been to our former hometown. We found, with the guidance of friends, the loquat trees on Chalmers Street and the mulberry tree that straddles the property line between the Hazel V. Parker Playground and the Carolina Yacht Club. Soon enough, we’d shucked our first oysters, learned how to throw a cast-net to reel in fresh shrimp, and chomped on our first syrupy scuppernongs. Scuppernongs — as fun to say as to eat!

Of course we were oblivious then that our acclimation to Charleston would add up to any cultural understanding of Lowcountry food and food-traditions.

And in many cases, these new experiences didn’t seem related to food at all. We can’t remember who cooked those crabs we caught, but somebody must have; to us, crabbing was sport, pure and simple. And while those loquats and mulberries tasted good enough, we were far more enthralled by their projectile potential, the better to bean your friends and siblings with (and, truth be told, the occasional horse-carriage tour).

BEN FINK

Charleston has always been for us a place of small miracles — firsts, discoveries, stories we’ve never heard before — in the realm of food.

In a place so rooted in tradition, and yet so perceptibly changing, learning about its culture is a life-long pleasure.
