3 chicken fingers, fries, 1 Cane’s sauce, Texas toast, regular drink (Diet Coke).
Raising Cane’s, North Charleston SC
We don’t have this fast food chain on the West Coast so I had to try it while I was in the Charleston area. It was pretty good as deep fried chicken strips go, and I really liked the Cane’s sauce. I’m still a little baffled by the Texas toast. It’s just so thick and buttery that I don’t know how it really fits into an already artery-clogging meal.
Croissant bread pudding with coconut and chocolate sauce. $3
Whisk, Charleston SC
This bread pudding was SUPER sweet! I like sweet things, but this was a little too much – it made my teeth ache. The combination is great, but they need to take it easy on the sugar.
Iced coffee. $3.25
Charleston Waterfront Park Fountain. There are usually kids running around the center of this fountain, but I was able to snap a quick unobstructed shot.
Raspberry twist on an old-fashioned favorite. $1.99
Cracker Barrel Restaurant, North Charleston SC
This place is a trip! Even though there were kids and families everywhere, I couldn’t help feel like I was at a senior citizen center. The servers are a random crew with differing levels of hospitality. Not really my kinda place.
Half-rack slow-cooked for hours then covered with tangy barbecue sauce. With fresh grilled green beans and roasted spaghetti squash. $13.99
Ruby Tuesday, North Charleston SC
Bbq ribs are my weakness! These were good, but definitely on the salty side. I tried ordering “healthier” side options, but they arrived totally drenched in butter anyway so that was pointless.
Made-from-scratch garlic cheese biscuits. Mmm, these were actually very tasty! They were small but I’m sure they were loaded with calories.
