With a smoked jalapeno and charred cilantro glaze, topped with chopped peanuts and green onions. $8
The Bar at Husk, Charleston SC
Ugh, such a disappointment! These wings had the crap fried out of them. They were SO dry that you really couldn’t taste much of the glaze. I can’t believe they actually sent this out!
United States Custom House. This large building looks a little out of place among the small businesses along East Bay Street and Market Street, but it looks pretty cool.
With a pickled egg, charred pepper relish and beer mustard. $8
The Bar at Husk, Charleston SC
A pretty simple dish, but all the components were delicious! The kielbasa had a great smoky flavor and was nice and fatty. I loved the pickled egg and relish, they added some acidity to help cut the fat. I’m not a big mustard fan, but the beer mustard tasted great too.

Swizzle – The drink of choice at the world’s first cocktail party in London circa 1924. Cruzan light rum falernum, lime juice, and bitters “swizzled” over hand chipped ice. $8
Lil’ Bit – A lil’ of this and a lil’ of that go a long way. Johnny Drum bourbon, Jack Rudy, orange juice, grapefruit bitters, lemon and lime. $13
The Bar at Husk, Charleston SC
The Swizzle was OK. I wasn’t crazy about the taste and was SO disappointed that the “chipped ice” became full on ice cubes. I’ve never had a swizzle cocktail that didn’t have at least crushed ice. I liked the Lil’ Bit cocktail better. It had a bolder flavor and went down smoothly.
Ripley Point Marina. On my third trip to Charleston, I stayed at a hotel in Ripley Point with a great view of the Ashley River and this marina.
