The Southern Fork

Forrest Parker: Undiscovered Charleston (Charleston, SC)


Listen Later

Most food tours in the US involve quick stops at multiple restaurants, but in Charleston, SC, there is one that is very unique, led by a chef and certified tour guide with a passion for the history of Lowcountry foodways. Undiscovered Charleston is the brainchild of Forrest Parker, a chef whose restaurant tenures include Opryland, Louis's, the Old Village Post House, and Revival. A former 2016 South Carolina Chef Ambassador, Forrest has a cookbook collection that spans 3000 volumes and three storage units, and that's not including his extensive collection of old restaurant menus from the Holy City. He weaves history, architecture, and plenty of good food into this intimate walking tour that ends in lunch, and it's rated the #1 most popular food experience in the world on TripAdvisor. Walk a morning with Forrest, and you realize that his encyclopedic knowledge of Charleston restaurants past and present is directly connected to the city streets themselves, and he's weaving his own story into those old cobblestones with every tour.
