“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Andrew Wilson back to the heart of Charleston as our new Executive Chef,” said Karalee Fallert of Park & Grove. “His commitment to excellence, creativity, and a deep connection to the local food scene make him a perfect fit for our restaurant. We’ve been engaged in lengthy discussions around accessibility and what it means to incorporate locally grown food in the daily/weekly routine, not just at special occasions or fine dining experiences. Chef Andrew has been leading our new direction to bring ingredients from a wide swath of local producers served with an everyday approach.”

THE EVERYDAY APPROACH

“This city has always been close to my heart, and I’m excited to showcase the culinary treasures of the Lowcountry through our team’s dedication and passion for exceptional dining experiences. What invigorates me the most is working hand in hand with local producers to create simply delicious and craveable food. It’s about creating nourishing and connecting moments for our guests, more regularly.“

Park & Grove patrons can expect the same fresh approach to local ingredients with a revamped menu under Chef Wilson’s leadership. Guests can look forward to late winter dishes such as Miso glazed SC turnips with shoyu & mint ($12), Cindy Tarvin’s grilled shrimp, sea island red peas, local pepper salad, lemon vinaigrette ($21) and Duck Confit sandwich with apricot mostarda, goat cheese, arugula on schiacciata ($17.) Refined and delicious fare without the fine dining prices. Other menu highlights offer Monday thru Saturday nightly specials including “Say When” Muscles & Fries ($27) and Lowcountry Seafood Stew ($29).
