Chef Vivian Howard to open first Charleston restaurants
Chef Vivian Howard, who gained fame with her PBS series on opening a restaurant in rural North Carolina, is expanding her culinary acumen to the foodie city of Charleston, S.C.
Eater Charleston reports that Howard will open a “casual yet refined” restaurant named Lenoir at the city’s Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel.
She also plans to open a bakeshop, Hot + Handy, which will serve grab-and-go foods such as biscuits, hand pies, and sandwiches, per Eater.
Both are expected to open this summer.
Howard owns Chef & the Farmer and the Boiler Room in Kinston, North Carolina where she filmed her series, “A Chef’s Life.” A new series, “Somewhere South,” will premiere March 27 on PBS stations, featuring collaborations with other chefs, including Marcus Samuelsson.
