The Historic Charleston Supper Club is Moving to the Governor’s House Inn
The Historic Charleston Supper Club, founded in 2020, is changing its location to the historic Governor’s House Inn, located on Broad St in downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
The Governor’s House Inn was built in 1760. It was the home of Edward Rutledge, one of this country’s founding fathers as he was the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence. He hosted many dignitaries during his time there, including
George Washington. Also, born in this very house in 1782 was Edward’s daughter, Sarah. She would go on to write the very first published cookbook in Charleston’s history, “The Carolina Housewife.” Mike Hebb is the operator of the Historic Charleston Supper Club. He is both a Chef and a Culinary Historian.
Mike offers a five-course tasting menu where each of the first three courses focuses on a specific period of Charleston’s food history: Colonial, Antebellum, and Reconstruction. Each dish served is authentic to the time period. The dinner on average offers 3 entrees and sides, 2 desserts, and 4 candies, so please come hungry. Mike dresses in period attire and narrates each course with culinary history and general Charleston history.
“I am so excited about this opportunity to move the Historic Charleston Supper Club to the Governor’s House Inn. The Governor’s House Inn has such a rich culinary and political history, and I look forward to now being a small part of that history and sharing it with others,” said Mike.
The Historic Charleston Supper Club will be offering dinners at the Governor’s House Inn on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 7:30 pm. A glass of Madeira wine, the most popular wine of this era, will also be offered upon arrival as well. Opening weekend is the weekend of March 12, 2022. Booking and more information are available at www.historicsupperclub.com.
