Leftovers: Tidbits from the Food & Bev Community (7/24/19)

I created the “Leftovers” series to ensure I could share as much food and bev news as possible, so here’s the latest:

1. Basic Kitchen has announced their new chef is Robin Hollis. She joined the team earlier this spring and has recently taken the lead in the kitchen. The restaurant says guests will still find their familiar favorites still on the menu, along with some new dishes.

2. Dockery’s announced the acquisition of Daniel Island Dinners and the addition of Chef Todd Ladd to the Dockery’s culinary team. Chef Ladd will oversee and operate the expanding catering, food truck, and in-home dining services of Dockery’s and will manage off-site events for the restaurant.

3. Bay Street Biergarten just launched their new happy hour menu, offering drink and food specials Monday through Friday from 4 pm to 7 pm.
   Biergarten is featuring local breweries and spirits for their “hoppy hour” for $4 – including local cans and Dixie Vodk – and a $5 Featured Frozen cocktail. The “pour your own” bier wall will be 1/2 off during happy hour as well.

   Throughout the month of July, Bay Street Biergarten will be donating $1 from each sale of their Featured Frozen cocktail and $1 from each order of their signature Freaky Taters to CharlestonGOOD.
