A Charleston-Inspired Gathering

Jubilant Sunday Brunch

And so the time came to share the rich bounty of Charleston’s cheer with our family and friends. With so many memorable meals and unforgettable experiences to draw from, we finally opted to channel the easy refinement of the cozy secret garden nooks South of Broad, and the dreamy front porch at Zero George Street; the casual-chic premise of Rebecca Wesson Darwin’s double-piazza party style and the welcoming innovation of HUSK’s dinner and bar; the ‘down to the tiniest detail’ thoughtfulness of The Ordinary and the cozy camaraderie at Callie’s HLB. The result is a festive Sunday of comfort fare, football and quality time for waxing poetic about the Holy City over plenty of punch.

THE SUNDAY BRUNCH MENU

Charleston Light Dragoon’s Punch + Bourbon Spiced Pecans

Inspired by our friends at The Bar at HUSK and G&G Mercantile Co., the fun and festive punch pairs perfectly with these addictive spicy-sweet pecans.

THE TABLE

A tablecloth in rich, durable damask is an effortless canvas for the guest of honor at any buffet: the food! Try pairing heirloom platters of varying scale with pedestals or footed bowls for an enticing spread. Break out the fine china and twinkling mercury glass to give your brunch an added pinch of festivity.
