Our foodie gang was thrilled to be invited to one of our favorite locals spots, The Park Cafe, to try some of their new unique and Instagram-worthy brunch dishes. Bright, airy and buzzing, the atmosphere of this Rutledge hotspot always without brings me such an inner feeling of warmth and community. Last Saturday , an intimate group of us cozied around one of the large tables by the window for a relaxing morning filled with coffee and mimosas and some of the most delicious brunch cuisine ever had at a TastemakersCHS meet up. See below for some of the hearty yet healthy plates our group couldn't get enough of.
We were also thrilled that the Park Cafe joined our charity partnership program, donating $1 from every order of the Whipped Ricotta sold through December to Bread + Butter. A booming new nonprofit in Charleston, Bread + Butter aims to connect the city’s hospitality industry with the community through staffing and service initiatives. Not only is Bread + Butter working to solve the staffing crisis in Charleston by screening and placing qualified hospitality workers in positions, but they are connecting local restaurants with nonprofits for events, donations and other initiatives.

Red Velvet Waffle: candied apricots, chocolate, raspberry jam, mascarpone whipped cream
Carbonara Ravioli: peas, roasted shitake mushrooms, poached egg, beurre monte
