In keeping with Eater tradition, our closeout of the year is a survey of friends, industry types and bloggers. To kick it off in Charleston, Eater asked the group eight questions, ranging from the restaurants they frequent most to the biggest surprises of the year. Responses are in no particular order, and readers are encouraged to leave answers in the comments.

Evolving. The types of cuisine are evolving (Vietnamese, Lebanese) and so is the city. You couldn't escape the Upper King conversation in 2013.
