Before opening new concepts, chefs and restaurants tend to test the water in Charleston with highly-anticipated pop-up nights. It gives audiences a chance to learn about the food and teams behind the food an opportunity to look into their potential guests. As various events come up on the Lowcountry calendar, we'll add them here. Right now, look for ramen and barbecue this month and next.
If we missed anyone, let us know, and we'll keep the list up to date.
