Get that dessert you’ve always wanted. 🍮
Restaurant Week South Carolina is here, y’all. We don’t mess around with hangry people so we are getting straight to the point.
Here’s what you need to know:
📆 It’s longer than a week – Restaurant Week started yesterday and ends Jan. 21.
💁 You’ll probably run into at least one Cola food celeb (@colatownfoodie, @messykitchgirl, @gocola + @sodacitysitesandbites are sure to be around).
🍝 Even though you can spend ~$35 for a 3-course prix-fixe meal, most restaurants’ regular menus will still be available.
📱 Tag #rwsc and @restaurantweeksc on Instagram or Facebook for a chance to see your photos reposted.
What’s new this year?
🔍 A new feature on the website from South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association allows you to refine your search of participating restaurants based on location, dietary restrictions + pet/kid-friendliness.
Here’s what we’re most excited to try:
