Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

Food Trucks (and lots more)!

One of the great culinary developments in recent years in Charleston is the proliferation of high quality food trucks (they are even organized within the Charleston Food Truck Federation).  The range of what they produce is fantastic.

This very Charleston event is being held from 12:00 to 5:00 PM at 1820 River Road on Johns Island. Admission is free. For more information, check out here.
