On weekends, it’s not unusual to find a crowd of diners waiting outside on the sidewalk in front of Charleston’s Cafe — it’s an in-demand spot for a big hearty brunch. They’re lining up for waffles, pancakes, and french toast piled high with fruit and dusted with powdered sugar, or to build their own omelets from a choice of two dozen ingredients. The Cafe’s signature potato casseroles start with a layer of fried potato “chippers” and load them down with a pile of tempting toppings. The names are taken from local islands, like the Wadmalaw, with broccoli, tomatoes, and squash, or the Kiawah, with a thick blanket of cheddar cheese and sausage gravy. At lunch, the fare shifts to salads and sandwiches with interesting twists, like a blackened salmon BLT and turkey panini with a zippy horseradish cranberry sauce. —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
