Charleston’s restaurants, sommeliers, and beer makers continue to reap great press and adulation from the rest of the world. Here’s the latest:

Oak was names a Best Steakhouse in America by the Daily Meal.

Charleston Grill and Circa 1886 were both recognized as one of America’s Best 100 Wine Restaurants of 2013. They join such stalwarts as Le Bernardin and French Laundry. Congrats to Rick Rubel and Andrew Marshall at Charleston Grill and Mark Severs at Circa 1866 for having “a true passion for presenting mind-blowing wine-and-food pairings.”

Eatocracy deemed Westbrook Brewery’s new Gose one of 13 worthy beers to drink this summer. Writer Nathan Berrong says: “Westbrook’s Gose … is one of the best I’ve ever had. If you can wrap your mind around the idea of drinking a beer that is slightly sour, salty, citrusy and sessionable at only 4%, this is definitely the summer beer for you.” 

Butcher & Bee’s Chinese pork belly sandwich was deemed one of 50 things to eat and drink right now by Alan Richman in GQ Magazine.
