A Southern feast

Esbi B. of Summerville would like to invite a culinary legend, a musical icon and a talented actor to a dream dinner. Together, they would sip a boozy cocktail while indulging in Southern dishes like hush puppies, pork chops and more.

DREAM DINNER GUESTS: “Anthony Bourdain, Eartha Kitt, Tom Hanks.”

DRINK: Annex from Last Saint. “The team [at Last Saint] … creates stellar custom cocktails and the space is indisputably cool.”

APPETIZER: Cheddar Bay hush puppies and Oysters Delany from Delaney Oyster House. “The hushpuppies at Delaney are the best in Charleston. They are crisp with an interior so moist it’s almost spongey in the best way. … And you can’t eat at a place with oysters in the name without getting at least a half dozen. All the choices on the raw bar are pristine, but the Oysters Delaney would be my choice because they’re topped with caviar.”

ENTREE: Pork chop sandwich from Bertha’s Kitchen. “Can’t beat a pork chop sandwich in my book and nobody makes a pork chop sandwich like the people behind the counter at Bertha’s Kitchen (and my mama).”

DESSERT: Banana pudding sundae from Ye Olde Fashioned Ice Cream in West Ashley. “It’s creamy, and banana-y and the location on Savannah Highway serves you enough to choke an elephant.”
