Acclaimed chef to join Charleston Place for year-long pop-up restaurant

Daniel Humm, the acclaimed chef behind New York City’s three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park, will launch a yearlong pop-up restaurant at The Charleston Place starting Oct. 2. The collaboration will take over the hotel’s former Charleston Grill space.

The partnership will focus on Humm’s commitment to plant-forward and climate-conscious foodways as well as the top-notch service that Daniel Humm Hospitality is known for. The menu will feature seasonal produce and Lowcountry ingredients along with wine pairings and creative cocktails.

“This project represents more than a collaboration, it’s a shared commitment to bringing people together through the language of food,” said Humm in a press release. “Charleston’s connection to the land and sea, and its culinary traditions — from its native ingredients and historic role in maritime trade to its abundant local farms and fisheries — offer so much to learn from. I’m excited to spend time here, connect with the community, and grow through the experience.”

The $135 per person prix fixe menu offers five courses. Choices include radish carpaccio with apple, daikon and rutabaga, ricotta gnudi with Parmesan and black truffle and celery root schnitzel with fennel and black truffle.

As part of the initiative, Beemok Hospitality Collection, owner and operator of The Charleston Place, will launch an apprenticeship program. It will give Charleston-based culinary professionals a chance to train at Eleven Madison Park. A reciprocal program will send Eleven Madison Park team members to Charleston.

During the 12-month collaboration, the restaurant will also host other guest chef residencies.

“This partnership celebrates what makes hospitality so powerful – bringing people together through extraordinary experiences,” said BHC President Casey Lavin. “Chef Humm’s curiosity to learn and immerse himself in culture, paired with his humble and thoughtful culinary approach, make this collaboration especially meaningful.

“United by Chef’s creative vision and our shared passion for intentional hospitality across BHC and Daniel Humm Hospitality, we’re excited to contribute to Charleston’s vibrant dining scene in a way that inspires connection, conversation, and a true sense of community.”
