Virginias on King
One of my favorite Saturday outings is the farmers market followed by brunch at Virginias on King. The Charleston Farmers Market is located in Marion Square in downtown Charleston. The market offers an abundance of locally grown produce, fresh pastas and artisinal cheeses, flowers, juried arts and crafts, and live entertainment. Many folks bring their dogs. Last weekend I even saw a cat in a stroller!! After purchasing a few treats my friends and I head to Virginias on King for a leisurely Saturday brunch.
Virginias restaurant is the perfect combination of traditional southern recipes updated with a modern flair. Each dish is lovingly prepared with the freshest, local ingredients. The menu changes seasonally with a true farm to table philosophy. The pimento cheese appetizer with crackers reminds you of sitting on the porch at grandmas with a glass of tea, but grandmas never tasted this good! On a recent visit the menu offered classic shrimp and grits, BLT with fried green tomatoes, fried oyster and spinach salad and butter bean and cornbread casserole just to name a few choices! The sandwiches come with sweet potato fries and blue cheese coleslaw. Oh my everything is so tasty!
Virginias is named for Virginia Bennett, a fine southern lady who understands the importance of family and good food. Each week the Bennett family gathers for a family meal to share time, love and of course some great cooking! This is a tradition started in 1939 and still carries on today.
