It’s Food Rec Friday, where I share my food and restaurant recommendations.

Crispy yet soft and absolutely loaded with flavor. I tried it, and yes — it’s very, very good. Prince St. Pizza, the New York City-born brand known for its thick, square pizza — specifically the spicy pepperoni — will open up shop on King Street this year. An official opening date hasn’t been announced.

Everyone knows about the award-winning Lewis Barbecue over on North Nassau Street, but not enough people are talking about the green chile corn pudding.

The warm slices have a crisp outer layer that encases a fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth center that is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. If you're feeling brave, try making it at home.

Treat yourself? Harlow and Pearl said, "hold my tub." The coffee shop is taking self-care very literally, and serving dirty sodas in none other than a bathtub. I stopped by the newest location (fit for Barbie), decked out in pink and sparkles, at 769 Meeting St. I ordered a strawberry soda with blueberry syrup and cold foam. I'm eyeing the Banana Pudding Latte next.

If you haven’t been to King BBQ, what are you waiting for? It’s Chef Shuai Wang’s North Charleston restaurant, described as Chinatown barbecue with Southern smoke. Everything I tried was delish. If you go, here are some must-order items: fried corn nugs with soy butter, fried smoky fried chicken sandwich, and the Sichuan collards.

Cooper Coffee & Wine is officially open. I can't wait for my next Cooper River Bend Latte; made with house-made syrups and inspired by Charleston pralines, it features brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, and toasted pecan. It paired perfectly with the px croissant that was topped with toasted marshmallow.

Today’s adventure takes us to Sullivan’s Fish Camp. Ideally, you’d visit when it’s sunny, 75, and breezy.

I recommend snacking on a few menu items. My must-order bites include Sully’s Hush Puppy Tots, broiled oysters, and the “side salad” that is much more than a side size. The only thing you need to round out your experience is a few good friends to share the meal with, and maybe an extra order of honey butter for those tots.

This spot is perfect when you need breakfast on the go, but don’t want to skimp on quality or flavor. Enter: Holey City Bagels, where I highly suggest trying a warm, tender bagel loaded with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese, nestled in crinkled foil. Wash it down with a vanilla cold brew.

This pick was inspired by TikTokers who can’t stop talking about mini cake cups coated in rainbow nonpareils from The Dotcakes in New York. While Charleston doesn’t have an exact match, the dot latte from Harlow and Pearl delivers the same colorful sugar rush.

The soft-shell crab dish from Delaney Oyster House was so good. Head to the Calhoun Street spot for the blue crab rice topped with a crispy soft-shell crab — you won’t regret it.

For those looking for a fresh pick that's equal parts refreshing and satisfying — check out the Shrimp Primal salad from Page's Okra Grill. You're in for a mountain of mixed greens topped with pan-seared shrimp, avocado, bacon, eggs, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. But the star of the show is the Vidalia onion and bacon vinaigrette.

This recommendation is for cocktails (that counts, right?). The Loutrel has launched its Garden to Glass Trail, sending guests to cocktail spots like Bar167 and The Belmont to collect stamps for trying botanical cocktails. Complete all six stops by Sunday, Oct. 25, to earn 50% off signature cocktails at Veranda Lounge for the rest of the year, plus entry to win a staycation and dining credit. Happy sipping.

If you haven’t made your way to Post House, this is your sign to make a reservation. I recently visited the spot in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant with the rest of 6AM City team based in Charleston.

I had the shrimp + quinoa bowl, and it was delish. Pro tip: wash it down with a locally brewed beer; Edmund’s Oast is on the menu. After your meal, consider making the short drive to Pitt Street Bridge for a stroll.

Charleston is home to world-class dining — but in case you didn’t know, our casual spots are just as good. One of my favorite spots for a laid-back bite is Heavy’s Barburger.

While they may be known for having one of the best burgers in Charleston, have you tried their onion rings? Let me tell you about these golden halos.

The thick slices of sweet onion are fried until crisp, then piled high and served with two dipping sauces. Although it’s tempting to jump right in, let them cool for a few minutes, because they’re always served piping hot.

Golden brown apple pie with a lattice crust, sprinkled with sugar, sits on a wooden table, evoking warmth and homemade comfort. — This pie has us wishing peach season would last all year long.

This peach pie from a little country store in Yemassee. If you've ever driven the stretch of Highway 17 between Beaufort and Charleston, you've likely stopped — and undoubtedly spent more than the allotted pit stop time — at Carolina Cider Company. Next time you're passing through, make the stop and grab a croissant-like crust, filled with juicy, cinnamon-kissed peaches.

Now, I’m flipping the script. I want your food recs. Reply to this email with your favorite recent bites (and a pic) for a chance to be featured in an upcoming newsletter.

Today's dish comes to us from our very own Stephanie Z. (in case you don't know, she's in charge of all things sales here at CHStoday). She's recommending a trip to CudaCo's recently opened Deckhouse for the flounder ceviche. She says the cancha beans are unreal.

Life's more fun when you share, so thank you to everyone who sent in their favorite bites for Food Rec Friday. This recommendation comes from reader Teresa B., who shared a photo of her board from Wine & Company. It's loaded with so many good things; I'm eyeing those chips stacked with cheese.
