Chef Carlos Brown’s enthusiasm for crafting Gullah-inspired dishes from the heart is the result of spending his childhood inside of the Charleston kitchens of his mother and grandmother. Watching the women in his family express love through food inspired the Chef to pursue a culinary career that highlights the importance of hospitality and community. “The food they made was the passion that brought my family together,” he said. “I’ve seen my mom and grandma put a lot of love into their food and that love was the thing that always brought us back together.”
