Sometimes I think MLers are watching me...

[Deleted]

...when I'm out eating or doing whatever.

Like when you look down at your plate to shovel another forkfull into your mouth, and, across the room, somebody keeps staring at you.

If you see me, come say hello!  LOL.

I am crazy, of course.

[berbles]

If I ever saw someone I thought might be you, I would probably convince myself that I was being racist. I KNOW ALL ASIANS DON'T LOOK ALIKE, I SWEAR.

I am currently in Charleston.

If you see a slightly chubby Asian girl stuffing her face and taking photos, it's probably me.

Charleston is only 1.6% Asian.

LMFAO.  If I was to see you anywhere, it would probably be in San Francisco.  Which has a...slightly higher percentage of Asians.

I was at the same wedding last weekend as another pandceer. I didn't say hello (what if I was wrong? Most awkward conversation eveeeeer) but I did pm her later.

Wow!

SEE?  IT CAN HAPPEN!

I say it depends how well you "know" each other.  If somebody I regularly chat with here saw me and didn't say hello, I'd be really disappointed.

[cville]

I love Charleston. If I saw you there I'd be super happy for two reasons!

[eb777888]

Oh, I'd say hello.

It is a delicious place!

[VeryViolet]

Are you eating at Husk?

I am pissed I didn't start watching Mind of a Chef until after I was in Charleston in June. The chef there is the host.

So if we're ever in the same place, just know I will creepily watch you from afar but confess later.

This would be like..... the best thing ever. I'm jealous of this other poster!

Yes!  We are eating at his other restaurant, too!

How exciting that you're here in Charleston!  What super yummy places are you eating at?    

I promise I'm at home and not out watching you eat, lol

Hahaha.  We just arrived this morning.  While we waited for our room to get ready, we got a massage and facial.

Then we went to Hominy Grill for lunch.

Now my husband is napping.  I should probably sleep, too, because of the red-eye flight.

But I'm here.

We hope to eat at the following in the next few days:

Butcher & Bee
The Glass Onion
Husk
The Macintosh
McCrady's
Sugar Bakeshop

I don't think we have time for one more meal.  There are no breakfasts because I sleep in.  LOL.

I am planning a trip to Charleston soon. I hope you post some suggestions (I'm mainly going for the food, lol)

That's why we're here, too.

I suppose we could go see a plantation or some other historically oppressive site at some point.

[bonquiqui]

I always feel like somebody's watching me...

I don't think there are many of us here. And it wasn't me, I swear.

The way this was worded, I thought you were Asian for a sec.

And then I remembered you weren't and that you meant you live here.  LOL.

We kind of stick out here.  It's not my fave feeling.

But I love grits.

[wannabe]

And now I have Maxwell in my head.

I always feeeeeel like...somebody's watching meeeeeeeee.

Oh man, there are so many good places. You already have a good list so I'll refrain from shouting out other options which I'm sure you considered already lol.

Yes, I need more time!

I couldn't get a reservation at FIG!

I was also interested in the following (for peachy's benefit):
Martha Lou's Kitchen
The Ordinary
Poogan's Porch
Two Boroughs Larder

You guys have a lot of great stuff!

It was hard to decide, and I consulted my co-worker's brother, who used to work in the kitchens of Husk and McCrady's.

[BunnyMacDougal]

True story, I had a random girl come up to me and tell me she knows me.  It was at a Junior League meeting.  I'd never laid eyes on her (I was new).

Turned out she recognized me from the knot (waaaaay back then).  We're good friends now.

[Bonita]

You have an excellent list of places - I'm definitely interested to hear if you make it to Butcher & Bee! I haven't been yet, but I hear it's yummy, and really want to try it sometime

[Deleted]

Ok, Charleston lurker who is neither Bonita nor TR, show thyself!

I know you were mesmerized by my messy rib-eating today!

We are such gluttons.  I'm really thinking we will go at 2 a.m.  Hahahahahaha.

I wouldn't be staring I would be letting you know it's time to start sharing

Hell, I'd invite you over!

Really, you should hang out with my husband.

You have similar appetite-inducing interests.  LOL.

So does Rockwell......

It's highly unlikely I'll ever blog again, so I'll post my iPhone photos in this thread for you, peachy, as the weekend progresses.

Today's lunch at Hominy Grill was fabulous.  I'm told breakfast/brunch is even better.

Complimentary boiled peanuts


Bowl of she-crab soup


Fried green tomatoes


Charleston Nasty Biscuit


Slow-Smoked St. Louis Ribs with deep fried cheese grits and mac 'n' cheese


Lemon icebox pie with blueberry sauce

Have you seen TRAV? Guaranteed he has done dick coke at least once. He's an honorary MMer.
