Popular Northeast burrito chain to make first move into SC, starting with the Upstate

GREENVILLE — Bubbakoo’s Burritos is moving into the Carolinas as they expand further across the East Coast. Their first stores to open in South Carolina will be in Greenville and Spartanburg. Michael Lassen, vice president of development, says that expansion into the Carolinas is a “natural progression” for the company. “Our growth model is we see the Carolinas being very strong for us,” Lassen said.

Founded in 2008 in Point Pleasant, N.J., the company has expanded to over 160 location...

CCB Bistro & Vine in Rock Hill is closing. The restaurant’s owners share what’s next.

ROCK HILL — There are plenty of places to grab wine or purchase a book in Rock Hill, but not many where a customer can do both. CCB Bistro & Vine let people do just that for five years, but it will close its doors on Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving. “All good things come to an end at some point,” co-owner Shonali Thomas said. “It’s not that we failed, it’s just that it came to an end a little bit sooner than what we planned.” A lot of factors are to blame for the closure, CCB’s owners said. The rising cost of eating out and smaller appetites due to GLP-1s combined to put pressure on CCB’s...

A pair of Midlands bagel sandwich shops have announced their closure. Stacked, which had bagel sandwich restaurants at 2835 Devine St. in Columbia and 5580 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington, announced in Thursday posts on social media that both locations have closed. The locations are also marked a permanently closed on Google. “That’s a wrap,” Stacked said on Instagram. “After countless bagels, wraps, salads and memories made, both Stacked locations have officially closed their doors. To everyone who walked through our doors, shared a meal with us, brought a friend or made Stacked part of their daily routine, thank you. Your love and support have meant more to us than we can put into words.” The two Midlands storefronts opened a few years ago as Sully’s Steamers bagel sandwich locations. Earlier this year both the Columbia and Lexington addresses switched to the Stacked brand. Stacked offered number of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, including a host of “signature stacks” that could be served as a wrap or on a toasted or steamed bagel. They also had salads and other offerings. “While this chapter has come to an end, we will always be grateful for the memories made, the friendships formed and the

Recommendation of the Week: Dipped cone at Zesto of West Columbia

Sometimes an icon is more than just a symbol. For 77 years, Zesto of West Columbia has been a fixture on 12th Street, offering up burgers , chicken, fries, milkshakes, hot dogs and more. The restaurant is such a mainstay that earlier this year a section of 12th Street, from Jarvis Klapman Boulveard down to Knox Abbott Drive, was named Gus Manos Memorial Street in memory of one of the West Columbia restaurant’s late co-owners. While I do love a good Zesto burger and fries, on a recent afternoon visit I went with a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. There’s a reason they have a towering sculpture of it outside, after all. With its solid chocolate shell enveloping the super sweet vanilla ice cream , the dipped cone remains a classic afternoon snack, a reward after soccer practice , or a treat for just about any other occasion.
