Top Chef star serves signature pastry at Sum Bar

Top Chef fans in Greenville got the chance to meet Season 23's runner-up Chef Laurence Louie and taste a bite of the food that represents his Chinese American story. Louie spent time in Greenville during the filming of Season 23 of Top Chef, so it's only fitting that Greenville would be one of his stops on his Southeast tour; for him, it's almost like a reunion. “I love Greenville,” Louie said. I was here for the show, but also, let's come back, let's cook some food.” Louie stopped by Sum Bar on Oct. 31 for a meet-and-greet, where guests could try his beloved Chinese bolo bao, a popular pastry from his Hong Kong-style cafe, Rubato, in Quincy, Massachusetts. The bolo bao is a soft, sweet bread topped with a crackly cookie-like crust. Louie filled his version with a chrysanthemum custard, adding a floral note to the sweet, buttery pastry. The bolo bao reflects Louie's close connection to his Chinese American identity, and while he didn't start cooking until he says he was 27, he's 39 now. Louie says he's learned to lean into what he knows and the experiences that distinguish him. “It's just like honoring a lot of those

Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken returns to Spartanburg's east side

Zavier Jefferies drove from Gaffney on Oct. 26 to try out the new Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken restaurant in Spartanburg. "I've been eating Lee's for a long time," he said. "I remember when it was right up there on the left." Jefferies was recalling the old Lee's chicken place, located at the corner of Fernwood-Glendale and Peachshed roads. It was one of the east side of Spartanburg's longest-running restaurants before closing in 2014. That spot is now home to the Panda Express Chinese restaurant. Jefferies was excited when he heard that a new Lee's would be opening on East Main Street, across from Spartanburg High School . "They got chicken (in Gaffney), but it ain't as good as Lee's," he said, carrying a to-go order to his car. Franchise owner and operator Harris Mullis said the signature recipe hasn't changed since the old days. There are some differences, though, between the new restaurant and the old one Jefferies remembers. Mullis's franchise has a far bigger dining area as well as a larger staff. He said he currently has a team of about 60 "phenomenal" employees. That's the key to running a successful restaurant, he said. "I know it's so cliche

Then there’s the house dill dressing, a recipe so beloved it carries the shop’s own name. Add German meatloaf, Black Forest ham, and deli meats sliced to order, and my stomach starts paying close attention.

Pergola brings farm-to-table dining to Greenville’s North Pleasantburg Drive

Nelson De Hoyos honors his roots with farm-to-table venture Pergola. For months before Pergola officially opened August 21 in the former Southern Culture location on North Pleasantburg Drive, chef and co-owner Nelson De Hoyos worked with farmers and providers to source the best of what was available locally. His many years with Halls Chophouse Management Group and the last four as a restaurant consultant provided a solid foundation for those meetings and tastings.
