What is the ‘rocks’ charge on my Charleston restaurant bill? It isn’t for ice.

Is it just me, or are more and more Charleston restaurants leaving the prices off of their online menus? Like most diners, I prefer to know how much items cost ahead of a visit, especially when we're eating with kids and might be in a rush. When dish prices aren't made available, it doesn't just ruin my pre-dinner scouting mission — it makes me wonder why they're trying to hide them. At restaurants, surprises are typically a good thing. But that's rarely the case when it comes to the bill, which brings me to our first Tip Jar inquiry of the week. Submit your restaurant, dining and food questio...

"To eulogize Daddy is to leave something out" Alex Sanders funeral draws hundreds

Hundreds of people turned out for a funeral Thursday at Trinity Cathedral celebrating the life of the many-sided Alex Sanders, masterful storyteller and lawyer, prankster, former chief judge of the S.C. Court of Appeals and ex-president of the College of Charleston. Sanders had so many dimensions that Trinity’s head priest, Dean Cameron Nations, said at the outset of his 10-minute homily that there were not going to be any eulogies because Zoe Sanders, Alex’s daughter, had told him, “To eulogize Daddy is to leave something out.” Sanders died last week of natural causes at the age of 88.
