This Charming South Carolina Spot Is Part Café, Part Grocery Store—And Worth The Trip

When I opened the brown paper bag it smelled like popcorn. The freshly baked bread inside had a delicious aroma of oil, salt and just a hint of sweet. After taking a bite into the perfectly crisp crust and soft doughy middle, I understood why it was such a popular staple at the Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery in Greenville, South Carolina. The success of this stecca bread, named after the Italian word for “stick”, is a story of serendipity. “We were just slow one day, and so I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll make my stecca bread,’” co-owner Mary Walsh told Southern Living. She gave some to one of their regulars, and he couldn’t stop raving about it. Now the company bakes stecca bread daily, often pumping out loafs until the early afternoon. Walsh said, “I think the freshness is what makes it extra special.”

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
