CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA - Today we’re going on a Gullah Geechee and Soul Food tour in Charleston, South Carolina. I’ll be trying some of the classic dishes like Turkey wings, red rice, crab and rice, and not missing out on the mountain of garlic butter crabs!

Bertha's Kitchen (goo.gl/maps/T8wwFps9wdtCXo5W6?entry=yt)
This was one of the restaurants I was most looking forward to trying when I was in Charleston - so try their traditional Soul food and Gullah food. They’ve even won a James Beard award! Their red rice, fried catfish, and especially their giant turkey wing was the highlight. Excellent food, highly recommended when you’re in Charleston.

Next we headed to Hannibal's Kitchen, again a restaurant that legendary for their Gullah food in Charleston. They have all sorts of southern specialties here including crab rice and lima beans with pig tails.

Big thank you to Chef BJ Dennis (www.instagram.com/chefbjdennis/) for this recommendation. Ravenel Fresh Seafood serves local South Carolina seafood, prepared Gullah style. You can’t go wrong with the red rice and fried fish, but people most come here for the mountain of crabs with thick garlic butter sauce all over it.

    As a person who lives and was raised here in Charleston South Carolina, I can tell you I never thought I would see the day he would be here. As a restaurant, owner and operator, I salute you mark for visiting the birthplace of Soulfood in the south of America. I know most of your subscribers are here for the food, but people really need to take a moment and realize those areas where you visited and stayed are focal points in American history. I’m part of the Gullah Geechee culture and those recipes are sacred man. Thank you so much for coming to my hometown to give exposure to not just the best soul food in America but places that have been nearly unchanged for hundreds of years. Charleston we made it!!! #GeecheeProud

    BRO!!!!! I'm born and raised in Chucktown and I'm so happy that whoever recommended these stops sent you to the real city spots. Most of these food shows/YouTubers go to the tourist traps. My friend you are eating 100 percent authentic Black/African Charleston food. Everything you ate I grew up on. Much respect. I wish I knew you were in town, I would've stopped by and given you your props. Come back anytime

    I'm a native of South Carolina. My peoples are from what we call the Low Country, although now I live in the Upstate. Thank you for featuring the Gullah food. Your video makes me want to call in sick to work and hit the road to Edisto Beach. The Low Country is Heaven, Brother Mark!
  • @robinyarbrough6898
    I love how Mark goes to every country and truly enjoy the food and the culture, he always makes me so hungry .
  • My homeee! This is awesome seeing a video about Charleston. I am from Addis, Ethiopia and was adopted and I have watched all your videos about Ethiopia and now seeing you do Charleston is just amazing! My heart is so happy :) I hope you had an amazing visit!
  • @berthahaynes157
    My mother was from South Carolina and everything you’re eating was a part of my childhood. Red rice and the okra and tomatoes I really thought my mother made those up because none of my friends ate them. I miss my mother.
  • @VeVeJustMe
    Thank you Mark for this feature. It means a lot to my folks!
  • @ashmurran
    Ain’t nothing like some down south garlic blue crabs! ♥️
  • Wow, this food tour focusing on Gullah Geechee and soul food sounds absolutely amazing! The Gullah Geechee people have done a remarkable job preserving their West African culture, especially along the coast of the Carolinas. From their traditions to music and heritage, they have also managed to preserve their unique and delicious cuisine. I can already imagine the mouthwatering home-cooked food you'll be enjoying on this tour. From okra and stews to fried chicken and pigtail, every dish promises to be a delightful treat for the taste buds. And let's not forget about the rice and garlic crabs, which are sure to add even more flavor to the experience. I'm thrilled that you'll be sharing your food adventure through this video. It's a fantastic opportunity for us to vicariously enjoy all the delicious dishes and get a glimpse into the rich culinary traditions of the Gullah Geechee people. Bon appétit!

    Mark, this video was terrific. Not only because that's where my family is from, but the way you enjoyed the food made it like I was almost there tasting it too.
  • @AmbientWalking
    There's nothing more fun than following you around on these tours! Love seeing the world through your eyes!
  • Hey Mark, could you make a top 5 or top 10 of the best meals you ate since you started your channel??? I bet most of your viewers would be very curious to know that!!!
  • @miguelito29229

  • @angiebrown2482
    Mark, thanks for stopping by S.C. to show the world some of the tasty Gullah foods. Enjoyed the segment and will visit when I'm in the area. Hello Micah and Ying!!
  • I love Mark’s videos in the US - there’s just something so special and beautiful about the content he makes when he’s here. The Carolinas are a must visit for every American, you’ve never had better food than in the south.
  • Mark, thank you for showcasing the awesome food we have in South Carolina. Especially, the Low Country and bringing awareness to the Gullah Geechee food culture. It's nothing like it in the entire country and I could tell that you enjoyed every bite of it. You'll be back!!!
  • @blessedgullah4096
    As a native, great job on your choices. The restaurants you’ve visited so far are true local favorites. Y’all researched well. If you need any recommendations on tours, or literature on the culture I’ll be happy to oblige. Thanks.

    What a life your son is getting to experience following his dad around the world, learning about history, culture, people, foods… does Micah speak multiple languages like you?
  • @bandheadhbcu
    Yes, Gullah culture and food is amazing. South Carolina is one of top 5 best food destinations in the states. Thanks for showcasing it. 😋
