You don’t need me to tell you how good Husk is. Since its opening in November 2010, Sean Brock’s second restaurant in Charleston has drawn national raves from the likes of Bon Appetit, the New Yorker and the New York Times. Reviewers swoon—with ample reason, as a meal there this winter bears witness—over Brock’s daily-changing menu of echt-Lowlands farm-to-table dishes. Locals extoll his virtually single-handed resuscitation of nearly-extinct local ingredients.
