Howdy travels, we discovered another fantastic relaxation destination.

Located in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina THE PALEMTTO offers everything you want to see is cozy and friendly boutique hotel. It has stunning artwork, warm colors, southern charm, and first-class furnishings. It’s located in the heart of the Historic District and is within walking distance from everything you want to see and enjoy. Everything that makes Charleston so beloved awaits right outside the front doors. You’re near the city’s finest restaurants, bars, parks, shops, and much more.

As you open the front door and walk inside, you notice the sweet Southern feel of cozy Charleston. The hotel lobby embodies the days of old when everything was filled with class and charm. The decor is so comfortable that it makes one feel right at home. You can enjoy an evening cocktail while you read a book, talk with friends, or enjoy your surroundings as you unwind before heading to your inviting room. 

The beautifully appointed guest rooms offer artful design and luxury touches to ensure an elevated experience without missing the comforts of home. They have beautiful and inviting bathrooms that provide everything you need for your stay.  Those showers are unforgettable—big, roomy, and state-of-the-art, with various buttons for different water flow, pressure, and messages. The beds are very comfortable, which is extremely important when traveling. They have a hidden bar behind Credenza doors offering coffee and spirits to make your stay cozier and more enjoyable. ( The spirits are extra)  The bedding is lovely, with fluffy pillows and soft sheets, so you can feel refreshed and ready for the next day while you roam Charleston.

A Day at the Amazing Lewis BBQ in Charlestion Visiting the Trailblazer and Legend John Lewis

Trey Chapman Chow

 

Howdy Chow Hounds and Barbeque Lovers,

World-Famous Lewis Barbeque Tray

Today, we’re at the world-famous LEWIS BARBECUE in Charleston, South Carolina, to research the meaty deliciousness we’ve heard so much about. This is where pitmaster and barbeque legend John Lewis has created a world of his own in the vast field of freshly prepared barbeque and eats. If you know me and my addiction to creative chefs, pitmasters, and culinary pioneers, you know why we had to make the trip. 

When you make the corner and pull up to LEWIS BARBECUE, you notice the massive modern restaurant that bears his name. To be honest, it’s breathtakingly beautiful and totally unexpected. Set up with a beautiful Charleston landscape encompassing large southern trees, it’s inviting, cozy, and warm. You feel right at home or in someone’s backyard enjoying BBQ. But you’re not! You’re at the world-famous LEWIS BARBECUE fixing to slang back some of the BEST BBQ in the United States. 

I live for telling back stories because anything tastes better with a little story-ness behind it. A trailblazer in the neo-traditional style of Central Texas barbecue, Pitmaster John Lewis uses his custom-made smokers to produce expertly smoked pork spareribs, beef ribs, “Texas hot guts“ sausage, and his legendary world-famous beef brisket.

Lewis Bark-O-Licious Brisket Deliciousness

John was born in Brooklyn, NY; when he was a kid, he moved to El Paso, TX. At 18, he packed up and moved to Austin to start his culinary career. Around this time, John’s parents gave him a New Braunfels smoker for his birthday, and he started dabbling in Austin’s longstanding tradition of backyard barbecue. He was soon getting creative with his smokers and meats, taking liberties with the design and construction to yield a better result. To this day, John has never purchased a premade barbecue pit or smoker, preferring to forge his own by hand. Through many years of trial and error, he’s achieved his desired results—a signature “John Lewis barbecue“ flavor and texture.

The rest, they say, is history! Moving to Charleston and opening LEWIS BARBECUE, which offers a wide variety of fresh BBQ deliciousness and more. Meats, sides, sandwiches, desserts, nachos, chips and queso, beef tallow fries, the creations seem to be endless. Anything you order and bite into will be a TRIP STRAIGHT to DELICIOUSVILLE. You won’t stop at FLAVORTOWN because DELICIOUSVILLE is one stop past FLAVORTOWN and the end of the line. It doesn’t get any better than DELICIOUSVILLE! 

We enjoyed a big tray of food: Flavor-loaded Hot Guts Sausage, Appetizing Green Chili Sausage, Juicy Smoked turkey, Succulent Pulled Pork, Bark-O-Licious Smoked Brisket, Pork-O-Licious Pork Ribs, Tasty Corn Pudding, Cheesy Mac-N-Cheese, creamy tator salad, Sweet and Savory Banana Pudding that tasted like perfection. 

I’m just going to say this: The entire meal simply tasted like MORE because MORE is all I wanted. John’s new name is MORE, that’s right, MORE JOHN! 

If you love freshly prepared deliciousness, then LEWIS BARBEQUE has what you need. I don’t think you should BLAME ME when you become addicted and have NAUGHTY BBQ DREAMS after you leave because it’s going to happen. 

Before you leave, tell Ol’ MORE JOHN that Trey said HELLO!
