Born and raised in Charleston, celebrity chef Kardea Brown knows more than a thing or two about “delicious eats.” The South Carolina native has been hosting her TV show, Delicious Miss Brown, from her home on Edisto Island since 2019. She also published her first cookbook, The Way Home, which celebrates Gullah/Geechee cooking traditions, in 2022.

For her next act, Kardea Brown is bringing her culinary creations to the frozen foods section. According to Chew Boom, the popular Food Network personality has drawn on her South Carolina roots with a new line of Southern-inspired frozen entrees called “Delicious Eats by Kardea Brown.” There are four items available now at Walmart stores across the U.S.

Delicious Eats by Kardea Brown

  • Country Kitchen Fried Chicken: A good place to start! Crispy chicken flavored with a blend of savory spices and seasonings. Oh, and creamy, buttery mashed potatoes on the side.
  • Chicken Pot Pie: One of my all-time favorite meals! It’s a medley of tender chicken pieces and farm-fresh vegetables including carrots, peas, and celery all nestled in a flaky, golden-brown crust.
  • Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo: This sounds more Italian, but wait for it. This entree is made with pieces of juicy grilled chicken on a bed of fettuccini and (here it comes) collard greens, all topped with a low country style cream sauce.
  • Sausage & Grits: Gotta have grits in the South! How about savory smoked kielbasa and perfectly prepared parmesan grits? Yes, please.

These South Carolina Restaurants Were Nationally Recognized As Hidden Gems

There are restaurants that deservedly receive a lot of attention and publicity. And typically for great reason. But now it’s time to delve into some different restaurants. Not necessarily the newest or the trendiest, but definitely some of the best. And these three restaurants in South Carolina are wonderful hidden gems. They were named amongst the top 25 hidden gem restaurants on TripAdvisor’s recently released Best of the Best list. This list is nationwide so to have any restaurant included is impressive, but to have 3 of the 25 is certainly something to be proud of.

The most surprising part of this? The three restaurants recognized by TripAdvisor are in three different cities. Typically we see Charleston receiving this recognition time and time again. And while it’s deserved (and one of these places is in Charleston), it’s also nice to see other South Carolina cities getting some love! All three restaurants are on the coast though. Not only was South Carolina recognized North Carolina also had two restaurants named as the best of the best hidden gems. If you aren’t good at math- that 20% of the best restaurants are in one of the two Carolinas.

Other states that got some love include New York, Tennessee, and Florida. Each of those states had multiple restaurants make the list as well. How were these restaurants selected for this top 25 list from TripAdvisor? TripAdvisor says that the Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best restaurants have “a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews” from users over a 12-month period. Fewer than 1% of Tripadvisor’s 8 million listings are awarded Best of the Best. You can read the full list and more about the 3 South Carolina Hidden Gems Award winners here.
