Also not into Cajun food but do like a Cajun pasta dish with chicken I've gotten somewhere around here I can't remember. Is there a lot of seafood in charleston? There aren't a lot of seafood dishes I like :/
I'm just joking! MTp is still on the list definitely. I've lived many places and it's basically the same types of people/neighborhoods everywhere...
I like Belk...I've never seen a 200 dollar sundress in a Belk though! Whoa!
I could have been exaggerating, but not by a lot. I have found their prices, unless on sale or in clearance, are kind of high, at least for me.

Could it have been at Gilligan's you had the dish? My mother had a cajun chicken alfredo dish there when she came to visit and really liked it.
There is a lot of seafood around. I'm the same way. I don't care for a lot of seafood dishes. I really wish that I liked oysters because of all the oyster roasts going on. I like shrimp, and there are always shrimp dishes wherever we go to eat. There are a lot of other dishes at all the restaurants like chicken, beef, pork, and pasta.
If you like sweets, the desserts around here are incredible! That is my big downfall.
I have been to Cupcake in Mount Pleasant and Charleston. They are very good, but Sugar Bakeshop has them beat! It is a small place and you can go in and buy single cupcakes and pastries.
You should try the Peninsula Grill coconut cake. I will admit I haven't tried theirs but only because I found the recipe and made it myself. The cake was a good 10 lbs or so, had 10 sticks of butter, 4 or 5 cups of cream, and 11 cups of coconut. It takes 2 days to make and was worth every minute! I want to try the "real" one now to compare.
So I make a lot of Paula Deen recipes...my dh says the food in charleston is probably like that.. Is that accurate?
I'm not sure because I really haven't looked at Paula Dean recipes. There seem to be biscuits everywhere, green beans, collard greens, grits, and fried chicken (Poogan's Porch's is great!). Sweet potato biscuits are the best!
Her restaurant is in Savannah about two hours south of here, but the wait to get in is atrocious, we normally eat at Uncle Bubba's, it is her brother's restaurant basically the same food with out the wait....
