Walters Farm is a fitting start to the Fresh at the Farm Dinner series as Chef Thompson and Stephen Walters, proprietor of Walters Farm, have been friends since childhood. Chef Thompson jokingly refers to Steven as “his personal farmer”. Steven Walters personally grows and harvests everything on his 5-acre farm and then makes the 45-minute drive to deliver it to Chef Thompson. Both are excited about allowing guests to dine on ingredients right where they are produced, fortifying the connection between farm and food.

Charleston Culinary Tours combine the best of Charleston history, cocktails and food with unique tours that highlight the Lowcountry. Each Charleston Culinary Tour visits several different restaurants, bars or the Farmer’s Market to combine elements of a historical tour with a culinary adventure. The food and drinks on the tours are chosen by various restaurant and bar partners and feature an array of eclectic dishes and concoctions that provide insight into Charleston’s cuisine and cocktail scene. On each tour, guests will not only have an opportunity to sample some of the Lowcountry’s finest offerings, but also to meet the owners, chefs and mixologists behind Charleston’s impressive culinary and bar innovations.

Favorite Isle of Palms, SC Restaurant Transitions to New Name as Cuisine Style Shifts


Guests who have been to Acme Cantina recently have noticed subtle changes to the menu. As Executive Chef Frank Kline started to focus on more locally farmed contemporary cuisine, Acme added Lowcountry to the restaurant’s name. Today, the owners are changing the eatery’s name to Acme Lowcountry Kitchen as they completely re-brand their concept.

“Over the past two years our menu has transformed substantially from Tex-Mex to localize coastal cuisine,” said co-owner Rodger Tully. “We just don’t feel that Cantina is the right descriptive word for our brand anymore.”
Acme Lowcountry Kitchen serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily with flavor profiles that exemplify fresh local ingredients with a strong presence towards seafood. The restructured lunch and dinner menus combine elements of traditional Lowcountry cuisine with classic fare offered at reasonable prices in a casual beach atmosphere. Additionally, there are weekly specials that include an Early Bird Special weekdays, Kids Eat Free on Mondays and Lobster Night on Thursdays.  Additionally, there is a full premium bar, TVs for sports and occasionally live music.
