Host Richard Martin headed down to the Charleston Wine And Food Festival a couple weeks ago and scored on-the-fly interviews with some of the South's best chefs: Maneet Chauhan, Katie Button, Mashama Bailey (joined by business partner and restaurateur Johno Morisano) and Linton Hopkins (joined by chefs Damon Wise and Jennifer Yee). We asked them about their recent and upcoming projects, and discussed the dining scene of Charleston. We wrap up in Post Bites with comedian Brian Park telling us about the time he found out what his favorite childhood snack actually was. But first, the news:
