CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA - Today we’re going on a Gullah Geechee and Soul Food tour in Charleston, South Carolina. I’ll be trying some of the classic dishes like Turkey wings, red rice, crab and rice, and not missing out on the mountain of garlic butter crabs!
Bertha's Kitchen (goo.gl/maps/T8wwFps9wdtCXo5W6)
This was one of the restaurants I was most looking forward to trying when I was in Charleston - so try their traditional Soul food and Gullah food. They’ve even won a James Beard award! Their red rice, fried catfish, and especially their giant turkey wing was the highlight. Excellent food, highly recommended when you’re in Charleston.
Hannibal's Kitchen (goo.gl/maps/WbwRxT1CvovrtaSX9)
Next we headed to Hannibal's Kitchen, again a restaurant that legendary for their Gullah food in Charleston. They have all sorts of southern specialties here including crab rice and lima beans with pig tails.

Big thank you to Chef BJ Dennis ( / chefbjdennis ) for this recommendation. Ravenel Fresh Seafood serves local South Carolina seafood, prepared Gullah style. You can’t go wrong with the red rice and fried fish, but people most come here for the mountain of crabs with thick garlic butter sauce all over it.

As a person who lives and was raised here in Charleston South Carolina, I can tell you I never thought I would see the day he would be here. As a restaurant, owner and operator, I salute you mark for visiting the birthplace of Soulfood in the south of America. I know most of your subscribers are here for the food, but people really need to take a moment and realize those areas where you visited and stayed are focal points in American history. I’m part of the Gullah Geechee culture and those recipes are sacred man. Thank you so much for coming to my hometown to give exposure to not just the best soul food in America but places that have been nearly unchanged for hundreds of years.
Charleston we made it!!! #GeecheeProud
@pat22nasty I Would Never Thought He Would Visit Our City Either.... And You're Right About Sacred Recipes Also.... My Mom's Always Tells Me Don't Give Away No Recipes!!!
@@gerardford500 gerard you’re my friend on Nextdoor bro! It’s Patrick J. !!
So happy he came to see our beautiful town, he even made it out to the country in ravenel.
May the Lord Bless your travel, as you tour with your family🥰🥰🥰🥰
Makes me wish I was in S. Carolina
I'm a native of South Carolina. My peoples are from what we call the Low Country, although now I live in the Upstate. Thank you for featuring the Gullah food. Your video makes me want to call in sick to work and hit the road to Edisto Beach. The Low Country is Heaven, Brother Mark!
Hi! My family is from SC too and moved to Up State NY. I know he enjoyed that food.
EDISTO!!!
Chucktown here and yes we are the real deal when it comes to soul food !!! #GullahGeechee
I grew up in Walterboro! Live in Charleston now though! Love the Low Country!!!!
BRO!!!!! I'm born and raised in Chucktown and I'm so happy that whoever recommended these stops sent you to the real city spots. Most of these food shows/TH-camrs go to the tourist traps. My friend you are eating 100 percent authentic Black/African Charleston food. Everything you ate I grew up on. Much respect. I wish I knew you were in town, I would've stopped by and given you your props. Come back anytime
My mother was from South Carolina and everything you’re eating was a part of my childhood. Red rice and the okra and tomatoes I really thought my mother made those up because none of my friends ate them. I miss my mother.
My parents are from SC. I don't like okra and tomatoes, but my daughter does. It is a love or hate dish.
@@CynM. I love the way my mom made it. Her recipe left with her in 1989. And I regret not learning it along with her red rice.
This is true with me as well, my mom born & raised in SC.. I myself born & raised in NY.. growing up she made everything I seen here. I especially love that damn red rice & sausages!!😋😋
I love how Mark goes to every country and truly enjoy the food and the culture, he always makes me so hungry .
My homeee! This is awesome seeing a video about Charleston. I am from Addis, Ethiopia and was adopted and I have watched all your videos about Ethiopia and now seeing you do Charleston is just amazing! My heart is so happy :) I hope you had an amazing visit!
Marcus Samuelsson, chef Ethiopian born adopted Swedish chef! Foodie heaven! ❤❤❤ I think he lives NYC now… I want to visit his restaurant
There's nothing more fun than following you around on these tours! Love seeing the world through your eyes!
them crazy eyes...
Thank you Mark for this feature. It means a lot to my folks!
Have you been here? Their food looks amazing!!!
Ain’t nothing like some down south garlic blue crabs! ♥️
Wow, this food tour focusing on Gullah Geechee and soul food sounds absolutely amazing! The Gullah Geechee people have done a remarkable job preserving their West African culture, especially along the coast of the Carolinas. From their traditions to music and heritage, they have also managed to preserve their unique and delicious cuisine.
I can already imagine the mouthwatering home-cooked food you'll be enjoying on this tour. From okra and stews to fried chicken and pigtail, every dish promises to be a delightful treat for the taste buds. And let's not forget about the rice and garlic crabs, which are sure to add even more flavor to the experience.
I'm thrilled that you'll be sharing your food adventure through this video. It's a fantastic opportunity for us to vicariously enjoy all the delicious dishes and get a glimpse into the rich culinary traditions of the Gullah Geechee people. Bon appétit!
Hey Mark, could you make a top 5 or top 10 of the best meals you ate since you started your channel??? I bet most of your viewers would be very curious to know that!!!
Mark does not do "hate"
@@mrn13😅
Exactly! Appears he has to like everything to satisfy business owners. If he told the truth people wont invite him to record... big reason why I think.
Remind me to NOT visit a place like "Hannibal's", where they are so "QUANG", they wouldn't go out of there way to seat Mark and his family nor be on camera. 😡
@@RedEye3this is not so. He once said that if he doesn’t like a place he just doesn’t post it. That’s why you only see the places he likes.
Mark, this video was terrific. Not only because that's where my family is from, but the way you enjoyed the food made it like I was almost there tasting it too.
Every time I tune in, I know I'm leaving hungry! 🤣 Great video Mark!
Same!! If I watched his vids right before lunchtime, I'd be 'bout Tree-Fitty!! 😳😆
Mark, thanks for stopping by S.C. to show the world some of the tasty Gullah foods. Enjoyed the segment and will visit when I'm in the area. Hello Micah and Ying!!
Micah such a lucky kid traveling the world and tasting the best foods God bless you mark and your family
Mark, thank you for showcasing the awesome food we have in South Carolina. Especially, the Low Country and bringing awareness to the Gullah Geechee food culture. It's nothing like it in the entire country and I could tell that you enjoyed every bite of it. You'll be back!!!
There's food like this in other places. This is absolutely not the only place that has it.
@@Samantha.86 you're tripping!!! These flavors are indicative of the freshness and supreme quality that coastal SC has. Every dish eaten on this episode is always imitated and never duplicated. Even the rice is special to the region. What other state grows rice??? I'll wait!!!!
Arkansas is the largest rice producing state in the US. We produce far more than any other state.
@@jarodlee442 true, but the Country was initially built using SC rice. It was used as currency. The slave market was in favor of rice and was one of the initialized crops. It has heirloom rices from Africa that can't be duplicated by texture, flavor and uniqueness anywhere. The secret??? Low Country rice were grown in brackish waters right of the coast making them preseasoned with sea salt. Arkansas can't and will never replicate that.
@@Samantha.86 yeah because the foodways come from SC. Most people don’t know that most dishes like seafood boils, which we call frogmore stew in SC, shrimp and grits, red rice and so on originate from here and eventually they spread to other places. But to his point, it’s nothing like it here. So authentic.
As a native, great job on your choices. The restaurants you’ve visited so far are true local favorites. Y’all researched well. If you need any recommendations on tours, or literature on the culture I’ll be happy to oblige. Thanks.
lol i said the same thing... usually dont see ppl going to actual local spots. Def did some hw
Thanks! I can collaborate with you as well. SC and West Africa.
Many a time he bumps into local folk who recognize him and they offer him recommendations. Just like in one of his Laos vids a dude kept poking his face into the camera and said "I know you!" Next thing you know he is in the vid with Mark next day at a recommended food joint.
Could you please recommend some tours?
I must try this food. I do have friends and family in SC 😂
I love Mark’s videos in the US - there’s just something so special and beautiful about the content he makes when he’s here. The Carolinas are a must visit for every American, you’ve never had better food than in the south.
What do you recommend?
@@rubysangel5180 if I'm making one recommendation - it's Charleston - and visiting the islands off of Charleston and south. You must try the local soul food and seafoods, and specialty things like "she-crab soup." Do yourself a favor and drive, from Charleston to Savannah. Places like Seabrook, John's island, Kiawah, Folly, Edisto, and all the way down to Tybee Island in Georgia. It's 3-4 hours of slow driving, and you can almost pick any place to eat and you will be happy.
I recommend driving along this route because it's so incredibly gorgeous and there's nowhere else on earth like it. You can take 2-3 days to make this drive, see the sights, and eat and you'll be so glad you did.
What a life your son is getting to experience following his dad around the world, learning about history, culture, people, foods… does Micah speak multiple languages like you?
I told my husband I was jealous of Micah... He's been everywhere and eating good to😂😂
Is Micah don't go to school?
Eating leftovers, no thanks lol
@@brainium4219you need to humble yourself. You're too important for leftovers huh
너무 좋은 영상을 공유해 주셔서 정말 감사드립니다.
앞으로도 자주 찾아 뵐께요.
항상 응원합니다 :)
즐거운 하루되세요~~^^
Mark is a Foody Legend - It never fails to watch him and leave hungry. I would love to see you in NYC again
💯💯💯
Umm yeah. No Mas new yuck.
Yes, Gullah culture and food is amazing. South Carolina is one of top 5 best food destinations in the states. Thanks for showcasing it. 😋
Omg I saw this video and without fail I KNEW the exact spot he was at. Can confirm that garlic crab is AMAZING
Yep, but remind me to NEVER visit a place like "Hannibal's", where they are so "QUANG", they wouldn't go out of there way to seat Mark and his family nor be on camera. 😡
I love Mark when he visits black owned businesses that dont get alot of exposure awesome brother!!! You should do an Atlanta soul food tour!!!!!
When your so excited about the dish you exclaim “OH NO! YES!” 😂 Love it 💜
when MY so excited???? MY?????
@@JohnRohobothWhy am I!!!
YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH SOME SEA FOOD 🥘🔥💯👍👌
Another amazing video . Never fails to get my appetite for adventure and food going! Love seeing you always supporting the small businesses & getting the word out . Some people only do over the top luxury places or buffets ,but we can count on you to show us the true meaning of soul food in any country or cuisine 🙏🙏💚
Yep. Him and Sonny from Best Ever Food Review Show are my two favs.
For vending machines and odd food places I like Dancing Bacons and EricSurf6. ✌🏻🥰
That fried chicken looks sooooooo good! The turkey wing is also intriguing, but I’m used to seeing them smothered in brown or yellow gravy with yellow rice 👀
Growing up, okra stew was with beef roast and cornbread.
I was surprised the rice with the fish looks like jollof!!!!! 🤌🏾
Yummmmm
One good thing about Mark's videos is that when he visits your home town, your country and tried foods that you have eaten, you can get an........."empathetic gauge" of how other people's food taste around the world. For instance when he had that fried shark, I also envision him eating Bake and Shark from Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹, which I know he loved.
This was a great vid, yet again...
OOHHH WOWWW!!!
The meals have great flavor and the texture color helps the meal,the crab, and the okra with sauce on white rice.there’s history in making great food and you know how to find the right balance in places to have a healthy delicious meal.
Thankyou Mark for visiting the hike . GULLAH GEECHEE proud.
I’m from Brazil and your videos makes my experience Learning English with TH-cam videos in English perfect
Next time I'm in S.C. visiting my family, I'm requesting they take me to visit these wonderful places so I can try all of these wonderful foods. Thanks Mark for visiting my late mother's birth state and highlighting the Gullah Geechie food culture.
I love that you bring your family with you to experience the different foods and cultures!
Certified Gold!!!!!!
Thank you for coming down south Mark. NC, SC an GA Coast have some of the best cooking around
Mark, I love every single video you do. I absolutely LOVE them.
Man, those garlic crabs 🦀 looked so good.We are Massive fans over at our house, Mark!
It’s so satisfying to see you eat with such enthusiasm and enjoyment. Thank you for your videos.
Mark, your videos are always a highlight of my day. I love seeing you explore different cuisines and share your experiences. Can't wait for your next video!
Three great recommendations! I love seeing people experience the food I grew up on. Nothin like authentic Lowcountry cooking. 🌴🌙
With my mother from Orangeburg SC...her side of the family introduce me to liver pudding at my early age of live...I tell u that stuff changed my life....all I want now at the age of 43 is pudding grits and eggs...
Well Mark: overall, those 3 stops were certainly a super foodie trip. Again, this is a unique cuisine pasted down thru generations located in SC & Georgia! I think my favorite dishes were the turkey leg & the the garlic crabs!
Bertha's food looks delicious 😋
I eat it once a week lol
Dudeeeeeeee... we miss you here in Brazil..... please... come back!!!!!! Greetings from Goías!!!!!!
I grew up there. I've only been back for a couple quick visits.
What I appreciate about this is that you're not going to the posh downtown tourist restaurants. You're going to places the locals go. Probably saving yourself a ton of cash too.
My guess is you're saving close to $30 a plate without missing any of the flavor of low country food.
Treating my self to a US food tour for my 40th 🤤
Mark you gotta make your way to Savannah and eat at Wilkes, also the Georgia white shrimp and low country boil and brunswick stew
Micha got the other side of life traveling and seeing different cultures. I got the side of playing with friends and family. Friends from childhood are a treasure that I'm still blessed to have. Pick your choice..
I love how you go to every corner of the world Mark and bring awareness to the African origins of American food culture. Kudos to you....don't stop what you're doing.
The food looks so Caribbean. I am sure everything is well seasoned and full of flavour. Well done Mark..
U meant carribean looks Gullah. 😂
@@beats4life971THAY PART 😅😂!!!
@@beats4life971 No she was right. The Caribbean came first. We had the slave trade first. The Europeans landed in the Carib in 1492 and landed in the US in the 1600's or so.
Carribean & gullah geechee Black Americans all come from Africa. So if anything & for a fact the food looks AFRICAN tf.
@charlottecamila2859 it's a mixed. when they landed in the Caribbean's they had no slaves. They Conquer the Indigenous. The frist slaves port was South carolina and virginia.
Makes my day to see a new video from Mark,the food looks amazing!! Safe travels to you and your family.
Can't wait for you to hit 10M, Mark!!!
I’m just stunned… the vibrancy of the tomatoes… the crispy and juiciness of the chicken… the creaminess of the macaroni and cheese… the fragrancy of the rice…
I never got my smell and taste back after Covid 3 years ago. Watching you enjoy all of these foods really is awesome to see. God Bless you and your family Mark.
Covid lol
@@careyscates3516 You laugh over Covid? Really? My brother died of Covid, he was 47 years of age. Left two young kids and a younger wife. Some fun, huh 😒
@@patriotzfinder he didn't, doesn't exist empty head
Smell and taste lost means your zinc and vitamin d levels are graveyard low.
Wow amazing place to visit, thank you so much for sharing
Wow,that's the food I grew up eating. I know those places . I love Lima beans and rice! Good job Mark! Thanks for visiting my home.
I LOVE all of your videos! I’m always drooling! Lol. And I truly live vicariously through your eyes when you travel abroad to different countries. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I was so excited to see you featured Hannibal's!! I lived directly across the street in the apartments you can catch a glimpse of. So happy to see that they have revamped and are still thriving. I went here at least 3-5x a week when I was there and everyone was always so warm and welcoming.
Wow every time i watch your videos i also learned a lot of each counties traditional food. Its amazing
Hi Mark, I watched every episodes of your Peru food tours when I was preparing my Peru trip. I wrote down pages of notes and information about different ‘must try’ food items from your show. Due to Covid travel restrictions, my trip was canceled. When restrictions are lifted, I went to Tahiti instead because Peru was experiencing political instability, not safe to visit. I really enjoy watching your appreciation of food, make eating a piece of dry lumber seemed so tasty.
I get so hungry watching all your videos! I love eating amazing soul food, especially seafood!
Mark your videos are the best for culture & food combined ! Your bright personality is second to none, best wishes for you and your family.
Letsss goooo Mark!! 843!! Charleston Stand up!!
Wow, I just love this channel.... southern food is so good albeit I grew up in the Great Northwest (San Francisco, & Oregon), and I've been exposed to a variety of different foods.
I was introduced to this channel by a friend about 2 yrs ago.
Good stuff Mark never a boring video!
Thank you for sharing the mysteries of the Gullah people!
Great food,good people , laughter is brightest in the place where food is good 👍
Mark one of my favorite times to watch you videos is when I'm eating. I often wish I'm eating what you are eating on your trips. I am loving watching this amazing food! I take the red rice and fish!!!
Mark oozes niceness and more human behavior than many humans
Finally seeing Marc's videos within top 10 views. 😂 one bucket list checked. 😅
Sorry to break it to you but you being 2 minutes late to the drop makes you probably number 500
11:21 simply the lima beans...lol nothing simply youre in for a treat...:)
I love when you do videos in my neck of the woods. It's great to find places like these to try out.
Hi Mark and Family
The food looks amazing and a great place to visit and try delicious food. Thank you for sharing 👍
I love that you were in my home state very interesting to learn the different parts. South Carolina has to offer. Keep up the good work Mark.
Great video Mark keep them coming glad your back in the US.
Thank you for representing my home States Seafood well. Love your show!
Awesome job mark with the food vlog
Wow! Great to see you in my backyard Mark glad you enjoyed your time down here !
I am having a amazing day specially after watching your videos thanks for the joy been going through really tough time 😢
Pro move how Mark decided to sit hanging out the side of the car. Avoided the sun and the picture quality was sick. Mark is a seasoned pro and you see it with every pre editing and post editing decisions he makes. Props
The garlic crabs looks darn delicious
Mark has had a special place in my heart for at least the past 5 years. The only thing I am consistently questioning myself is: when Mark is eating and giving the amazing food reviews, are Mark’s wife and son waiting for him to finish before starting to eat or do they get their own food?
They get their own food. I've seen a few vid clips of them eating along with him. She usually holds the phone on a tripod
Nah they just get his leftover scraps. Sometimes it's even enough for them too eat.
But Mark is a big eater so sometimes they go to bed hungry.
@@OneOut1 🤣🤣🤣
It’s amazing how everything he eats is so good I’ve seen many channels and they tell the truth about the food they eat but all of his channels the food is so good?
Amazing video and the food is extra special!😀
Beautiful finds. Great food traditions and living history.
Love charleston, thank you mark great video
Great now i’m craving for some crabs and red rice
My family and I were just in Charleston 2wks ago and went to Hannibals. We all had the crab rice and it was fantastic!
The last combo looks like a fav and hats off for highlighting this culture there
Very interesting video. I knew nothing about this style of food before watching this but it looks great. The music was good too.
Looked absolutely amazing!! ALL of it!
Thx you Mark for all the videos. I have learned so much from you. Again Thx you
It is really mega food tour.
Big thank and further success 🙏🍀🍀🍀
I prefer soft shell crab. You can make it into a hoagie or just eat it with a little bit of lemon.
the first place actually looking very delicious and genuine
Welcome to South Carolina Mark, so good have you! Blessings!
All that looks good plus I need those crabs in that garlic n butter sauce 👏😋
South Carolina is my father’s home land I am Geehee. These are the food of my family. My father was a chef and an amazing cook! Thank you for sharing !
Seafood food yum yum u are really excited and enjoy your time. God bless always and safe travels.🙏
