  • Presented by The Local Palate, the premier magazine of southern food culture.
    The Local Palate traveled to West Virginia to explore the unique culinary scene and cultural eats of this Southern mountain state. The journey began in the capital city of Charleston and continued on through Morgantown and Fayetteville, with necessary off-the-beaten-path stops along the way. In Charleston we dined in the East End neighborhood at the historic Bluegrass Kitchen and tried traditional West Virginia fare at the pool-hall turned restaurant, The Grill. We traveled up the winding curves of Bridge Road to dine at the contemporary restaurant South Hill Market & Cafe, tried chocolates, coffee, and handcut slabs of meat at the notable Capital Market, and winded down at Lola's Pizza for baked pies and sangria. Enjoy part one of West Virginia journey and follow us as we eat our way through beautiful Charleston, West Virginia.

    This is a VERY good video - so glad to see people putting together professional tourism videos for Charleston (something lacking in the past). I feel sad though when I think of "home". I'm in Georgia now and like many, left the state when the economy went bad (well, worse), and the drug and crime issues grew and healthcare quality got so much worse as well. There is so much potential there and I just really really wish that someday some outstanding people will rise up to truly lead the City to new things, and that the locals (that remain) will rise up and vote for those new leaders.

      NEBULA well Charleston cannot be half as bad as both Youngstown OH and Niagara Falls NY. I am not trying to deny that your home city doesnt have serious problems it is that it would be very hard to beat out both Youngstown and Niagara Falls on urban decline and disinvestment.

      No not bad. Just not a booming city like we were even in the 80's. Used to have to dodge people on the sidewalks, now you can walk block an your the only one using them...

      Find me a “poor” representative, bureaucrat or executive/judicial branch member there
      Hell, it’s sick with lawyers
      Considering the city wants to play at artsy coffee houses and fine dining, what wealth there is in WV seems to be on display at the capitol
      Of course the “little ppl” don’t matter there

    The buildings in the east end predate the capitol building? That's not that impressive--the capitol building only dates back to the 1920's. The previous on burned down. Charleston wasn't even the state's first capitol city--that was Wheeling.

      This is unfortunately almost true. I grew up on the West Side of Chas in the 1970s, and believe it or not, back then, it was a very desirable area to live in. Not today according to those I know who still live there. I did notice in this video the first restaurant (The Grill), had a solid steel door with steel bars that went across the two (raised) windows.

    Too bad you stayed in the northern parts of the state instead of coming to the south. We have way better food. Most is a spin on soul food.
