Cru Cafe - Charleston, SC: "Go for lunch and order the Shrimp BLT" - that's what a local told me when I asked her where I should go on our last day in Charleston. I made reservations on OpenTable and was glad I did since people were being turned away when we were seated at 12:30pm on a weekday. We were offered two seats at the kitchen window and loved seeing how this fabulous little kitchen cranks out amazing dishes one after the other. If you are a cook or a foodie, ask for these seats!
We followed the advice we were given and ordered the shrimp BLT for $10 which came with our choice of mashed potatoes, fresh fruit, French fries, Asian slaw or salad. The country bread was lightly toasted, smeared with sauce, topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato, warm grilled shrimp and pepper jack cheese - yes, you read that right! It may sound like an odd combination, but it's that combination that makes it all come together to give you one of the best sandwiches on the planet! There were a few other tempting items on the menu and the dinner choices online looked great too, but follow the advice I was given - get the shrimp BLT! Total bill before tip for two shrimp BLTs, one beer and one iced tea was $29. Cru Café is a winner in my book!
