*Charleston’s rich culinary heritage takes center stage in this week’s episode of “City Eats: Charleston,” and EURweb has an exclusive first look at one of the featured restaurants.
Hosted by celebrity chef G. Garvin, the aspireTV series continues its tour of the city’s diverse food scene with a visit to 39 Rue de Jean, a French-inspired brasserie where classic European cooking is blended with the traditions of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, per the news release.
In the exclusive clip, viewers meet Chef Letha McClary, whose menu reflects both her culinary training and her family history. While dishes like coq au vin and chicken francaise showcase French technique, McClary says some of her greatest inspiration comes from memories of her grandmother’s red rice, bringing generations of Southern tradition into the restaurant’s kitchen.
The result is a dining experience that bridges cultures, pairing French flavors with the comfort and storytelling found in Lowcountry cuisine. At 39 Rue de Jean, every plate reflects a connection between heritage and innovation.
