Devereaux's
Chef Steven Devereaux Greene, executive chef and partner of Devereaux’s on Court Street, has packed what some would consider a lifetime of experience in a little more than ten years. Just as soon as he could secure working papers at the age of sixteen, he was employed by Marigold Market under French chef Pascal Hurtebize, who would eventually advise him to pursue his dream career.

American Grocery
American Grocery’s unassuming, dove-colored façade tucked into Greenville’s West End is easy to miss. Be sure to look for it, though. The owners, two pairs of husbands and wives, make up a triumvirate of chefs, plus a master sommelier, who are putting a fresh spin on inventive cuisine using only local ingredients to stay true to their name and their mission: fresh food, purveyed locally.

Rick Erwin's
In Rick Erwin’s eponymous steak house, all dark paneled walls and glinting crystal wine goblets, twenty-nine-year-old executive chef Jason McCarthy has not only found his calling, but returned home. A Greenville native (Eastside High class of ’98), Jason says he was always in the kitchen watching his grandmother. "One of the first things I learned how to cook was eggs and pancakes."

High Cotton
Having come from a family with a passion for food and cooking, Georgia-born Anthony Gray, the executive chef of High Cotton in both Greenville and Charleston, has been making a stir in the kitchen since he was a child. “I inherited twelve cast iron pans from my grandfather. After forty years of cooking they are perfectly seasoned, and I know how much love went into those pans.”
