This month, Slightly North of Broad Executive Sous Chef Megan Hutchinson is sharing her recipe for a strawberry benne seed waffle. Ripe local strawberries are combined with fluffy batter and benne seeds and topped with warm maple syrup and a splash (or two) of bourbon. Megan doesn’t skimp on a scoop of vanilla ice cream, too.

In Columbia this morning, Charleston County’s financial advisor, attorney and Chairman Elliott Summey presented the county’s plans to fund its portion of the extension of I-526, primarily using revenue from the 2004 and 2016 half-cent sales taxes.
