If you’re a sucker for bivalves, this one’s for you. Nothing connects you to the essence of the sea like an oyster. The oyster men (and women) of Barrier Island Oyster Company bring the clean, salty taste of Charleston’s Lowcountry waterways from the river to the table. It’s called merroir, the "sense of place" created by the unique combination of salt, grasses, phytoplankton and other nutrients flowing through the water where the shellfish live and thrive. Chef Charlie Layton loves the ocean. In 2022, he and his boss, chef and Basic Projects restaurateur Ben Towill (who’s cooked with OITF several times) rowed 3000 miles from the Canary Islands to Antigua as competitors in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge - a six week voyage dubbed the world’s toughest row. (They both lost 20+ pounds) At the helm of Basic Kitchen since 2018, Charlie’s menus feature seasonal and simply delightful dishes that focus on a rainbow of ingredients.
