🎄 Christmas Food Showdown in Charleston: Husk vs. Oku

Spent the Christmas holiday in Charleston and got caught in the rain – but the food still shined! On Christmas Eve, only a few spots were open – we chose Oku, a popular Japanese restaurant. I’d also been eager to try Husk – and snagged a reservation for the 26th. 🌟 Husk Cuisine: Southern American, using fresh local ingredients. Rich, layered flavors! Highlights: 🍖 Beef – perfectly grilled, deeply savory. 🐟 Wreckfish – an appetizer with a unique preparation and a hint of mint. Tender and aromatic. 🧡 Perfect for those who love rustic, flavorful Southern dishes with a gourmet twist! 🌊 Oku Vibe: Cozy and festive, even on a rainy Christmas Eve. Highlights: 🍣 Bluefin Tuna Otoro – rich, buttery, melts in your mouth. 🌊 Uni (Sea Urchin) – creamy, though a bit heavy for some tastes. 🥩 A5 Wagyu Sushi – absolutely divine! Smoked raw beef topped with caviar – a dream for smoke and meat lovers. 💙 Ideal for those craving fresh, refined Japanese flavors. Verdict: Love Southern charm & bold flavors? Go to Husk! 🌽 Prefer fresh, delicate Japanese fare? Choose Oku! 🍣 #CharlestonEats #Husk #Oku #FoodShowdown #SouthernFood #SushiLovers #ChristmasInCharleston #HolidayDining #FoodieReview #WinterTravel
