Chef Russell said she was happy to collaborate with the Charleston restaurant.

“We’ve known and have been cooking with Chef Howells for a long time,” said Chef Russell. “He brought this event to us and we felt everything about it lined up with the types of things Garrett and I want to be a part of. And we got to create one of the most playful event menus we’ve ever done. It’s an incredible collaboration that really showcases each of our personalities.”
