Gavin Newsom in September 2023. That legislation also delivered fast-food employees one of their largest wage bumps ever, raising the minimum…

When you think of quintessential South Carolina foods what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I’m honestly not sure there is a truly SC dish.

But the experts at Southern Living actually named three dishes among the South’s most iconic. And…

(Some 35,000—including a handful of SAVEUR staffers—descend on the…
