Stop by FIG...he's knocking on the door of the chefs you mentioned...and btw, Tony Bordain is great food personality, but he's not an extraordinary chef...Les Halles is a very run-of-the-mill restaurant in NY. And finally, did the author of the article not say that "run of the mill" folks were allowed in the party? Charlie is a mag for Charlestonians of all sorts, but if you're going to call yourself such then get in the game!

The who-is-who is never described or elaborated on, and to be honest, it leaves newby Charlestonians feeling very left out. I'd love to see a bit more context -- like, for example, explaining who Mike Lata is. It's not like he's Thomas Keller or Mario Batali or Tony Bordain. Charlie is here to express what is beautiful about Charleston to everyone -- keep it that way! It shouldn't just be for foodie insiders -- expanding the world is what makes the world better. Why not let the rest of us who are interested, and who support the publication, into the loop? Why is it that this article feels so elitist?
