Smoked Gouda Agnolotti
Chef Erica McCier’s Smoked Gouda Agnolotti is a fusion of cultures with a modern twist.

Discover the culinary delights of South Carolina's Old 96 District, where Southern-style dishes and locally sourced ingredients shine. Begin your journey at the Cambridge Chophouse at Inn on the Square in Greenwood. This elegant eatery offers a refined dining experience with a menu of steakhouse classics, from certified Angus beef steaks to crab cakes.

In Waterloo, Lee’s Barbecue is a no-frills spot attracting barbecue enthusiasts from all over. Known for its smoky ribs, tender pulled pork and signature sauces, the buffet always comes packed with flavorful meats and sides to fill your plate.

Chef Erica McCier
Since opening Indigenous Underground in 2021, Chef Erica McCier has been redefining the dining scene in Abbeville.

Head over to Edgefield to enjoy the homestyle charm of Christine’s Farm to Fork. Here, you’ll find a seasonal menu that celebrates the bounty of local farms. Dig into Southern classics like shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes.

Helmed by South Carolina Chef Ambassador Erica McCier, Indigenous Underground in Abbeville is a culinary gem that marries traditional Southern ingredients with creative execution. For dinner, order surprising dishes like Southern-style nachos (mixing Cajun corn and gooey queso) or pimento cheeseburgers. During Sunday brunch, indulge in over-the-top options such as the buttermilk fried chicken piled atop challah French toast.
