Mike Hebb is an enthusiastic and passionate speaker! - The memories of meals with friends and family are part of our DNA. Mike Hebb reminds us of this in these wonderful dinners. I enthusiastically recommend this dinner as a key Charleston experience. This review comes from someone who has been visiting Charleston since the mid-'90s and had a 35 year career in the wine and food business!

A Must Do Experience - An ingenious idea brought to life by a passionate professional. We can’t recommend this unique experience highly enough. 5-star, rave reviews all around! Mike puts his heart and soul into it and it shows. Outstanding food, exceptional presentation of history, getting to privately browse through the Historical Society Museum in the Fireproof Building and more…an evening that exceeded our expectations. Well worth it! A must do experience.

Delicious historical meal seasoned with history. - The dinner took Place at the Charleston historical museum. The host, John, greeted us dressed in period costume. He regaled us with history of the Charleston area, from early land grants to the late 19th century. He explained the history of our meal, the first cookbook author, a woman, and the meaning of our china and Madeira wine. John changes up the meals and history -I would go again!!!

Every dish has a story - This is a dining experience like no other - it's a performance! The gracious and well-informed host took us on a journey - in our case it was mid-nineteenth century Charleston. We learned not just about the food we ate but about the social circumstances that might have produced such a menu. Be prepared for seasonings and presentations that aren't necessarily common in modern American cooking. Each dish has a story! Plus, the museum where the event takes place is fascinating - arrive as early as possible to take that in before dinner.
