When I go to Local Dish, I'm instantly transported to the Hominy Grill in Charleston, one of my favorite restaurants. Local Dish features similar butcher paper-covered tables, gourmet Southern cuisine, and did I mention the fun cocktails? It's no-frills and doesn't deck itself like a Cracker Barrel. By not trying to be something it isn't, it's an awesome place. There's a homey feel from the front door down to the dishes, with washcloths as napkins and attentive servers. They won't be telling you stories all night, but if you ask for a hot sauce, they'll ask what kind and bring over every kind they have from down-the-street Pucker Butt over to the table.\n\nI highly recommend the Bacon Old-Fashioned, a potent concoction of bacon-infused bourbon, orange slice, bitters, and club soda. And the perfect start to Local Dish's cuisine.\n\nThe cuisine is creative with Southern-style dishes. Boiled peanut hummus, Pimento cheese fondue, and chili-oil scallops are all great, prepared well, and are a delight to eat. This delicious approach goes all the way to dessert, where I had trouble putting down the Krispy Kreme bread pudding. It's fusion food I can get behind.\n\nThis is a wonderful addition to Main Street, Fort Mill. In between all of the antique shops and crumbling bricks, it's great to see a fresh-minded and fun place like Local Dish.
