Michelin-starred chef Daniel Humm is shaking up Charleston’s dining scene this fall with a yearlong pop-up at the Charleston Grill.
Humm, the chef-owner of New York’s acclaimed Eleven Madison Park, will bring his vision south for 12 months of inventive dining.
The collaboration, “Chef Daniel Humm x The Charleston Place, Presented by Resy,” debuts Oct. 2.
“This project represents more than a collaboration, it’s a shared commitment to bringing people together through the language of food,” Humm said in a press release. “Charleston’s connection to the land and sea, and its culinary traditions—from its native ingredients and historic role in maritime trade to its abundant local farms and fisheries—offer so much to learn from. I’m excited to spend time here, connect with the community, and grow through the experience.”
The menu will highlight seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, paired with wine selections and a curated cocktail program.
A five-course fixed-price menu, available for $135 per person lets diners select one dish per course.
Starters include radish carpaccio with apple and daikon, black bass crudo with sorrel and finger lime and a tomato cocktail with olive bread. Entrées feature ricotta gnudi with Parmesan and black truffle, butter-poached lobster with squash and lemongrass, roasted black cod with kale and miso, celery root schnitzel with fennel and black truffle and a whole roasted chicken for two. Desserts include a milk-and-honey baked Alaska for the table and a chocolate soufflé.
The pop-up follows the Aug. 23 closing of Charleston Grill, a fine-dining landmark inside The Charleston Place, anchoring downtown since 1989.
The move is marking a new chapter for The Charleston Place, which has been owned by Ben Navarro’s Beemok Hospitality Collection since 2021. The closure paves the way for a broader transformation of the hotel’s food and beverage offerings.
“This partnership celebrates what makes hospitality so powerful–bringing people together through extraordinary experiences,” BHC President Casey Lavin said in a press release. “Chef Humm’s curiosity to learn and immerse himself in culture, paired with his humble and thoughtful culinary approach, make this collaboration especially meaningful.”
While a new permanent dining concept is still in the works for the former Charleston Grill, guests can look forward to Humm’s debut in the Lowcountry.
Resy began taking reservations on Sept. 2, and diners can book their spots now. For updates, visit The Charleston Place website.
