Each year, Greenville, South Carolina throws one hell of a food festival. Since the host town is home to Michelin headquarters, Euphoria Greenville brings in Michelin-starred chefs to cook for guests who attend the highest-priced (and long sold-out) dinner. But the weekend of tastings, dinners, and celebration also draws some great chefs from our own town.

Here’s a list of chefs from Charlotte who will be cooking at Euphoria this year, and where to find them. The event takes place Sept. 20-23; you can purchase tickets for a single dinner or the entire event here.

Songwriters discuss their work and the stories behind their songs, while chefs provide savory and dessert bites.
