    Charlotte chefs head to Greenville food festival

    Here’s where to find local chefs at Euphoria


    by Kristen Wile

    Each year in Greenville, South Carolina, a food festival gathers some of the Southeast’s top culinary talent for a weekend of tastings, dinners, and music. Thanks to the city being home to Michelin’s North American headquarters, a number of Michelin-starred chefs join the event. As well as Euphoria Greenville becoming a destination for food-lovers, it’s also become a destination for Charlotte chefs.
