Hey Greenville, Stephanie + Danielle here. Between the two of us, we get the privilege of sharing the news with 198,060 readers daily — both through our newsletter + on social media.
We thought we should formally introduce ourselves. Consider this us going in for a fist bump, then switching to a handshake, then settling on a hug.
👻 Meet Stephanie
Q. Describe Greenville’s personality in three words.
A. Sheesh, only three? Okay I would say, “dynamic, friendly, and tasty.”
Q. If Greenville had one-specific dish, what would it be?
A. It would be a beautiful fusion of Soby’s
shrimp and grits in a Stecca bread bowl (which doesn’t yet exist...just throwing that out there) from the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery
.
Q. If you wrote a book about Greenville, what would you call it?
A. I’ve actually thought about this before. I would call it something like: “Greenville: The Best Small Big City in America,” or, “Greenville: Small-Town Feel with Big-City Vibes.”

A. Grabbed drinks at The Cocktail Company
and Coupe’s Corner

.
Q. Other than yourself, who would you consider to be the local expert about Greenville?
A. A three-parter:
- Ava Braatz’s Instagram bio is “Greenville’s hype girl” and I think it perfectly describes her.
- GVLgroupies aka Canon Mikes is a full-time teacher who is very plugged in to Greenville’s food scene and is a rising star.
- Ryan Johnston, our CEO at 6AM City, is always hitting me with Greenville facts I didn’t know.
Q. Fill in the blank: The coolest person I’ve met in Greenville is ___________.
A. I truly cannot pick just one:
- Khailing Neoh of Sum Bar is so cool.
- Interviewing Carl Sobocinski is a highlight for me. He’s done so much for our city.
- On the celebrity-front, I met Tyler Florence when he was in town for euphoria 2022. He confirmed he uses Duke’s Mayo, so we know he’s still a Greenvillian.
