Soby’s New South Cuisine (207 S. Main St.) celebrated 25 years of business this week. We sat down with owner + restaurateur Carl Sobocinski for 10 questions about his vision, his latest concept + his favorite things to do in Greenville. We also asked for your Soby’s stories, and you delivered.
Open
Tomorrow, Fri., Nov. 11 will be a gouda day, because The Cheese Wheel (1441 Augusta St.) celebrates its grand opening from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. We got a sneak peek of the cheesy goodness + shared what you can expect when you go shopping for your next charcuterie board. 🧀
