The Wrap

From the editor

I have a favor to ask, Greenville. My friend Stephanie Burnette (also known as @eatdrinkcarolinas) is looking for some help.

Big Dave’s All-American BBQ was on her eater list of “18 Essential Greenville, South Carolina, Restaurants.” After the restaurant closed last month, she asked me to ask you — our amazing + engaged audience — what local barbecue spot you think should replace it on the list. Submit your favorite barbecue joints.

While submitting won’t guarantee your favorite spot makes the list, it will be taken under serious consideration.
