November: These 5 Greenville restaurants earned nods in the Michelin’s inaugural American South Guide
No surprise here that Scoundrel’s Star and the other restaurants that landed in the guide were your favorite story of November.

It’s official. Greenville is in the Michelin Guide for the first time in history. The inaugural American South Guide was unveiled at the Peace Center last night.

Scoundrel was the city’s only restaurant to earn a star — one star means it’s “Worth a stop.”

“It’s the hottest table in town, and reservations are a must, though seats at the bar feel far from a consolation prize,” Michelin’s news release says about the Main Street spot.

There are other ways to earn a mention in the guide, and four other local restaurants (and one Charleston spot with a Greenville location) did just that.
Who earned what?

54%. That’s how many US adults say they consume alcohol, the lowest percentage ever in a 90-year trend according to Gallup.

If you’re looking for alternatives to booze, Carolinas-based hemp brand Naternal has a solution. Naternal’s THC beverages offer a satisfying experience, with zero hangover.

Naternal is based in Raleigh and makes their seltzers in Boone, blending expert beverage-making techniques from WNC’s rich brewing history with cannabis science.

Not sure what to expect? Naternal’s THC seltzers contain:

  • 5 mg of THC
  • Only 40 calories
  • Zero artificial sweeteners

A relatively low level of THC in each can makes it easy to stay in your comfort zone. Naternal recommends starting with one and taking it slow.

Pro tip: Use code RELAX30 to try THC seltzers at 30% off.

Naternal also makes gummies, drops, and creams, all designed with different benefits in mind and varying CBD + THC concentrations to customize your experience.
