March is Women’s History Month, and though I am quick to highlight women like Eugenia Duke, who made history in the past, I also want to spotlight the women making an impact in Greenville now that will last well into the future.
Nominations opened yesterday, and we’ll be spotlighting some of your picks throughout the month — so, keep them coming.

When you dine at a Table 301 restaurant, you’re experiencing a world that Katie had a heavy hand in crafting. As the Creative Director, she made decisions like the plate you’re eating from, the font on the menu, and the materials surrounding you to create the ambiance you enjoy when you go out to eat.
Last night was the “Top Chef: Carolinas”red orange carpet premiere in Charlotte, and I can’t believe I was there. I got your questions to the judges, and I even got to see the very first episode before it airs on Bravo next Monday, March 9, at 9 p.m. You can watch it now, too, with an exclusive early season premiere available now on Peacock.
It was a late night, so I’m only leaving you with a quick photo collage for now. Be on the lookout for a full recap of the event tomorrow morning.
From seeing the judges and Cheftestants on the carpet to walking it with some of Greenville’s best (like Khailing Neoh and Vickie Zambrano), it was an unforgettable night.
