"Many of the town's classicists continue to turn out their classics, of course. The food-mad pilgrim can still revel in Bob Waggoner's authentic, brightly spiced Frogmore Stew (a Lowcountry witch's brew that includes shrimp, crab, corn and sausage) at the Charleston Grill."

"Its four-sectioned menu may tempt you to go cosmopolitan with escargot or lacquered duck breast, but the Southern selection — tomato pie, Frogmore stew, Palmetto squab with butter beans — takes local classics uptown in splendid style."

"Renowned chef Bob Waggoner artfully presents each course and creates amazing gumbo-like Frogmore Stew's Charleston Place Hotel."
