Lowcountry Luncheon in New York City

On March 16, 2017, Garden & Gun partnered with Explore Charleston to host an intimate group of friends in New York City to celebrate Charleston, South Carolina, and toast ten years of the magazine. Chef Mike Lata of FIG and The Ordinary prepared an extraordinary lunch at Prune Restaurant using the flavors of his Charleston hometown.
