Every year, South Carolina's hospitality industry holds a legislative luncheon unlike any other event on the General Assembly's social calendar— a Taste of South Carolina featuring restaurants from all across the state serving a taste of their menu specialties. Legislators are all raves about the quality and selection of foods and the extremely large and friendly industry turnout. We hope you will join us for this memorable event in the future! resources
