Butcher & Bee opened in Charleston in 2011 with the mission of serving honest-to-goodness sandwiches made with flavor combinations and food quality usually reserved for fine dining. That dream has since grown beyond sandwiches: B&B opened The Daily in 2014, a modern bodega serving locallly roasted coffee, cold-pressed juice, wine & beer, breakfast, lunch and grab-and-go provisions; Butcher & Bee Nashville, an expanded version of the original, opened in late 2015. Having outgrown it’s original space, Butcher & Bee moved to a bigger location in 2016, offering a larger, more diverse, vegetable-forward Middle Eastern leaning menu for lunch, brunch and dinner. Naturally leavened breads, pita and pastries are baked in-house daily and served at both Butcher & Bee and The Daily. In 2017, Butcher & Bee opened Workshop, a fancy food hall featuring a rotating lineup of chefs and concepts on the Upper Peninsula, and a second location of The Daily at the newly renovated Gibbes Museum in downtown Charleston. In 2019, owner Michael Shemtov and chef/partner Bryan Lee Weaver will open Tex Mex breakfast taco spot Redheaded Stranger in East Nashville.

From the team behind FIG Restaurant, James Beard Award Winning Chef Mike Lata and Adam Nemirow opened The Ordinary in December 2012. A Southern seafood hall & oyster bar located in an old bank in the heart of downtown Charleston, SC. Our menu celebrates the “merroir” of the Coastal Carolinas and the East Coast, and we strive to support local and regional fishermen, crabbers, oystermen, farmers and producers. Our approach is recognizable: we aim to pair great food with great drink and friendly, detailed service. At The Ordinary, we do so against the backdrop of an historical Charleston building that has been preserved and transformed into a high energy, bustling American brasserie.
