"The award for resourcefulness should be bestowed on Mike Lata of FIG, or Food Is Good (232 Meeting St.; 843/805-5900), who has breathed new life into Charleston’s culinary scene by keeping the focus on regional preparations while choosing often overlooked local ingredients. Lata’s nuanced selection of menu items is just part of the reason he and his laid-back Southern brasserie won the James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef: Southeast award last year."
