In a city like Charleston, where dining is a key element of its identity, how restaurants are doing is important. We know that 2020 was a devastating year for local restaurants. 2021 — year two of the COVID-19 pandemic — brought its own challenges, even when diners returned. Restaurant owners have had to contend with staff shortages, supply chain difficulties, construction delays and price increases that made operating a daily struggle.Despite those challenges, many Charleston restaurant owners say they're optimistic about the year ahead.This week on the podcast, you'll hear from two of them.Maryam Ghaznavi and Raheel Gauba are owners of Ma'am Saab, which will be opening soon in downtown Charleston, and Malika in Mount Pleasant. The husband-and-wife entrepreneurs have grown their business from scratch during the pandemic. After launching Pakistani pop-up Ma'am Saab as a meal delivery service during the pandemic, they landed a stall in the now-closed food court Workshop. Last year, they announced plans to open a Ma'am Saab brick-and-mortar location in downtown Charleston. Not long after, they debuted another restaurant, Malika, in Mount Pleasant Towne Centre. They spoke with food and dining editor Parker Milner about their experiences as restaurant owners during the pandemic, the desire and appreciation for new cuisine in Charleston and hopes for the future of the city's food scene. This episode originally published Jan. 20, 2022.Related coverage:Charleston chefs predict dining trends, suggest industry changes for 2022Staff shortages persist at SC restaurants as COVID surges.

The restaurant review has long been part of The Post and Courier's food section, but the coronavirus pandemic led us — along with newspapers nationwide — to temporarily suspend that section of the paper.Recently, in March, The Post and Courier brought back its restaurant reviews. Moving forward, readers can expect to find a review inside the Food & Dining section twice a month. This week, we peek behind the curtain with help from The Post and Courier's new contributing critic, Robert Moss. He shared how he approaches a review, what stood out to him the most from the first two restaurants he reviewed and why he thinks this isn't the time for assigning star ratings to new restaurants.Moss is the Contributing Barbecue Editor for Southern Living and the author of five books on food and beverage history. His most recent, "The Lost Southern Chefs," was published in February by University of Georgia Press. Moss has contributed to several South Carolina publications including the Charleston City Paper, where he wrote restaurant reviews for years. More coverage:Review: Brasserie la Banque shines brightest with bold twists on classic brasserie fareReview: Laurel reflects the shift in our new generation of neighborhood bistrosThis episode was hosted by Parker Milner and edited and produced by Emily Williams.Understand SC is a weekly podcast from The Post and Courier that draws from the reporting resources and knowledge of our newsroom to help you better understand South Carolina. Are there any stories you'd like to hear on the show?

I typically use Google Maps. Now you may ask how can you use Google Maps without connectivity? You simply have to download the Aruba section from the map prior to losing connectivity. Once you do that, you have basic lead directions for a period of 30 or 90 days before you have to re-download the map. I use it all the time and it has never failed me.   If you want to be a co-host of this show or simply want to relay feedback, please do send me an email at curt@onehappypodcast.com, message me on Facebook, drop a voice message on our hotline number (302) 635-0815.

While planning for a WDW vacation is exciting and magical, it also can be stressful and burdensome, especially for first-timers who aren't sure which added expenses are worth the cost and which are unnecessary. While there is no "right" answer when it comes to money and Disney, on this week's episode we discuss five optional add-ons and give our two cents on whether or not they are worth the cost: 1. Park Hopper 2. Disney Resorts 3. Food (Dining plan, table service, etc.) 4. Dessert Parties and Dining Packages 5. Memory Maker Also on this week's show, we share some of our favorite hidden gems in the segment "It's the Small Things, After All." Plus, we have some friendly debates on topics such as sweet treats, theming at quick service restaurants, and WDW's best mountains. Come join the fun!
