Episode 57: Charleston Wine + Food Festival Part 3: Final Days, Food Finds & Festival Favorites

In Episode 57 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, Angel Holmes and Brian take you behind the scenes for the final days of the Charleston Wine + Food Festival — and it is exactly as delicious, exhausting, and inspiring as you would hope. This wrap-up episode captures the energy of five full days in the Culinary Village through off-the-cuff chef interviews, barbecue nights, pop-up parties, and real conversations about food, community, and the dreams being built behind the scenes at The Holmestead Hideaway. Angel sits down with Chef Steven Devereaux Green of the acclaimed Umstead Hotel & Spa in Cary, North Carolina — a familiar Charleston face with a deep connection to the city's culinary roots. She also catches up with Jimmy Hagood of Food for the Southern Soul, one of the original legends who helped plant Charleston firmly on the culinary map. Between bites of Magnolia's mac and cheese, Cali's spicy chicken biscuit, and the best lager Brian may have ever tasted from Elliott Moss's tent, this episode is a love letter to Charleston's food scene and the people who built it. If you are a food lover, a Charleston local, a woman entrepreneur who knows that the best business conversations happen over a great meal, or someone who has been following The Holmestead journey — this episode will feel like you were right there with them. The "E" in BIGGIE stands for Elevate — and there is nothing like surrounding yourself with people who have built something real to remind you of what is possible for your own dreams.
