FIG is a modern American restaurant located in Charleston, South Carolina.[1] The name is an acronym for "Food Is Good." [2] The restaurant was established in April 2003 by Mark Lata and partner Adam Nemirow in the heart of Downtown Charleston. [3] FIG is known for its elevated take on Southern classics with seasonal ingredients served in an upscale-bistro setting.[4]
Background:[edit]
Mike Lata and Adam Nemirow signed the lease for FIG on Dec. 31, 2002. [5] Five months later, in April 2003, FIG opened in the single-story space at the corner of Meeting and Hasell streets. [6]
Lata and Nemirow met while working together at Anson Restaurant,[7] and reconnected a few years later when they decided to open FIG together. The goal of FIG's menu is to serve local ingredients, with French-influenced cooking, using seasonality and paying homage to European farmhouse cooking.[8]
Awards:[edit]
FIG is a three-time James Beard Foundation award-winning restaurant. In 2009 and 2015,[9] FIG won a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southeast.[10] In 2018, FIG won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program. [11]
