2026 Fresh on the Menu Cooking Stage Schedule — Southeastern Wildlife Expo
Friday, February 13 – Sunday, February 15, 2026
Join the Lee Brothers — Charleston natives Matt Lee and Ted Lee — as they host South Carolina chefs and farmers on stage throughout the weekend. Demonstrations feature recipe preparations and discussions about South Carolina’s fresh, local foods and culinary traditions.
Speaking of fresh, local foods, the Certified SC program helps consumers easily identify, find and purchase South Carolina-grown produce and other products. In addition, restaurants across the state have partnered with Certified SC through its sister program, Fresh on the Menu, through which restaurants and chefs commit to sourcing at least 25% of in-season ingredients locally.
Stop by the tent for a demonstration or two — and enjoy samples from some of our Certified SC vendors, farmers, and programs. The schedule is below.
And, don’t forget our restaurant search to find Fresh on the Menu restaurants throughout Charleston.
