Why become a Fresh on the Menu Chef?

Featured Recipes

Promote Your Restaurant
Fresh on the Menu was created to support South Carolina farmers. To be a Fresh on the Menu restaurant, 25% of your ingredients must be Certified SC products that are in season. If your restaurant meets that requirement, or if you’d like to increase your use of local ingredients, contact Ansley Rast Turnblad at aturnblad@scda.sc.gov or (803) 734-2207.
