We had a great time at the Burgers, Bands and Brews Competition this past weekend at the Charleston Harbor Marina and Resort.
Our Executive Chef Bill Montgomery whipped up a real winner of a burger with his Chef Bill Good Burger! It was a crowd favorite and also the judges as Toast took home the 2nd place overall trophy against some stiff competition.
Check out the photos from the competition and be sure to try an award winning Toast! Burger soon!
We were proud to serve those that serve us last night as Charleston Hospitality Group honored local legislators: Representative Leon Stavrinakis, Representative Chip Limehouse, Representative Peter McCoy, Representative Wendall Gillaird, Representative Jim Merrill, Senator Paul Campbell.
Here are some photos from the event.
We were honored to cater the first annual Rhyne Roast at Pepper Plantation on Friday night. We had great food (Oysters, BBQ and dessert) and music with The Brady Smith Band. Check out the photos and thank you to Dr. Rhyne and friends for a great event!
We were proud to have one of our restaurants, Toast of Summerville, cater the annual Summerville Chamber of Commerce Legislative Luncheon on Tuesday, Oct 28th 2014.
The local State representatives were there to go over the hot button issues facing the economic and business concerns of the area.
Legislative Panel
Senator Sean Bennett – District 38
Representative Chris Murphy – District 98
Representative Jenny Horne –District 94

Our own Jason Boutin of Toast of Summerville gave a great speech about the importance of giving back to the community, something he does through his job and personal life.
Here are some highlights from the event.
We had a blast catering and cruising around the Charleston Harbor on-board a 115′ yacht last week.

20 Your awareness of other people’s lack of efficiency and common sense will increase and your tolerance of it will decrease.

23 You will spend all your waking hours on your feet, never getting a chance to sit downeven for 5 minutes.
24 Your shortest work days will be longer than most people’s longest, and your longer workdays, which make up about half of your working week, will be longer than the averageperson is awake in a day.

41 You will have to work many years in menial positions before attaining any level of authority in the workplace.
42 The better the restaurant is, the longer the work hours become, the more pressure youend up under, the more unhealthy your lifestyle will become, the more likely you will beto develop a habit, the more competitive the people around you will become, the lesssleep you’ll get, the less you’ll eat etc.
43 You will constantly make mistakes, and every time you do make a mistake, someone will notice it and make you understand that you are clearly a subhuman because only asubhuman could make such a mistake.
