History of Church and Union

The Sunday before last, I had the opportunity to enjoy a little southern hospitality in one of the most beautiful cities in our nation- Charleston, South Carolina. Affectionately called “the Holy City,” Charleston is home not only to historic landmarks and amazing restaurants, but also to over 400 churches, some dating back to the founding of Charles Towne in 1670. One of those churches has been de-sanctified. 

Once a Baptist church, now it is open for business as a high-end eating establishment. Church and Union Charleston has sister restaurants in Nashville, TN and Charlette, NC. The original restaurant in Nashville sits on the corner of Church and Union streets, but only Charleston is in an actual church building. At this ‘church’, Sunday is celebrated with mimosas and praline French toast.
