The chef discusses the restaurant’s long-awaited opening and his favorite way to eat oysters.

Raised in Buffalo and trained at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, Chef Dan Witwer’s career path has traversed the East Coast. He came to town to open the Savannah location of popular Charleston restaurant The Darling Oyster Bar. Previously, he’d been working in Nashville, where he was immersed in the world of beef. The hard left from land to sea has opened up a world of new knowledge and possibility for him. Now, he’s channeling years of kitchen experience, a mix of regional flavors, and a deep appreciation for local farmers, fishermen, and oyster growers into creating a restaurant that may be a second location, yet feels deeply rooted in place.
