South Magazine published its 2019 list of the South’s Greatest Chefs and there’s some local Beaufort flavor near the top of the list.
Chef Tyler Slade of 10 Market, A Chef’s Kitchen was named #3 on the list, and we completely understand why.
Slade’s restaurant is a more intimate dining experience where you will participate in a sense of place with dinner seating limited to 10-14 guests to ensure an interactive experience with the chef himself.
10 Market serves lunch and hosts challenging culinary classes along with weekly wine bar and chef’s dinners.
Here’s come Q&A with Chef Tyler from South Magazine:
What was your first restaurant job? My first job was working at Perry’s Fish House in Burlington, Vermont, but I wasn’t cooking fish. I was the omelet guy at the buffet. I had no experience cooking, and, man, I smoked that dining room out a couple of times.
When did you realize cooking was going to be your life’s work? I always tell people it was the first job where I woke up excited to go to work. That’s how I knew. I decided to go to the New England Culinary Institute. Culinary school gave me the technique and basics, but the head chef at Posana in Asheville taught me how to be a chef. A lot of who you are and who you become as a chef depends on the mentors you learn from along the way.

HUGE congrats to Chef Tyler, to 10 Market and to the Habersham community.
