Two
Charleston restaurants --
Fuel and the
Glass Onion -- will be featured soon on
Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
The episode on Fuel, “Old Faves, New Craves,” airs at 10 p.m. today. The restaurant is planning a viewing party to watch Guy Fieri’s visit, and also is using the occasion to help
Lowcountry Food Bank fight hunger. Those attending are asking to donate a canned good, and Fuel plans to donate part of the evening’s proceeds to the food bank.
The Food Network describes Fuel as “a young chef bringin' a Caribbean twist to an old gas station with favorites like braised pork tacos and jerk chicken sandwich.” The chef and owner is Justin Broome.
If you miss the Monday show, the episode also will air at 1 a.m. Feb. 14 and 9 p.m. Feb. 24.
The Glass Onion episode, Long Standing Legacies, will air at 10 p.m. Monday, Feb. 20. It also will air at 1 a.m. Feb. 21 and 9 p.m. March 2. The show’s website describes the restaurant as a place where “fine dining chefs are turnin' out lowcountry classics like crispy chicken legs and the smoked pork loin po boy.” Those chefs are Chris Stewart and Sarah O’Kelley.
Fans of two other Charleston restaurants have more chances if they missed their restaurant on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives recently.

Tattooed Moose was featured on the episode, Meat Madness, on Jan. 16. That episode will air again at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 18, and twice on Feb. 19, at 3 a.m. and 3 p.m. The restaurant’s duck confit recipe is on the
