A five-course Charleston dinner at 39 Rue de Jean pairing French and Gullah Geechee influences with wines.
A French & Gullah Geechee Table is built as a seated five-course dinner in Charleston. The format combines French and Gullah Geechee influences, with wine pairings included across the courses. It is also part of the Night Out With F&W / Food & Wine Classic in Charleston dining series, placing the dinner within a broader Food & Wine Classic program rather than a standalone restaurant service.
The culinary focus is described as French classic technique explored alongside Gullah Geechee culinary heritage. That gives the dinner a specific framework: the courses are not only paired with wines, but organized around the shared threads between those two food traditions.
The listed menu highlights include smoked and cured proteins, rice-forward dishes, okra, benne, sea island peas, and Lowcountry seafood. Wines are paired across the courses, matching the event’s five-course structure. The event description also notes that a separate restaurant reservation is required, so the ticketed dinner and the restaurant reservation are presented as distinct planning items.
The dinner is held at 39 Rue de Jean, identified as a restaurant in Charleston at 39 John St. Letha McClary is listed as Executive Chef at 39 Rue de Jean.
The published price is $225 USD per person.
