Chef Daniel Humm x The Charleston Place, Presented by Resy, Charleston

Should You Book This?

Seats at this pop-up are finite and the window is short. Chef Daniel Humm's collaboration with The Charleston Place, presented by Resy, is a limited-run event dining experience at 224 King St — not a permanent restaurant you can return to whenever the mood strikes. If you've been once and are weighing a second visit, the calculus is simpler: this is the kind of engagement that doesn't repeat on the same terms twice. Book before the dates close, not after you've thought about it.

The Resy Leading of the Hit List recognition for 2025 is a meaningful signal here. Resy's Hit List skews toward experiences that are genuinely hard to access and deliver something beyond a standard dinner service. Landing on the Leading of that list puts this collaboration in the same conversation as the most-talked-about openings across the country this year — including venues like Le Bernardin in New York City, Lazy Bear in San Francisco, and Single Thread Farm in Healdsburg. For Charleston, where the dining scene punches hard at the mid-range and regional barbecue end, an event-format collaboration of this profile is genuinely rare.

What to Expect

Daniel Humm is the chef behind Eleven Madison Park, which has held three Michelin stars and appeared on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. His approach to sourcing has defined his reputation: the EMP kitchen built its identity around relationships with specific farms and producers, where the provenance of an ingredient is as much a part of the dish as the technique applied to it. That philosophy doesn't disappear in a pop-up context. If you've dined here before, you'll recognise the same attention to where things come from , the sourcing choices are what justify the price point and distinguish this from a celebrity chef brand exercise.

The Charleston Place is a well-established luxury hotel property on King Street, which means the infrastructure , service, space, kitchen capability , is in place to support a high-end dinner format. This isn't a chef taking over a pop-up space and hoping the logistics hold. For a returning guest, that context matters: the room and service baseline are reliable, so the focus can stay on what's on the plate.

For comparisons further afield, diners who have eaten at Atomix in New York City, Smyth in Chicago, or Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico will recognise the sourcing-forward, ingredient-led format. The difference here is location: Charleston gives Humm access to Lowcountry produce, coastal seafood, and a distinct regional pantry that a New York kitchen doesn't have year-round. That's the editorial argument for why this pop-up, in this city, at this moment, is worth the trip rather than waiting for a table back north.
