EAT

Charleston arguably has one of the best food scenes in the South.

Take some time to check out some of Shaun and Madison's go-to's.

Breakfast & Coffee

Millers All Day

120 King St, Charleston, SC 29401, USA
(843) 501-7342

Shaun & Madison's favorite breakfast spot. Home of their first photobooth strip together. Madison's favorite way to spend a Charleston morning is a hearty breakfast here, then taking a sharp left upon exiting and walking it off while admiring the historic homes between there and Battery Park. Try the Hot Honey Chicken BEC or their French Toast Shooter (it's never too early).
