We had the chance to sit down with Executive Chef Matthew Chaplin of Florence’s Lowcountry Kitchen in Charleston, SC to hear more about the seafood, rice, and one pot meals that make this food special.   About Chef Matthew Chaplin: A Charleston native who attended the Culinary Institute of Charleston, Chef Matthew’s extensive skill set expands the culinary spectrum.
