Kate Roberts and Jack Martin join Journalists Elaine and Scott Harris on their Podcast Cuisineist Travels and hear about a recent trip to Historic Charleston South Carolina to preview The Cooper, a 191-room luxury hotel slated to open on the Charleston waterfront in March 2026. Designed to blend cosmopolitan refinement with Southern warmth, the architecture and interiors evoke a refined coastal home atmosphere, maximizing rare views of the harbor and easy access to the water's edge.

The property functions as a culinary destination, offering four distinct experiences, including the signature Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, The Crossing, and the casual, retro-themed CurrentBurger. Furthermore, The Cooper emphasizes wellness and recreation through a comprehensive 7,000-square-foot spa featuring modern therapies, a rooftop infinity pool, and an exclusive on-site marina with vessels available for guest excursions. Ultimately, the hotel aims to serve as a new social and cultural anchor for Charleston, bridging the city's historic traditions with a modern paradigm of waterfront luxury.

We take a detailed exploration and review of Mae Daly’s Fine Steaks & Whiskeys in Las Vegas. The restaurant, owned by Richard Femenella, is a tribute to a historical Las Vegas figure named Mae Daly, who opened a groundbreaking saloon in 1928, emphasizing the establishment’s dedication to quality food, whiskeys, and friendly service. Enjoy the restaurant’s 1920s vintage ambiance, the expertise of its staff, like lead bartender Tommy Valentin, and the meticulously curated menu featuring diverse prime steaks, including dry-aged, grass-fed, and A5 Kobe beef, along with upscale seafood selections. Furthermore learn about Femenella’s commitment to community involvement through his founding of the Autism Community Trust (ACT) and a vocational program for adults with autism, aligning the restaurant’s mission with a focus on kindness and social responsibility. Ultimately, we find that Mae Daly’s aims to be a premier Las Vegas steakhouse that honors its namesake's legacy while actively contributing to the local community.
