Blackout Burger, known as a pop-up for chef Cameron Wetzler's smash burgers, has opened a permanent restaurant at 1813 Reynolds Ave. in North Charleston. Downtown, Jack's Diner has reopened at 41 George St. under Chaz Wendel and Tyler Hunt, the owners of neighboring Legend Deli, serving diner classics daily.
Why this matters here
Both are independent operators betting on a storefront, one graduating from pop-up to permanent and one reviving a address locals have missed for years. They are the exact kind of neighborhood business that lives or dies on whether people nearby know they exist.
