So, being here in Charleston and seeing all of these signs for "lowcountry food" makes me wonder - what exactly is this style of cuisine? Something you dig out of the ground?
Lowcountry cuisine, according to Wikipedia, is food that draws specifically from the "South Carolina Low Country and Georgia." It holds some ties with Southern cooking, but is influenced by a local abundance of fresh seafood, its uses of grain as part of the diet and correlations with Caribbean and Africian cuisines.
Charleston proper certainly does hold a number of restaurants claiming to cook this lowcountry specialty. While I won't list individual ones here becasue I haven't tried enough to pass judgement, I can at least point you to this short article which offers a handful of ideas to start with.
