Kultura
Chef Nikko Cagalanan and co-owner Paula Kramer ran Kultura at 73 Spring Street for two years, then moved it in the fall of 2025 to 267 Rutledge Avenue, the former home of Chasing Sage. The Post and Courier calls Cagalanan a James Beard Award finalist and lists snapper curry, arroz caldo, lumpia and ribs with banana ketchup. City Paper calls the cooking an homage to a Filipino grandmother's kitchen tied to the Lowcountry. Readers voted Cagalanan runner-up for Best Restaurant Chef in 2026.
