CIRCA 1886 CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS IN JULY WITH COOKIE CONTEST

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Following on the heels of its popular Charleston Choice Ice Cream Contest last summer, Charleston restaurant Circa 1886 is asking the question: If Charleston was a cookie what would it be?


The public is invited to concoct their own cookie recipe throughout July that best represents the historic city of Charleston as part of the Christmas in July: Charleston's Cookie Contest. The winning entry will be served as the holiday cookie on the AAA Four Diamond, Mobil Four Star restaurant's dessert menu served throughout December.


“At Circa 1886, we celebrate the historic flavors of Charleston, so what better way to combine the holiday season and the city’s historic past than with Charleston’s very own Christmas cookie?” says Marc Collins, executive chef. “We invite the public to really have fun thinking about which ingredients best represent Charleston. We had some great entries for our ice cream contest, like sweet tea and pluff mud flavors, and the winning seersucker flavor, so get creative!”


Patrons can submit their suggested ingredients and name for the Charleston cookie on the restaurant's Web site www.circa1886.com July 1-31. They can also submit a video with their suggestion tagged CharlestonChristmasCookie on YouTube. To view video of last year's ice cream contest, visit the restaurant's YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/circa1886.

The winning cookie, as selected by restaurant chefs and guest judges, will be served as the holiday cookie this year at Circa 1886. The winner will receive a complimentary dinner for four at Circa 1886, excluding alcoholic beverages and gratuity, and, of course, the claim to fame for creating Charleston’s Christmas cookie.
