Huck's Lowcountry Table

Owner/Executive Chef JJ Kern is originally from the Old Village of Mount Pleasant. He now resides on Hartnett Blvd. with his wife April. He had his beginnings in the restaurant industry when his Mom, Susan, was working part time for Ronnie Boles who looked after the seven year old upstairs at R.B.'s.  He then started working for R.B.'s when he was 15. At age 18, JJ left for Washington D.C. to pursue a degree in architecture which just didn't fit for this Charleston native. He returned home to Charleston where he helped open Bubba Gumps downtown to continue to fuel the passion he remembered from working in a kitchen.  From there he left to work for Sal Parco whom he worked with over the next six years at Sal's various restaurants including the Boulevard Dinner, Mustard Seed, and Long Point Grill.  The experience he gained working for Sal provided  a solid foundation from which to launch his own venture - Hucks Lowcountry Table.  JJ's long term goal for Hucks is to "give the islands a restaurant with a lasting impression on the community and a place for the community to come together."  He runs his restaurant with a sense of humility and says that the chance to offer someone an experience to grow or to learn is the opportunity you give yourself to stay humble and genuine.  After Hucks he plans to move his talent to the Caribbean with his wife, April, where they plan to open a small exclusive villa so that she can focus on her marine research and he can further his culinary experience.  True to his humble objectives, he envisions his last venture as simple and satisfying. "When I am old and slow to move, my last venture will be a gourmet fish taco stand in the islands somewhere".
