Charleston Burger Lovers Unite!

Hey, Charleston! Are you ready to sink your teeth into something delicious? Voting is now officially open for this year’s Burger Throwdown!

The judges have been chosen, but guess what? You, the burger-loving public, get to cast your votes too! It’s your chance to support local restaurants and help them claim the coveted crown before the voting wraps up on October 2nd. What can be more exciting than having a say in which burger reigns supreme? Get ready to indulge in some of the best buns, beef, and toppings our city has to offer!

Cast Your Vote!

To join in the fun, simply head over to the voting page, and you’ll find details on all the contenders. Whether you have a favorite neighborhood joint or you want to try something new, each burger has its own story to tell that makes the competition even more interesting. Remember, every vote counts, so don’t sit this one out. Your taste buds will thank you!

Comedy Lovers, Gather Round!

On another exciting note, if you’re in the mood for some laughs, Charleston is also set to welcome Lucas Zelnick, the New York-based comedian who’s taking the stage at Theatre 99 on September 19th. His Highly Laffeinated Comedy Tour is the highlight of the week, and it’s a show you don’t want to miss! Due to popular demand, an additional late-night performance has just been added, so there’s still time to grab your tickets if you want to see him live.

A Journey from Business to Comedy

Now, you might be wondering what makes Zelnick so special. Before he became a comedy sensation, he had his sights set on a career in business and Wall Street after attending Stanford University. But then, life threw a curveball when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Instead of letting it derail his dreams, he pivoted and found his true calling in comedy.

“I was interested in comedy when I applied to Stanford, but it was during Covid, so I couldn’t perform,” Lucas explained. However, instead of giving up, he teamed up with fellow comedians to launch Sesh Comedy Club in New York, which quickly gained popularity. It was through this experience that he realized he could balance the grind of performing like a pro.

Viral Fame with Authenticity

Zelnick has now carved a niche for himself, blending sharp wit with relatable anecdotes and crowd interaction, which has led to some viral clips that’ve garnered millions of views! He’s not just a social media star, though. The young comic believes that nothing beats live performances and thrives on the energy of audiences.

So, if you’re curious about his unique blend of humor—combined with a city-smart edge—then you’re in luck. Zelnick describes his style as “snarky, out-of-touch, sarcastic elitist,” which, although bold, draws lively and passionate crowds. He says, “Growing up in New York teaches you to argue and fends for yourself, and I bring that energy to the stage.”

The Experience of a Lifetime

If you’re looking to enjoy a great night filled with laughter and even a little bit of friendly ribbing (he’ll have plenty of engagement with the crowd), be sure to catch Lucas Zelnick performing at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on September 19. Tickets start at just $25, and who knows? It might be one of the best nights out you’ve had in a while!

So, savor those awesome burgers while filling your calendar with fun events like Zelnick’s comedy show. Let’s keep the spirit of Charleston flourishing with local flavors and big laughs!
