Gavin McIntyre/Staff Subscribe to CHS Menu Newsletter CHARLESTON — One of my first meals in the Lowcountry took place at the corner of Spring Street and Rutledge Avenue.Sitting on a stool along a long bar with reclaimed, dark-stained wooden panels, I watched a dining companion wince with every bite of bracingly spicy papaya salad. Reprieve came from a sip of a crisp cocktail and a bite of caramel-colored fried chicken, the toasty, sweet coating clinging to the breading on the juicy meat.When the okonomiyaki arrived, looking like a ray of sunshine with a golden egg perched on the cabbage pancake, we were completely captivated.
