Shuai and Corrie Wang were ready for a change after years working in New York City restaurants. They’d settled on their next move being to Charleston to open a new restaurant with a friend, but when those plans fell through shortly after uprooting their lives, the Wangs struck out on their own.
After opening Short Grain food truck to much acclaim and success, Shuai and Corrie set their sights on a brick and mortar. The concept for the restaurant grew over time to something deeply personal for Shuai, and that’s reflected all over the menu at Jackrabbit Filly. Featuring the food he grew up eating and being influenced by, the menu is a fun and delicious mix of cultures and techniques which makes a meal at Jackrabbit Filly an adventure.
Last year as they began to look for ways to help their team grow with new opportunities, Corrie and Shuai began working with Brandon Olson, their then sous chef at Jackrabbit Filly, to help develop a new concept that would continue exploring Shuai’s Chinese upbringing while also incorporating barbecue flavors Brandon grew up with in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. The upcoming King BBQ will be another exciting addition to the Charleston dining scene with Brandon stepping into the role of pitmaster and chef de cuisine. Currently popping up on the menu at Jackrabbit Filly on Sundays, King BBQ will be opening this year in a brick and mortar location in North Charleston.
