Hey You Guyyys!!!
So Robert Wong (the closest thing Charleston has to a celebrity chef) has parted ways with the Power Alley Grill. From now on it’ll be operated by ballpark management. While it makes perfect sense for the ballpark to be operating the restaurant, I certainly hope this doesn’t mean the Power Alley’s in trouble. It’s a great room. It’s a pretty good sports bar too, and I don’t even like sports.
(Here’s a link to their menu, and a list of weekly specials.)
The principals have assured us that this is what they intended all along. Unfortunately, that’s often a sure sign it isn’t. Running a year-round bar/restaurant in a half-year ballpark must be tough, especially in a deserted part of town. But I’m a fan of the Power Alley, so I hope there’s less to this than I’m imagining.
Please Sarah “Tex” Winn, tell me how wrong I am. And pass the chips.

Oh, my dear foodie, you shouldn’t worry. Give the ballpark management a chance to show you what they can do on their own.
As Guy Clark would sing,
“Baby, don’t let em’ blow smoke up your dress. Don’t let em’ break your heart. Don’t start thinkin’ that life’s a mess. You’ve done just fine so far”
Eat up.
