The definition of a
bistro is a small, neighborhood, casual eating establishment known for
serving hearty, simple fare. Cork Neighborhood Bistro is that and much
more.
THE OWNER - Tradd Ashley Gibbs
With a passion for good food and years of catering experience and
entrepreneurship under his belt, opening a restaurant just made sense
for owner Tradd Ashley Gibbs. Tradd along with his friends and family
yearned to create a bistro-style restaurant in the neighborhood.
With
the redevelopment of the North Charleston area, the Olde Village has
become a destination embracing both a local heritage and a community
proud of their neighborhood. Cork Neighborhood Bistro was created to
bring a unique menu and experience to Park Circle. Cork has a downtown
appeal for Olde Village residents to enjoy without having to venture far
from home.
The name Cork was chosen in recognition of the
natural sustainability of cork materials. Tradd and the Cork Staff are
committed to being as green as possible at every opportunity. Almost
everything in the restaurant has been reclaimed, refurbished and
repurposed, as opposed to buying new. The menu is both locally and
seasonally inspired and changes regularly based on local, fresh foods
that are in season.
