Taste everything.
Elevated Lowcountry and Southern cooking from a Charleston chef who plates food like art and never does anything halfway.
On the Line
Live DemoNo stock footage. Real clips from the kitchen and the community table, pulled from the chef's own feed.
A documented Charleston come-up. Lamont walked in as an intern and walked out running a station at a 40-year institution, then turned around to teach the next one coming through.
Made the choice to go after the career, moving back to Atlanta to study cooking. In his own words: this is his career now, but it is also his peace.
Joined Explore Charleston's Intern Cultural Enrichment Program, a ten-week leadership track placing rising talent into the city's hospitality industry.
Promoted to Executive Sous Chef with Queen Street Hospitality at 82 Queen, a Southern-cuisine institution operating for more than 40 years in downtown Charleston.
Came back around as a preceptor to the restaurant's 2024 culinary intern. Certified Culinarian and Certified Personal Chef, cooking Lowcountry classics like the house she-crab soup.
"Never do anything halfway."
His father's rule, and the standard in the kitchen
Lamont Ferrebee is a Charleston chef cooking elevated Lowcountry and Southern food, currently as Executive Sous Chef at 82 Queen. He came up through Explore Charleston's ICEP intern program, earned his spot, and now mentors the interns who follow him.
His food is plate-as-art: clean technique, bold sauces, nothing done halfway. Locked in on the dream since 2019, he treats cooking as both career and peace. Cafe 220 is the chef-driven brand he is building around that work.
