Craig Conover And Venita Aspen Just Reunited For an Exciting "First" (PHOTOS)
The Southern Charm cast members reunited in the most epic location filled with delicious-looking food.
Craig Conover and Venita Aspen reunited last week for one very tasty reason. The Southern Charm cast members appeared at the first-ever Food & Wine Classic in their home city of Charleston, which took place over the last weekend of September.
Craig and Venita appeared at the event, where attendees got to meet with world-class chefs and local talent, participate in wine and food tastings, attend seminars, and watch food-centric demonstrations. Both Craig and Venita attended the Southern Living Low Country Tailgate, held on Kiawah River — the same site as Southern Living's 2024 Idea House. It was here where attendees could enjoy BBQ, try cocktails, and get the ultimate southern tailgate experience.
Craig took to his Instagram feed at the time and posted a series of photos taken at the event, where he snapped pictures with Venita and celebrity chef Tyler Florence. "I'm really excited to see where this relationship is heading," Craig wrote in the caption of the post.
Craig had previously paid a visit to the Idea House in August, when he and Southern Charm's Austen Kroll brought their new restaurant experience to the home in a preview for By The Way.

Craig and Venita also snapped some photos together at the event, where they looked amazing. Seriously, they could not look any happier to be hanging out in such a fun environment.
Who knows? Maybe this sparked a potential collaboration between Venita and Craig's pillow business, Sewing Down South. Venita took to her Instagram Story in January, where she held a Q&A and one of her followers asked if she ever thought about collaborating with Craig.
"I'll ask [Craig's girlfriend, Paige DeSorbo] to see what we could do but I think that could be sew cool!" Venita wrote in response.
Craig Conover & Austen Kroll's latest update on their Charleston restaurant
It's only fitting for Craig to be at a food event, especially since his Charleston restaurant with Austen is opening very soon. The neighborhood tavern, being opened in partnership with Uptown Hospitality Group, will be located at 45 1/2 Spring Street, and serve as a "neighborhood den" located in an "upscale space."
Although the business partners have not yet announced the exact opening date, they have been teasing around it. On September 23, the official Instagram account for the restaurant revealed that they had hosted their "last pop-up" before starting the "final countdown" to opening.
