In 1989, Motor Supply led the charge to revitalize the downtown fine dining scene in South Carolina's capital city by opening in a historic building in the Congaree Vista district, with a heated/cooled outdoor patio and curated artwork by Midlands artists. Ever since, the locally-owned eatery has been a leader in the progressive upscale dining scene in Columbia, S.C.: http://www.motorsupplycobistro.com/about/
Chef Wes Fulmer, who has cooked in Beard Award-winning kitchens in New Orleans and Philadelphia, works with local, sustainable and organic farms and regional producers, using classic French techniques and Southern traditions to create contemporary American, Asian, Mediterranean and vegetarian dishes for the daily-changing menu.
Featured by The Local Palate magazine, FoodNetwork.com, Food + Wine online, Travel + Leisure, Fodor's Travel, and The Telegraph, Fulmer and his team have garnered all three major local readers' choice awards for "Best Restaurant" for multiple years: http://www.motorsupplycobistro.com/meet/view/wesley-fulmer.
