About Roland
My name is Chef Roland Feldman. I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. I began my culinary journey at a young age, working in several local restaurants in the Charleston area. I took the step into fine dining with the Southern institution Magnolia’s Restaurant. From there, I traveled to Denver, Colorado, where I attended Johnson and Wales University. There, I spent time with some of the Nation’s top chefs, including Wolfgang Pucks Protègè Chef Jennifer Jasinski, at her flagship Rioja Restaurant.
From there, I returned to Charleston and spent time at Relais & Chateau property Peninsula Grill before founding my food truck, Smoke BBQ, which I grew into two brick-and-mortar locations in the heart of Charleston. I have been featured in the Food Channel, Southern Charm, The Washington Post, The Today Show, Charleston Magazine, SIP Magazine, the Post & Currier, as well as several other National publications.
I would like to produce an unforgettable culinary experience for your friends and family. Please contact me to personalize the perfect menu for your upcoming occasion. Thank you so much for your consideration and the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Chef Roland Feldman
