On the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Crazy for Chicken' (aired 2014-04-18), Guy Fieri returned to The Glass Onion in Charleston, a restaurant run by chef-owners Sarah O'Kelley and Chris Stewart. According to DinersDriveInsDivesLocations.com, Fieri highlighted the confit-style Crispy Chicken Leg, served over mashed potatoes and collard greens with a sweet pepper relish, and the Smoked Pork Loin Po' Boy, dressed with house-made bread-and-butter pickles and a 'creole-aise' on Leidenheimer French bread. The segment described the restaurant's mission of serving high-end, locally sourced Southern cooking at an accessible price in a casual, market-style dining room.
