mJestine Matthews

min a warm atmos
cookingpheremehoJestine’s Kitchen is named in honor of Jestine
Matthews, who was born in the Low country
in 1885. Her mother was a Native American,
and her father was the son of a freed slave whowas farming land on Rosebank Plantation on
Wadmalaw Island. “I don’t know if I was bornthere” she says, “but when I first know myself,
that’s where I was living.” Soon after the turnof the century, Jestine moved to Charleston,where she found work as a laundress and later
as a housekeeper. In 1928, she went to work
for Aleck Ellison and his wife, who were then
expecting a baby. It was the start of a lifelong
friendship between Jestine and the Ellisonfamily. Dana Berlin, the owner of Jestine’sKitchen, is the daughter of the Ellisons’ only
child, Shera Lee Berlin, and this restaurant
is her way of sharing the wonderful style ofhome cooking and the warm atmosphere thatJestine provided for generations of friends
and family. Jestine died at the age of 112 on
December 18, 1997, but her legend lives on.
We invite you to share a meal that could havecome from her kitchen traditional veggies,
seafood and fried chicken and raise a glass ofJestine’s table wine in a toast to her memory.
