The Wrap

Everything in Elsie's, the speakeasy attached to Rock Hill's Kounter restaurant, is either chef Rob Masone's mother's, father's, grandmother's or grandfather's. The two share the historic McCrory building on Main Street, and the speakeasy even keeps the walk-in freezer door. Family heirlooms make a pretty great decor budget.
