The Beginning 

Scott Perry was raised in Charleston, SC where he fell in love with the type of food and memories every kid should have. Picking fresh berries and making home made whipping cream with his family. Grabbing tomatoes on the way home from a small cart on the side of the road, and turning those tomatoes into the best salads and B.L.T.s were staples of his childhood. 

 It’s the love of simple food and high-quality ingredients that really make Hometown special.

Chef Perry's goal is simple, “to create an atmosphere that will exceed our guest expectations, with passion for incomparable service standards, and seasonal craft menus curated with the highest quality ingredients. Using fresh quality ingredients and building every dish from scratch is exactly how we get there."

Chef Perry has been cooking in scratch kitchens for over 20 years from the Mustard Seed Group in Charleston, SC to the Occidental Grill and 701 in D.C. Opening Hometown in 2021 was and always will be an experience of a lifetime. Taking over a second-generation restaurant and restoring it was no easy task but well worth it. Hometown prides itself in giving back to the community and being able to support local vendors is the definition of hospitality. Perry and his team members are always looking for new inspiration as they change menus seasonally.
