Charleston chef Donald Barickman, credited for helping found Magnolias, Cypress and Blossom, has parted ways with Hospitality Management Group.

Barickman oversaw kitchen operations for all three restaurants and trained the executive chef at each.

According to the article in today's Post and Courier, Barickman left HMG on February 10th due to, "a difference of opinion on daily business decisions, not a single episode."
