Crispy Chicken Thigh, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Sea Island Red Peas, Cheese Grits and Red-Eye Gravy

This is another copycat recipe from Husk Greenville, which is now becoming Husk BBQ. Below are two photos I took on back to back trips. Yes, I got the same thing because it was SOOOO good. As you can see, it was “VA Duck Leg, Grilled Sweet Potato, Sea Island Red Peas, Hurricane Creek Grits,…

Seared Scallops, Crispy Country Ham, Crowder Peas with Roasted Romesco Sauce

I get ideas for meals from a lot of places. This one was very typical. I get email with updated menus from a local restaurant we like. This particular email from Northampton Wines and Cafe had a unique sounding dish. Two Massachusetts Scallops, Romesco Sauce, Spinach Spaetzle, Buttered Shallots, Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes, Crispy Prosciutto My…

Sean Brock’s Famous Husk Burger with Crispy Baked Wedge Fries

I never expected to be disappointed with this meal but I tried to manage my expectations. With that said, I was totally blown away with this burger. Most likely the best burger I have ever eaten. If interested, I made a meatless version of this same burger. A Meatless Version of the Famous Husk Burger…

Southern Yellow Squash Casserole, Seared Filet and Bacon Wrapped Green Beans with Pan Jus

This is a copycat meal that I’ve never had. We were going on a family trip to Destin, FL. Like any trip, I researched local restaurants well in advance. One that kept coming up was Boshamp’s Seafood and Oyster Bar. We actually ate there twice, if that tells you anything. When I’m at the beach,…

Cuban Chicken Chop, Yellow Rice, Black Beans with Mustard Curry and Cilantro / Jalapeno Sauces

I original posted this recipe back in 2015, Cuban Chicken Chop, Yellow Rice, Black Beans with Chimichurri. I made this with the Chimichurri because I didn’t know how to make any of the other amazing sauces at Tropical Grill, which is the inspiration for this meal. I describe the Cuban Chicken Chop Bowl in the…

Baked Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (KFC copycat)

I cut out all fast food about 15 years ago. Not because it didn’t taste good but because my metabolism decided to slow down on me. What that means is I haven’t had good old Kentucky Fried Chicken in a long time. I suppose that was okay but what I really missed was the mashed…

Turkey Pasta e Fagioli

I recently posted a review of a local restaurant that features Northern Italian cuisine called L’Incanto. That post got me thinking about the food I enjoyed while we lived there and how it was probably my first “food awakening”. By that I mean, the first time I though about food as something to enjoy. One…

Review: L’Incanto – Northern Italian Cuisine in Greer, SC

I was very fortunate as a child to live in a small town in Northern Italy. As an Army brat, we traveled and lived all over the world. I actually went to an Italian preschool in Bussolengo, a small town near Verona. I think that was the first time I really remember enjoying food (other…

Shrimp, Greens & Grits (copy cat recipe from Belford’s in Savannah, GA)

Ten years ago, my wife and I took a trip to Savannah, GA. I researched local foodie friendly restaurants and found Belford’s. I ordered and also reviewed Shrimp, Greens and Grits (jump to the review). Needless to say, I liked my food. Also, needless to say, I’ve become a better photographer and I have a…
