I love red beans and rice. Strangely enough, what got me hooked on this wasn’t some fancy restaurant in Louisiana. It was Bojangles Chicken and Biscuits, a fast food restaurant. I don’t eat fast food anymore but if I did it would be at Bojangles. Their spicy fried chicken and their biscuits are awesome but…

Roasted Duck Breast at Dudley’s on Short
I tried to make this at home, sort of. Roasted duck, caramelized sweet potatoes, watercress, green apple “kimchi” with a bourbon-maple gastrique Trips to visit my wife’s family takes us right through Kentucky. I love that part of the drive. Rolling, lush hills. It is a beautiful part of the country. Going up we make…
Flank steak, roasted duck fat fingerling potatoes, wilted ramps with pancetta, red wine and balsamic vinegar pan sauce
This was all about the ramps. Yum! If you’ve never had them, they are sort of a cross between green garlic and green onions. The mouth feel is creamy and the flavor is very bold. Ramps are very hard to find and are only available for a short part of the spring. I found mine…
Quick Shrimp and Andouille Gumbo with Brown Rice
We love gumbo, who doesn’t? This one is easy enough to make on a week night. I’ve made so many versions of this, some take hours, but I’ll be honest this one is my favorite. Super-fast, rich, spicy and very satisfying, I recommend this one folks. I use San Marzano tomatoes, the smoked paprika and…
Pan Seared Salmon with Farro Orzo and Roasted Vegetable Salad
Crispy seared salmon with a light, tangy farro orzo salad is perfect for any season. Our CSA is bountiful this year. We are getting lots and lots of squash, zucchini and kale. Good thing we like them, a lot. Sometimes you have to be creative in how you prepare them lest the large quantities of…
Pappardelle with Vegetable “Bolognese”
You don’t miss the meat, seriously. I originally found this in a Bon Appetit magazine (Pappardelle with Vegetable “Bolognese”). I made a few modifications that make this one a keeper. We love pasta and eat it at least once a week. Usually we use a sauce plus a protein. I love mixing some pancetta into…
SC Mahi Mahi and Shrimp, Grilled Carrots and Kale, Potato Puree with Basil Pesto
Beach trip meal cooked (almost) exclusively on the grill. We picked up the local Mahi Mahi (Dolphin Fish) and shrimp that day at Mt. Pleasant seafood located right on the water at Shem’s Creek. The carrots, kale, green onions and basil were all from our CSA. The potatoes were left over smashed potatoes from a…
Flank Steak, Roasted Sage and Duck Fat Potatoes, Sautéed Kale and Blueberry Balsamic Jus
Flank steak is one of my favorite steaks. Reasonably priced and if prepared correctly, delicious. Also, duck fat. Our sage plant in our herb garden decided this year to go nuclear. It is out of control. The base looks like a tree trunk. Anyway, I really needed to use some sage and potatoes are always…

Greenbrier Farm to Table Dinner with Hedges Wine and Stella’s Southern Bistro
It was a chilly night, not a usual thing on March 6th in the upstate of South Carolina. Never the less it was cold; to the point they had a pit fire and big outdoor space heater going instead the barn. We love Greenbrier Farms; it is an awesome place ran by awesome folks and…
