A Meatless Version of the Famous Husk Burger

I recently posted the most amazing burger recipe I’ve ever eaten, Sean Brock’s Famous Husk Burger with Crispy Baked Wedge Fries. I didn’t even finish that amazing burger before I thought, why not do this meatless. For the last several years we have been cutting down on the red meat we eat. Specifically we’ve been…

Chicken a la Clinton (copycat of a copycat) Henry’s in Charleston, SC

I came across this recipe by accident. I was trying to find if anyone else had ever posted a recipe for Seafood a la Wando. I never found one so I made my own up. The good one is here, but I had an earlier, somewhat failed attempt, here. Anyway, I found this I guess…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

Seafood a la Wando (Reboot)

Way back in 2012 I posted about one of my favorite dishes in Charleston, SC, Seafood a la Wando at Hank’s Seafood. It is indeed still one of my favorites. The crispy grit cakes, the fresh seafood, the rich buttery cream sauce. Oh and mushroom, bell pepper and green onion add earthiness, color and crunch….

Copy Cat Mexican Pizza like from “the bell”

As a kid one of my favorite things to eat was the Mexican Pizza from that fast food restaurant with “the bell”. Crispy, savory, gooey, yummy all in a little box for ease of consumption. Having lived in Europe through high school, when we got back to the states I wan’t a Chick-fil-a sandwich and…

Healthy Mac’n Cheese – Vegetables, Tofu, Potato, Pasta and Cheese (REBOOT)

I made this before, several times in fact. Each time I’ve made it I’ve tweaked to make it better. I thought it would be good to repost/reboot it with the changes I’ve been making to make this dish even better.
