UPDATE: I did try and make this at home. If you are interested, check it out. Seafood a la Wando As I’ve mentioned in several posts, we go to Charleston, SC often.

Roast Herb Pork, Succotash and Baked Polenta Fries
This succotash recipe is one of my favorites. I liked everything about the roast pork loin and baked polenta fries, but this meal is all about the succotash. The herbed pork was very tender, a bit too pink for my better half, but very nice. I liked the idea of the polenta fries and I…
Farm to Table Dinner featuring Stone Brewing at Greenbrier Farms
Very rarely do events like this come to such a happy confluence. I really like Stone Brewery. I love Greenbrier Farms and I love American Grocery. When I was invited to the Farm to Table Dinner that featured all three I was ecstatic. One of my favorite Chefs preparing food from my favorite farm, pared…
Hanger Steak, Whipped Garlic Potatoes, Mushrooms and Red Zinfandel Reduction
Sometime I just crave beef. I know, but sometimes I just do. When this is the case I generally look for the best and serve it rare as possible. On this day I was flipping through the October 2011 edition of Bon Appetit magazine looking for something easy to make and came across this recipe…
Local Pork Chops, Creamy Grits and Quick Chow Chow
One of my favorite things to do culinarily is to attempt to mimic a meal from a favorite restaurant. I try to make the same meal, with my twists. Maybe I add a little more of this or less of that. An example is a visit to The Lazy Goat (a favorite in downtown Greenville,…
Roasted Turkey Thigh, Spicy Sautéed Spinach, Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Fried Sage Jus
Two questions: Don’t you hate when you have your mouth screwed up for something and they don’t have it at the store? Why do we only eat turkey on Thanksgiving? So, Jen was out of town which usually means I’ll be experimenting with something exotic. I had planned on duck, pork belly or at least…
Portuguese Chicken with Chorizo and Clams
I have always wanted to try a Portuguese recipe. While watching the Cooking Channel and one of my favorite shows Chuck’s Day Off, I came across this meal. Every once in awhile you come across a meal that just does it for you. This meal is one of those meals for me. Portuguese Chicken with…
2011 Greenville Restaurant Week at Devereaux’s and American Grocery
Every year South Carolina puts on a Restaurant Week celebration. Through-out the state some of the nicer restaurants offer a prix fixe 3 course menu which is generally offered for around $30. Most of these restaurants usually have entrees that cost $30, so this is a really good deal. Restaurant Week in Greenville is a…

Braised Beef Tongue, Herbed Gnocchi, Smoked Tomato Sauce at American Grocery
First off, sorry, sorry, sorry for the crappy photo. I hate sitting in restaurants and trying to get that “great shot”. Instead I end up with photos like the above. Oh well, you get the gist. On to the food… If you know me, you probably know that American Grocery, at the West End in…
