Soby’s Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes, Broccolini and Habanero Butter Sauce
Soby’s was one of the first upscale restaurants to open up on Main Street here in Greenville, SC. We’ve had a number of important dinners there, including our wedding dinner. As long as I have been going there, one of my favorite meals has been the bacon wrapped pork loin with broccolini, mashed potatoes and…
Carolina Mule – An Adult Beverage Recipe
Moscow Mules are all the rage apparently. Copper cups, vodka and ginger beer with a bit of lime. I was reading one of my cooking magazine (I forget which) and I came across a Kentucky Mule. Basically they replace the vodka with bourbon. Anyone who knows me, knows very well that if bourbon is involved,…
Top 5 Favorite Restaurants in Charleston, SC
I’ve seen a lot of list of the best restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina. Some are really good but all are based at the end of the day on personal preference. How much do you want to spend? What kind of food do you prefer? Can you get a reservation? These questions are much more…
Cornmeal Crusted Catfish, Country Ham Succotash with Avocado and Cilantro Purée
Stella’s Southern Bistro and Goodnight Brothers country ham inspired this meal. Stella’s is a restaurant located on the other side of town from me. I’ve had their food but I had never visited the restaurant. For Restaurant Week, we headed across town to give it a try. I had Carolina Classics Pan Roasted Catfish, Louisiana…
South Carolina Shrimp and Grits
A southern tradition, shrimp and grits is perfect any time of year. This is my version and a little non-traditional but delicious all the same. Definetly low-country based, my version uses Poblano and Serrano peppers instead of bell pepper (more traditional). Bacon (a food group and complete sentence on its own). More traditional recipes call…
Skillet-Roasted Chicken, Farro with Acorn Squash and Kale and Herb Pistou
Beautiful. Sometimes that is how you have to describe food. One particular month, the cover of Bon appetit magazine particularly caught my eye. Not only did the dish on the cover look amazing, it happened to have been prepared by one of my favorite Chefs and at one of my favorite restaurants. I’ve been a…
Duo of Greenbrier Farms Lamb at American Grocery
I always enjoy a visit to my favorite restaurant in Greenville, American Grocery. This particular trip was a date night and just happen to be our two week wedding anniversary. Jen and I both agreed we need a break, and Jen suggested AGR. It might have had something to do with them having Paella on…
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…
Fall for Greenville 2011, downtown Greenville, South Carolina
We are very fortunate in this area to have a lot of great restaurants. We are equally lucky to have many outdoor events. As I have posted before, Fall for Greenville combines the best of both. This outdoor festival is full of music, great local food and eclectic beer and wine selections and proceeds go…
