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…

Another leftover delight. If you haven’t been following, here is the back story. I made this and with the leftover I made this but the succotash was just sitting there. I was inspired by a chilly day to make soup and use the rest of the Goodnight Brothers country ham. The chowder turned out to…

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.

Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork, SC Mustard BBQ Sauce and Blue Cheese Coleslaw with Baked French Fries
In the south it is sacrilege to not smoke barbecue. Well I don’t have a smoker and I do have a slow-cooker. In South Carolina, where I live, and really anywhere in the Carolinas there is a BBQ joint on every other block. That is a great thing. Some restaurants do it better than others,…
Labrot & Graham’s Woodford Reserve Distillery Tour Photos
I might have mentioned before, I’m a huge bourbon fan. On a recent trip, we had the pleasure of touring the Labrot & Graham’s Woodford Reserve Distillery. Woodford was probably the first premium bourbon I started drinking. For a very long time, it was my “daily” drinker and even now I always have a bottle…

You can find the original salad recipe here. I grew up eating southern foods like black eyed peas, collard greens and…
