One of my all-time favorite burgers from anywhere is the Southern Comfort burger from The Strip Club 104 Steakhouse (Strip as in steak) in Greer, SC. They used to do lunch on Fridays and pretty much the whole menu was burgers. They might have had a salad but I never got it. The Southern Comfort…

Fried Chicken Breast (Leftover Padano) Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing
Leftovers turned into a delicious meal. We made Fried Chicken Grana Padano, San Marzano Sugo with Rotini Pasta and had some leftover chicken and bread. Pasta is always awesome but we weren’t feeling it, so we opted for something a little “lighter”. I’ve mentioned “Rob’s bread” several times in the past. Below is the description….
Seared Salmon, Succotash, Creamy Corn Sauce and Lemon Confit
This one was inspired by an episode of TasteMade‘s Make This Tonight, TV show. Years ago I made a Sweet Corn Soup and the creamy corn sauce recipe reminded me very much of that meal. It really honors the fresh seasonal corn we have right now. Seared Salmon with a Corn and Asparagus Succotash, Creamy…
Local Peach, Blueberry, Feta and Bacon Salad with Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette
Our favorite local café and grocery posted a delicious looking salad and I decided to make it at home. I added blueberries because they are also in season here. This was so good. The fresh sweet peaches and blueberries, the acid punch from the fresh tomatoes, the crunchy salty bacon, the tart creaminess from the…
Buffalo Chicken, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Pizza
I like buffalo chicken wings. I like pizza. I like bacon. I like bleu cheese. Why not make that a pizza? I think this came about one day hanging with my niece and nephew. I wanted to encourage them to cook so we started making pizzas. They could put whatever they wanted on their pizzas….
Roasted Pork Loin, Succotash, Johnny Cakes with Hunter Sauce
First time I ever had Johnny Cakes was at Husk in Charleston, SC (one of my favorite restaurants). They are like savory pancakes but made with cornmeal. Very yummy and a great side when served with a sauce or gravy. I don’t know what inspired me to make them at home, or to combine them…
Oven Fried Buffalo Shrimp Tacos with Bacon-Bleu Cheese Cole Slaw
Poe’s Tavern on Sullivan’s Island (South Carolina) introduced me to Buffalo Shrimp Tacos but The Boathouse (Isle of Palms) and Jack’s Cosmic Dogs (IOP/Mount Pleasant) introduced me to Bleu Cheese Cole Slaw. I’ve been making bleu (or blue) cheese coleslaw for years and year. The first time I had it, it was back to back days…
Corn, Potato and Bacon Chowder
My Mom makes a chowder just like this one. Very hearty and fulfilling especially as the temperatures start dropping. I recently made a Creamy Seafood Chowder and it reminded me somewhat of my Mom’s chowder so I thought I would give that a try. Adding the white wine and shallots instead of onion gave this…
Creamy Seafood Chowder
Walking through our standard local grocery store, I noted once they had a frozen bag of assorted seafood. I’m not usually good with frozen seafood. Living where we do, we have access to some pretty fresh critters from the sea. The bag did intrigue me. This is going to sound funny but we had most…
Bacon Wrapped Pork-loin and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Grits with Wilted Ramps
One of my favorite meals I made all year. Bacon Wrapped Pork-loin and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Grits with Wilted Ramps was just perfect.
