Years ago on Isle of Palms, SC, we had an special at The Boathouse at Breach Inlet: Arctic Char with veggies + citrus hollandaise. That memory popped up recently, so I had to try a copycat.
My version: Air-Fried Arctic Char 🐟 with sautéed local Swiss chard, roasted carrots, smashed potatoes, and citrus hollandaise. Ingredients came from a couple of favs—Broadwater Shrimp Co. + Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery.
Meet the Notorious F.I.G. 🍸 A bold mix of rye whiskey, Grand Marnier, caramelized fig syrup, and blueberry balsamic vinegar. Inspired by a bounty of figs, its name tips the hat to a legendary artist and Hitchcock’s Notorious. Rich. Nuanced. Unforgettable.
This recipe features an easier, lighter version of Soby’s Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, using sous vide cooking for precise doneness. It incorporates charred scallion and almond pesto, substituting grits for mashed potatoes, and replacing butter and cream with olive oil and almond creamer.
This recipe for Air Fried Korean Chicken Thighs and Kimchi Carolina Gold Fried Rice, featuring gochujang and veg from the fridge inspired by a closed restaurant, is quick and tasty.
Fork & Plough is a farm-to-table restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina, that opened in 2018. It features diverse menus, excellent cocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere. Consistent quality and friendly service make it a fav. Highly recommended.
The origin of the Monte Carlo Cocktail remains unclear, appearing in a cocktail recipe book from the late 1940s. It combines rye whisky, Bénédictine, and Angostura bitters, resembling both a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned. The drink, served over ice, can be garnished with a lemon twist.
This post describes a simpler version of a previous meal, featuring seared Atlantic wreckfish, crispy potatoes instead of panisses, and charred asparagus. A bell pepper sauce complements the dish. The meal was prepared in about an hour for a weeknight dinner.
The Rolls Royce cocktail originated in the 1930s, featuring a blend of gin, dry and sweet vermouth, Bénédictine, and optional orange bitters. This for is balance yet boozy, making “I’ll make it again” list.
I made this dish several years ago but never posted it. Sous vide duck breast with Gruyère grits and charred broccolini. I used a bourbon blueberry balsamic reduction to tie the meal together.
I’m finishing up watching White Lotus with the wife, sparked by Walton Goggins’ (she is a fan). I came across the White Lotus Martini cocktail and gave it a try.
