Asian Salmon, Udon Stir-fry and Spicy Pickled Carrots

On Saturday’s my wife and I love to go to Northampton Wines and Café. We eat lunch and enjoy a glass a wine (or two). The lunch menu is usually only four items each week and they usually fill us up just right. With that said, it is generally a more lavish mid-day meal than…

Braised Short Ribs with Pepper Potato Gnocchi, Baby Carrots and Haricot Verts

I love braising stuff. It takes a while but is always worth the wait. Chicken, pork or in this case beef cooked in delicious liquids low and slow, there isn’t much better. The beauty is you can use inexpensive cuts, tough cuts and the braise breaks them down to their most tender. Whenever the weather…

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…

Steak Frites with Blood Orange, Beet and Fennel Salad

I get the magazine Bon Appétit at home. It is one of the few print publications I still read. At least once an issue, I’ll see something that I become obsessed to make. This month’s obsession was the Blood Orange, Beet and Fennel Salad. The picture in the magazine was spectacular (unlike mine, gosh I…

We love the history, shopping, beaches and most important for me, the restaurants. Many of my favorite restaurants are in Charleston. One restaurant…

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…

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…

Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich at The Nose Dive

Restaurants can come and go pretty quickly. One restaurant that opened with great fan fare in downtown Greenville was The Nose Dive. The next in a long growing line of Table 301 Restaurants that include local favorites like Soby’s, The Lazy Goat and Devereaux’s. The Nose Dive was a long time coming. Opening in the…
