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 Grana Padano, San Marzano Sugo with Rotini Pasta
Like a few of my other recent Italian recipe posts (Bucatini all’Amatriciana and Spaghetti al Pomodoro), this one is super easy and super good. Unlike the other recipes, this wasn’t inspired by the time I spent in Italy. This one was inspired by a menu item at a local favorite restaurant. Restaurant 17 had a…
Review: L’Incanto – Northern Italian Cuisine in Greer, SC
I was very fortunate as a child to live in a small town in Northern Italy. As an Army brat, we traveled and lived all over the world. I actually went to an Italian preschool in Bussolengo, a small town near Verona. I think that was the first time I really remember enjoying food (other…

Panera’s Thai Chopped Chicken Salad Recipe
The Thai Chicken Salad from Panera Bread Company is one of my favorite salads. It is fantastic. It has everything I look for in a great meal. Crunchy, a little heat, a little sweet, sour, tangy and lots of savory. The dressing, the peanut drizzle… nom, nom. I would say, I love this salad, so…
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…
