Last night, I totally met Chef John Currence, and I am still swimming in happiness. He was in Greenville promoting his new cookbook Pickles, Pigs & Whiskey: Recipes from My Three Favorite Food Groups and Then Some at my own personal food mecca in Greenville, Bacon Bros Public House. And it keeps getting better: Chef…… Continue Reading

Tuesday Mish Mash: pigs, wine and a crazy new cooking store.
I totally held a pig last weekend. And I swear it was one of the coolest things I’ve done in FOREVER. We were at the Boone Hall Farm Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch and this year, God bless them, they had a petting zoo complete with a llama, a calf, goats, bunnies, a mini donkey,…… Continue Reading

Dinner at Old Village Posthouse
Old Village Post House Executive Chef, Frank Lee, is a rock star in the culinary South. It’s like playing Six Degrees of Frank Lee when it comes to his influence among South Carolina’s most notable chefs. He was sustainable and locally sourcing food before they were marketing catchphrases for restaurants. Bottom line? He knows food. I…… Continue Reading

Farm-to-Table Dinner at Chattooga Belle Farm
This, folks, was my dinner table Sunday night. I was lucky beyond words to have won two tickets from Edible Upcountry Magazine to attend the annual Chattooga Belle Farms Farm-to-Table dinner. (I’m about to shower you with pictures.) I took my friend Nina, who also had entered the contest. We drove and drove…and drove, until…… Continue Reading

A little taste of Euphoria 2013
Last weekend food lovers descended on Greenville for Euphoria 2013, four days of all you can eat foodie bliss. It’s been almost a week. I think I am mostly recovered. I missed the debauchery in 2012, but was lucky enough to snag tickets this year for a weekend of amazing sip and nosh and crazy paparazzi-style…… Continue Reading

A little beer and cheese with GALS Greenville
Gap Creek Gourmet joined GALS Greenville on Monday night for a beer and cheese tasting. I’ve been on this all girl beer lovers group invite list for a while and finally buckled down, grabbed my buddy Nina, and got my butt out there to meet the ladies. Okay, I’m going to name drop now: I…… Continue Reading

Monday Mashup.
Some Mondays are just filled with possibility, don’t you think? It’s the beginning of a new week. A clean slate. A fresh start on the to-do list. A new world to explore. Love it. I am obsessed with Kid President. http://http://youtu.be/l-gQLqv9f4o Got apples? Every person I think I know has been to Skytop Orchard. It’s the…… Continue Reading

A little Saturday Dis and Dat
What’s up my friends? Can you believe fall is on it’s way? I seriously turned my car around in the middle of the road to head back to Starbuck’s today when I heard Pumpkin Spiced Lattes are back. Like NOW. Never mind I’m on gallbladder enforced dietary lock down until they yank the thing out.…… Continue Reading

truffle fries, a holiday tune and catch up
I was sipping on a glass of Alamos Malbec (great wine for under $15 pick), and thinking that I’ve let the week slip by without posting. I went to Marks again this week with my buddy Ximena and totally ordered their Parmesan Truffle Fries. They are so blasted good that there aren’t words. I’m a huge truffle…… Continue Reading

a little wine and a little dine in Chucktown
It’s 4:30. Too early for dinner? Okay, maybe a glass of wine first. I’m trying out this tonight. The wine is a pet project of Dave Matthews, believe it or not. Yes, the singer. It’s not bad! Definitely a California red…a little sweet, a little dry. Yum. So I have fled the mountains. Well, not exactly…… Continue Reading
