Mon Dieu, It’s Fish!
That would be Catering Manager Richard Jones and Chef Nico Romo showing me a GIANT grouper yesterday (no, not served at last night’s event). Thanks to everyone who made last night’s Sustainable Seafood Dinner such a phenomenal success. 46 attendees, one fantastic fisherman, the South Carolina Aquarium and a team of culinary and service experts [...]

That’s my friend Mary’s drawing of her Uncle Carl, her favorite uncle as you might have guessed. At least he was back in the early 1980s when she drew this very lovely sketch. And I’m quite positive he loves sustainable seafood. Trust me on this. I know Uncle Carl. Spent some time in the kitchen [...]

Did you happen to see that dashing French chef on Lowcountry Live last week? (Did I mention he’s also a FIERCE goalkeeper?) That was Nico, if you didn’t already guess, cooking up a little taste of what’s to come at Wednesday’s Sustainable Seafood Dinner here at Fish. Our friends at the South Carolina Aquarium [...]

Seriously. We threw a fantastic party last night. Just a few of the emails we’ve received today… “Thank you for hosting quite possibly the BEST Travel Council meeting we’ve ever had! We had a great attendance and I can’t thank you both enough for taking such great care of our group.” “We all had such a [...]

Big day. Chef Nico and Megan from the South Carolina Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Program were on Lowcountry Live this morning to promote the upcoming Sustainable Seafood Dinner next Wednesday. Nico cooked two courses (triggerfish and b-liners) and as usual, was his delightful, sweet French self. I will not regale you with the dismal story of my [...]

Just another exciting day here at PP. Tomorrow evening is the Patrick Properties Events Appreciation Party. The party, which we’re cohosting with the Charleston Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, is two-fold: one, a “special” CVB Travel Council Meeting and a big thank you to all of our clients. We’re also showcasing our newest property, Lowndes Grove, [...]

Nico, Randall and I attended a fantastic meeting this morning held at the USDA Vegetable Laboratory out on Highway 17. Lowcountry Local First and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture have teamed up to ensure the production of local food through the SCDA’s programs: Certifed South Carolina Grown and their farm/restaurant initiative “Fresh on the [...]

The photo was taken by Camilo José Vergara at 219 E. Martin Luther King Boulevard, Los Angeles, 2006. In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, I watched the MLK parade make its way down King Street. I’m happy to say that the bitter cold did not seem to affect any of the parade participants or [...]

On the heels of Ms. Johnson’s event last night, we’re gearing up for an even busier weekend. It’s just nuts. And I don’t even have a palm pilot. Tonight: our good friend Samantha Power (I say that because both our Managing Partner and I have a crush on her.) who appeared previously in this blog [...]

Right now, Sheila Johnson, pictured at left, is dining at Fish before her speaking engagement at The William Aiken House. (I recommend the tuna tartare to start and the fried banana cheesecake spring rolls for dessert.) New thought: Several members of the PP staff have joined an arena soccer league that plays on Wednesdays. This [...]
