Remember when we talked about fast food becoming the new cigarette?  Well, I read an article in today’s New York Times that reminded me of that conversation and made me chuckle.  In our quest to become healthier (read: skinny) in this nation, we somehow just keep getting less healthy (read: fat).  Some politicians have taken [...]

Since the EOS Estate Winery dinner at Fish last week, I’ve been troubled by my wine knowledge…or lack thereof.  Why don’t I know more about wine? I’ve eaten in some of the best restaurants in the United States and I write about food and chefs.  I drink wine every single time I go to dinner, [...]

Two things in life are certain, I’ve been told: death and taxes.  Well, I’m not dead yet, but I have filed my taxes.  Yes, dear readers, it’s tax day….a day that many of us dread and fear and loathe.  I hate to sound un-American about the whole thing, I really do.  I appreciate that I [...]

I’ve decided to spend today discussing my hatred of airplanes, airports, and all things aviation related.  Everyone who knows me well knows that I hate to fly.  I hate flying so much that I drive to New York, I drive to California, I drive anywhere that isn’t separated from me by an ocean.  There are [...]

Today I read a post on the Huffington Post by Marcus Samuelsson, chef extraordinaire from Aquavit in New York City.  In the article he discussed his Swedish heritage and the techniques that he learned from his family’s kitchen.  He notes that he never would have imagined that those same techniques would now be so trendy [...]

I went to the season opener of the Charleston Riverdogs last night. It was lots of fun until I got rained out in the 8th. Notice I wrote that “I” was rained out. I have no idea if the game was rained out and I have no idea who won. I [...]

I read a really fascinating blog post about pimento cheese on The Amateur Gourmet today.  Pimento cheese has never really been a favorite of mine, but the combination of pictures, descriptions, and recipes that were posted actually made me crave this bizarre orange food. The writer claimed that as a child he hated both cheese and [...]

On this day in…. Today my iphone informed me that on this day in 1888, Thomas Green Clemson died and bequeathed his estate to the State of South Carolina, establishing Clemson Agricultural College. Now I know there’s a ton of Clemson and University of South Carolina rivalry that exists in our state, but we aren’t going to [...]

The Cooper River Bridge run kicked off Friday with a luncheon at Lowndes Grove.  Though it was a little windy (think Twister), it was nothing that our staff couldn’t handle and the event went off without a hitch.  The table settings were lovely, the food was delicious, and we were fortunate to host the elite [...]
