Dive bars are comforting to me. There’s no sense of pretention and nothing to worry about, except maybe the cleanliness of bathrooms. (Sometimes you just have to take a chance.) Anyway, I’ve been looking forward to this issue of Charleston Scene for a while because I frequent a lot of the dive bars in the city. I only hope that Moe’s Crosstown, one of the best dive bars in town, opens back up soon. Moe’s, you are missed.

found in “Project Nim,” it’s Terrace, who comes off to this day as aloof and indifferent to the damage he’s done. And yet, there he is, willingly sharing his memories of those years with great detail. Terrace got help from various “mothers”: friends, assistants and teachers who took care of Nim and worked with him from his earliest days. They changed his diapers and dressed him in cute little polyester leisure suits. They concocted games and ran around the yard with him; the sign Nim made up for the word “play,” a quick, single clap of the hands, was his lifelong favorite. Stephanie LaFarge, the woman who first housed him on Manhattan’s Upper West Side with her husband and their seven kids, even went so far as to breastfeed the chimp.

★★★★ (of 5)

DIRECTOR: James Marsh. RATED: PG-13 for some strong language, drug content, thematic elements and disturbing images. RUN TIME: 1 hr. 39 min. WHAT DID YOU THINK?: Find this review at www. charlestonscene.com and offer your opinion of the film.

Bob Ingersoll, who ended up becoming one of Nim’s great champions, even acknowledged he’d rather spend time with the chimp than Jerry Garcia. But like the experiment itself, “Project Nim” morphs from something inspiring and often humorous to a pointed and disturbing portrait of arrogance run amok. Greed and glory end up overriding decency and altruism, and it’s heartbreaking to watch.

Roadside Kitchens

Hitting the blue route for Southern comfort foods BY DEIDRE SCHIPANI

Special to The Post and Courier

n November 2009, the Indigo Road LLC opened 17 North in the location of the former Oink! on U.S. Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant. It was a venture of chef Brett McKee and food and beverage industry veteran Steve Palmer. In 2010, the duo opened 15 North in Charlotte in the space of the former Ole Smokehouse in the historic Myers Park neighborhood. On the drawing board were plans to open a Charleston Road Kitchen location and expand the concept outside the Southeast. As the Roadside Kitchens concept grew roots, McKee took stock of the opportunity and amicably split with Palmer to focus on the RK business model.

Like any concept developed for expansion, the menu has been heavily edited from the early days of 17 North. In May of this year, McKee proudly announced he was “back” on James Island at “Brett’s Roadside Kitchen.” But with the restaurant open only a few months, Roadside Kitchens LLC terminated McKee. The restaurant’s name was changed to “Roadside Kitchen,” and chef Brannon Florie was brought in from 17 North to manage the transition. Daniel Justice is now in the kitchen as executive chef.

feel; possibly because it was not in use at the time of our visit. The outdoor patio’s herb garden contrasts pleasantly with the bright red umbrellas, and the fire pit and cornhole areas will occupy the young and young-at-heart.

On the menu

The menu has been tweaked since McKee’s departure, and the prices have been lowered since its opening weeks. Local and seasonal define the ingredients. Mepkin Abbey oyster mushrooms shape the vegetable Napoleon ($7), Bull’s Bay clams top the ricotta gnocchi ($8), the peach vinaigrette is made with South Carolina-grown peaches and the vegetables are sourced Layout and design from neighboring farms.

Balanced entrees

The entrees will please all appetites. The classic whole fried flounder ($22), fish (cod) and chips ($18), the RK icon of a 12- or 22-ounce smoked and grilled pork chop, a Certified Angus Beef rib-eye ($24) or a simple inhouse ground burger ($12) give props to both the familiar and the comforting. Fried chicken ($14) featured a boneless breast, which our waiter told us was a new recipe. They should have tasted it. The chicken was crisp and juicy but flavorless. The collards were good, the mac and cheese had the right goo factor, but the underseasoned and boneless poultry marred this Southern stalwart. The Roadside pasta ($16) is the menu bargain. I felt like I was eating a bottomless bowl of linguine, grilled asparagus, spinach, tomatoes and pesto cream topped with shrimp. This dish was good and huge. Make it smaller. Overall the kitchen was handicapped in three areas: timidity with seasoning with something as a basic as salt, tepid temperature and huge portions. Across the board, service was slow. And this was not a server issue but a kitchen

Desserts ($5) are made for the restaurant and feature red velvet cupcakes, six-layer chocolate cake, butterscotch brownies and a seasonal cheesecake. We passed.

New media, new menu

The RKs speak to our nostalgia for taste memory created with our families and friends. Tripping the social media machine unites both past and present on a menu for the future. With a little tinkering, the blue-plate specials of road food dining can find a home along the blue routes of the Roadside Kitchen concept.

aul Farrell has been in the food business for a while. But not just making food. “I love throwing parties and hosting events,” he says. “I particularly love events involving food, since we have so much great cuisine in Charleston.” Farrell’s newest event, Rub My Rib, will feature lots of well-known Lowcountry restaurants competing for the title of best ribs. It should be pretty saucy and lots of fun. “We had the Mac-Off last year, which was a huge success,” he says. “Then we had the Get Your Roll On event with sushi in May. I think ribs will be popular, too.” Farrell owns a restaurant on Johns Island, New Moon Pizzeria & Pub. He used to own J. Paul’z on James Island, but caved in to his love for pizza. “But really, these events offer the chance to work with a variety of restaurants, which is what I love,” he says. “I like to include the ones off the beaten path with these events, and from all the areas — Mount Pleasant, John’s Island, downtown.” If you’re wondering how he came to decide on ribs, Farrell thinks that it’s an appropriate end-of-summer fare. “It goes with the last of the warm weather, the beginning of football and it’s something different,” he says. “I have other food events up my sleeve, too.” The competition will take place at the Charleston Maritime Center, and ribs are cooked on-site. It’s free to come to the event if you

at Kearney says the challenge in making his recently released “Young Love” album was “my interest in doing the opposite as before, to be forward thinking and keep people guessing.” From the hip-hop rhythms of some songs to the album cover picture of him without his trademark fedora, Kearney diverged from his critically and commercially successful second album, “City of Black and White,” which contained pop-rock songs with an indie flair. As his first album was written and the basic tracks recorded in his bedroom, Kearney said he felt tremendous pressure in making his second album. “We had money, and this big expensive studio and

South Carolina hip-hop undergoing a renaissance

PROVIDED

Pineville’s Benjamin Starr released his album “The Scorsese Sessions” earlier this year. visit that while gangster rap will always have a place in hip-hop, times are changing: people are looking for lyrics and messages that are more relatable (I agree). Plus, Twin’s desire to work with Righchus not only showed that he understands that concept but that he’s willing to stake his reputation on it. And while I believe that Righchus is leading the Carolina’s movement away from the glorification of thuggin’ in hip-hop, I recognize that he isn’t the only one. So in the spirit things, I wanted to list a couple of Carolina artist who you might want to check out if your music tastes are more Wiz Khalifa than Young Jeezy: OxyMoron: The Florencebased trio of rappers released a mix tape earlier this year titled “My Well Smokes Good.” It still gets plenty of burn in my CD player. Benjamin Starr: Repre-

senting Pineville, Ben Starr is, in my opinion, the best lyricist in the Palmetto State by far. His most recent output, “The Scorsese Sessions,” plays out like a movie that you’ll want to repeat. Nard Dinero: I stumbled on the music of this Columbia rapper recently and have nothing but good things to say about his newest mix tape, “AiRrogant Music.” Stranger Day: Based in Charlotte, his country rap tunes are a mix between Mickey Avalon and Yelawolf. Download his “Bar Stool Bounce” EP to get your party started right this weekend. Of course, there are others, but this is a good starting point for anyone looking for something new and refreshing from a hip-hop artist in the Carolinas! Tweet me (@ H1GHER) if you know of someone else I need to check out.

ecently, I had the opportunity to visit the studio of hip-hop producer and local legend Twin of Twin D1st Century Entertainment. It was a surreal experience. Although I’ve never met Twin before, as a Charleston native and lover of hip-hop, I was familiar with his musical catalog. His instrumentals laid the foundation for the majority of the popular music coming out of the city in the early 2000s, and even today. I’ll never forget where I was the first time I heard Twin’s music. As a second-semester freshmen at South Carolina State University, the blazing horn intro to rapper Pacino Dino’s 2002 track “Dummin’ Out” would be my formal introduction to both Dino’s hard-core lyrics and Twin’s brand of production. Fast forward to our current year: Twin is still making music, Dino is behind bars, and Righchus, a relatively new rapper, who doesn’t rap about selling drugs or living a street life, and I have found ourselves in the same studio where South Carolina club favorites “Shoot Up” and “Addicted to Murder 2” were crafted.

Take a dive

Honorable mentions

Local bars perfect spots to relax after work

BY MATTHEW WEYERS

Special to The Post and Courier

or some of us, the idea of getting dressed up to have a beer is counterintuitive. After a long day, all we want is someplace soft to sit and something cold to drink. This is why we go to dive bars. They give us what we want and they don’t ask us to put on a clean shirt. A dive bar is the place in your neighborhood where all your friends meet to drink cheap beer. It is a place you go to after work but before you make it home. Everybody comes together, just as they are, to tell stories, laugh, catch up and try to find some enjoyment. That’s what makes them special. There are certain criteria a bar must meet in order to qualify as a dive. Dive bars are local establishments. The best ones are always within walking distance. A good dive bar is like an extension on your home. It is the back room where all the odds and ends are kept. It’s full of mismatched furniture, old televisions and maybe even a pool table. It’s where you hang posters on the walls. Some people may assume dive bars are dirty. They are generally clean. Besides, most dive bars serve food, so health inspectors visit regularly. We visited four such establishments for review. There are more than four dive bars in Charleston, but each of these fit a specific geographic location.

New art galleries open downtown popping with vibrant colors. It’s evident from his newest pieces of Charleston-scapes that artist and gallery owner Stephen Kasun already has been bitten by the Charleston love bug. Visit 113 Church St. Call 407-474-0411 or see www. kasunstudio.com.

harlestonians love making new friends. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to some new galleries that have just opened here. With more and more galleries relocating or opening up additional locations here in the Lowcountry, it’s a great sign about how much the Charleston art community is growing. It also may be a sign that the economy is picking up.

Church Street just got a dose of more color with two new galleries, Ingram Fine Art and Stephen Kasun Fine Art Studio. Owners of both galleries have been in the business for years, have thrived in other locations and now have chosen to open their doors here. Ingram Fine Art has a collection of high-end paintings, rugs, antiques and ancient artifacts. Owner Larry Ingram has all kinds of great stories to tell, especially about the artifacts. The gallery is at 111 Church St. Call 577-7047 or visit www.ingramantiques. com. Stephen Kasun Fine Art Studio is next door to Ingram Fine Art. They moved in not too long after the Ingrams did, and it seems both galleries plan on having some great events in the coming months. This will be the second location of Stephen Kasun Fine Art, as they still have a bustling gallery in Savannah. The works here are

Atelier Gallery

The new Atelier Gallery is on Lower King Street. Brenan and Gabriel Egan have been running Atelier Gallery in Asheville, N.C., for years and have opened the Charleston gallery as a second location. There is a variety of works here: paintings, sculpture, pottery, jewelry and more. And items are priced to accommodate different budgets. The Egans have brought with them some of their favorite Asheville artists, but they are looking for more local artists. This is a great opportunity for any local creative types who don’t have their “spot” yet. Visit the gallery with a portfolio. Atelier is at 153 King St. Call 722-5668 or visit www. theateliergalleries.com.

ACE’S ON BRIDGE By BOBBY WOLFF

Sally Brock of England reported this deal, in which she had declaredfourspadesratherthanthe somewhateasierthreeno-trump. Brock was not sure she would be buyingabalancedhandopposite, but did know of the 5-3 spade fit. Againstfourspades,Westledthe club 10. Brock won in hand and played the spade queen, then the ace, followed by a third trump to dummy. Next, she played a diamondtoherking,thenexited with a second diamond, which ran to East’s jack. East switched to a heart. Brock won with the ace and ruffed a diamond, hoping the ace would fall. When it didn’t, she crossed to her heart king and played the diamond queen, discarding dummy’s heart jack. With noth-

ingleftbutclubsnow,Easthadto lead around to the club queen. Subsequently,Brocknotedthat had she started drawing trumps with the spade ace first and the queen second, then when West’s jack appeared, she could have overtaken her queen with dummy’skingandplayedadiamond. Anothertrumptodummywould haveallowedhertoplayasecond diamond and come to 10 tricks more easily. But Brock later considered what might have happened in this variation if West had started with a spade holding ofJ-9-8-2.Wouldn’tdroppingthe spade jack on the second round be a terrific falsecard, tempting declarer to overtake — and create a spade loser where none had existed before?

Don’t sneak snacks into movies

Mozart for the tie breaker D

BY REBEKAH BRADFORD

Special to The Post and Courier

or the second year in a row, Head2Head trivia is celebrating the Mozart in the South Festival, which starts at 7:30 p.m. today at the Cathedral of St. Luke & St. Paul, 126 Coming St., and ends with a finale concert Sunday at Middleton Place. Last week, we had a rare tie between our two contestants, so both Ryan Galloway and Lauren Bridge are back this week to see who will end up the winner. For tickets and more information about Mozart in the South go to www.mozart inthesouth.org

Mozart in the South continues through Sunday.

SANDRA NIKOLAJEVS

EAR ABBY: I go to movies occasionally with my niece, “Connie,” and her two kids. Although the theater has a sign “No Outside Food or Drinks Allowed,” Connie sneaks in snacks in her oversized purse. I’m not talking about a couple of candy bars; she brings bags of candy, chips and cans of soda. While I agree with my niece that the price of refreshments is outrageous, I also believe it’s the theater operators’ prerogative to set prices and policy. I suggested Connie skip the snacks during the movie and take the kids out for ice cream afterward, but she said she didn’t want to “deprive” them. When I offered to pay, she said it wasn’t about the money, it was “the principle,

DEAR ABBY

and besides,” everybody else does it.” I feel my niece is teaching her kids it’s OK to break rules you find inconvenient as long as you can get away with it. I’d love your opinion. — PAYING FOR MY POPCORN IN OREGON DEAR PAYING: Your thinking is spot on. Your niece’s behavior is dishonest, and children model their behavior on the example set by their parents. Connie’s excuse that everybody does it is a cop-out. Because “everyone” does something doesn’t make it right.
