Fiddlehead Pizza is the only pizza restaurant in Beaufort County that is “Certified South Carolina – Fresh on the Menu,” meaning it uses at least 25 percent of local products or ingredients. Owners Stacey and Darren Macioszek say they are close to 45 percent local. The decor of the restaurant is from here as well, painted and designed by local artists. About the only thing that isn’t true to South Carolina is the unique crust, which originated in Naples, Italy. With a blend of two different yeasts and microflora, it has a bubbly look, a slightly tangy flavor and can be covered with red or white sauces. With six cold taps, Fiddlehead Pizza offers an ever-changing selection of draft beer, many from South Carolina breweries. The restaurant has also quickly developed into a hotspot for live music, starting at 8 p.m. each Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The party continues until the last customer leaves. Kitchen hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday.

W I N E Many diners enjoy having wine with their meals. We have described some of the more popular wines served in our area. Most popular wines are named for the type of grape used to make them, or for the geographic area in which they are made.

White Wines Chardonnay

Chardonnay produces a superb wine that is rich, complex and well-balanced. It takes nicely to judicious aging in oak barrels, a practice that gives a pleasurable “toastiness” to the wine. It has a distinctive aroma sometimes resembling hazelnuts, vanilla or acacia. The most noble grape in the world for dry white wine, the Chardonnay is responsible for all of the great white Burgundies—Meursault, Montrachet, Pouilly-Fuissé and Chablis among them. It is one of the grapes used in Brut Champagne and the only grape used to make blanc de blancs Champagne.

Chenin Blanc

A grape capable of making wines that range from bone dry to very sweet. Chenin blanc retains through all its versions a well-defined fruitiness, often suggestive of pear. Its high degree of acidity gives it a pleasant crispness. As a sweet wine in Vouvray, it can live a long life. In California, it tends to be at its best at an early age. The major white grape of the middle Loire Valley, Chenin blanc produces Vouvray and other white wines of Touraine and most of the white wines of Anjou. It is also known in France as Pineau de la Loire.

Gewürztraminer

This white grape yields a pungent, spicy wine with hints of strong floral aromas such as those of dried rose petals. It is made as a dry, off dry, sweet and very sweet wine. In all versions, Gewürztraminer leaves a nip of bitterness in its aftertaste. An important grape in France’s Alsace region, Gewürztraminer is also grown in small amounts in Germany.

Pinot Gris

Pinot gris makes a full-bodied, study white wine that is often a bit low in acidity. It has an assertive, rather spicy aroma. In the United States, Pinot gris is grown commercially only in Oregon. In France, it grows in Alsace where, until recently, it was labeled Tokay d’Alsace. Now under a new French law, it is called Pinot gris or Tokay Pinot Gris. The grape also grows in Germany where it is known as Ruländer and in northern Italy where it is named Pinot grigio.

Pinot Blanc

Pinot blanc is closely related in taste and aroma to Chardonnay, although subtler, usually firmer and slightly more tart. This grape is grown mostly in Alsace and in southern Germany where is known as the Weissburgunder.

Riesling

Riesling is capable of producing wines with an extraordinary balance of sweetness and acidity. It has an aroma of fresh flowers in youth and a more subtle perfume in maturity. Riesling can be dry or it can produce some of the world’s greatest naturally sweet wines, strong in apricot and peach-like perfumes and as rich as nectar. The finest grape of Germany, Riesling also flourishes in Alsace and in Austria.

Sauvignon Blanc

This is an extremely aromatic grape with distinctive flavors of herbs, grass, bell peppers and occasionally, olives. At times it can also carry somewhat smoky undertones. Also labeled Fume Blanc in California, this is an important white grape in France, where it is blended with Sémillon to produce all of Bordeaux’s white wines—from dry Graves to sweet dessert wines of Sauternes. It is also the grape of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé in the eastern Loire Valley.

Red Wines Cabernet Sauvignon

A grape of great character, the Cabernet Sauvignon produces elegant wines with austere flavors often reminiscent of tea or olive leaves, currants or herbs. It tends to be tannic in its youth, to mature slowly and to live long. This superb and noble red grape is largely responsible for the great clarets of Bordeaux, particularly those of the Médoc and Graves areas.

Merlot

Similar in flavor to Cabernet Sauvignon but softer and fleshier, the Merlot also tend to be less tannic. The Merlot will mature sooner than a Cabernet Sauvignon. A distinguished red grape of Bordeaux, Merlot is softer blended with Cabernet Sauvignon in the Médoc and Graves regions, to give softness and grace to the more austere Cabernet. In the Pomerol and St. Emilion areas of Bordeaux, it is the main grape producing a rich, silky wine.

Pinot Noir

The best Pinot noirs are wines of incomparable depth and harmony. Their aromas have been described as reminiscent of violets, cherries, leather, peppermint and truffles, while their textures have been likened to satin and velvet. One of the world’s greatest grapes, the Pinot noir produces the glorious red wine of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, as well as all other red Burgundies, which are made solely of Pinot noir. It is also the leading grape of the Champagne region.

Syrah

Syrah grows in France’s Côtes du Rhône region, where it is the exclusive grape of red Hermitage, the major grape of Côte-Rôtie, and one of the grapes used in Châteauneuf-duPape. Syrah makes a deep-colored wine that is rough and highly tannic and peppery in its youth, but which can mature to a big, generously velvety wine. It is generally long-lived.

Zinfandel

The most widely planted red grape in California, Zinfandel is extremely versatile. All styles of wine have been made from it, from fruity young wines to fine table wines, heavy port-like wines and the currently popular blush wines. In any disguise, its basic raspberry-like flavor usually shines through.

Bluffton offers much more than just good places to eat. In fact, some of the area’s best attractions can be found right here on the mainland. Here is a list of our favorite things to do in Bluffton:

Explore the May River

Shop ‘til you drop

Find the sandbar

Tour Rose Hill Mansion

Whether it’s kayaking, sailing, shark fishing or just relaxing on the bank, the May River is overflowing with fun things to do. Go on a dolphin excursion or book a shrimp trolling adventure. Access the river via the Alljoy Boat Landing, located at the end of County Road 13. Looking for the hottest spot in Bluffton? For more than 50 years, it has been the May River Sandbar. The pristine island made of sand surfaces at low tide. It used to be a locals-only type of hangout but word has spread. “Redneck Riviera” is the place to be. Launch from the landing at the Bluffton Oyster Factory.

Get in 18 holes

Bluffton is home to some of the top public and private golf courses on the East Coast. Play Arnold Palmer’s Crescent Pointe or Davis Love III’s Eagle’s Pointe. Other Bluffton favorites are Hilton Head National, Pinecrest, Old Carolina, Old South, Hilton Head Lakes, Hampton Hall, Island West and Rose Hill. Nearby Sun City also has three courses open to the public. Most Bluffton courses are in great shape year-round.

The people of Savannah, Ga., have two giant malls and countless other shopping options in their own city, yet many choose to shop here on weekends. New Bluffton has many popular shopping centers along U.S. 278 while Old Bluffton has numerous one-of-a-kind type of places. Talk a walk through one of the most beautiful plantation houses in the Lowcountry. Originally built in the late 1850s, the Rose Hill Mansion is full of period furniture and memorabilia from original owner James Brown Kirk. The cost is $25 and reservations are required. Tours are at 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 843-757-6046 for more information.

Watch the Bobcats dominate

Bluffton is home to one of the best high school football teams in the state. Upcoming home games are Sept. 21 vs. rival Hilton Head Island, Oct. 5 vs. regional power Beaufort High, Oct. 19 vs. Fort Dorchester and Oct. 26 vs. Colleton County. There will also be a few home playoff games, for sure. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. at the high school stadium, located 12 H.E. McCracken Circle.

Vitamin-rich kale has long been a staple of southern cuisine but is gaining world-wide popularity for one simple reason -- it’s one of the healthiest foods you can eat. While all unprocessed vegetables are good for your health, kale offers a few added benefits, protecting against several cancers while lowering cholesterol. “It’s basically the closest relative to wild cabbage,” said Lindsay Martin, a wellness coach and dietician at Hilton Head Health. “It’s considered one of those cruciferous vegetables, which have been shown to have numerous health benefits.” Kale comes in eight variations and is available at most local markets and grocery stores year-round. Look for a rich green color with no wilting, brown spots or yellowing leaves. It’s very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein and zeaxanthin. While it is grown more wildly in Europe and cooler climates, kale can thrive in our sub-tropical environment with frequent watering. Along with the health benefits, some of the vegetable’s rising popularity can be attributed to its versatility in the kitchen. “You use it like you would spinach,” Martin said. “If you’re new to trying it, I would recommend taking out the big, long stem that runs through the middle. You can eat it raw or you can sauté it with some garlic and a little bit of olive oil. It’s great with pasta, salads and soups.” Many recipes including kale can be found on the Hilton Head Health blog, www.H3daily.com.

Thanks to the droves of visitors that come during vacation season, Bluffton and nearby Hilton Head Island have more than 300 restaurants to choose from. Here is the skinny on recently opened establishments. Annie O’s Southern Eats

Longtime island resident and chef Tom Egerton has opened his first restaurant, Annie-O’s Southern Eats. After 10 years with Crane’s Tavern and most recently Muse restaurant in Charleston, Tom has returned to the island and opened his southern-style eatery, featuring his take on southern classics and comfort foods like meatloaf and gravy, buttermilk fried chicken, and new takes on shrimp salad and eggrolls, along with family favorites like Susie’s Potatoes. Other favorites are the chicken biscuit, fried catfish, crab cake club, spinach salad, burger and wings. All desserts are homemade and include treats like coconut cream pie to round out the deliciousness. The down-home decor here includes galvanized buckets turned into light fi xtures, a curved wooden bar that invites customers to get comfortable, and cloth-covered tables that extend a hospitable southern welcome to diners. The restaurant is named after Tom’s mother, Anne. He thought it fitting to recognize the person responsible for sparking his interest in cooking through her formidable talents in the kitchen. Annie-O’s features all homemade, from-scratch dishes in a casual setting that will leave you satisfied and won’t break the bank. It offers a kids menu, dine-in and take-out options, and also has a full bar. Annie-O’s is open Monday-Saturday, serving continuously from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. It is located in Chase Center on the corner of Target and Arrow roads. For more information, call 843-341-2664.

Fiddlehead Pizza

Think global, eat local. Fiddlehead Pizza is the only pizza restaurant in Beaufort County that is “Certified South Carolina – Fresh on the Menu,” meaning it uses at least 25 percent of local products or ingredients. Owners Stacey and Darren Macioszek say they are close to 45 percent. The décor of the restaurant is from here as well, painted and designed by local artists. About the only thing that isn’t true to South Carolina is the unique crust, which originated in Naples, Italy. With a blend of two different yeasts and microflora, it has a bubbly look, a slightly tangy flavor and can be covered with red or white sauces. With six cold taps, Fiddlehead Pizza offers an ever-changing selection of draught beer, many from South

Bullies BBQ

The best barbecue restaurant in Medina, Ohio, has opened a second location on Hilton Head Island. Bullies BBQ owners Tammy and Bob Sutton are confident their award-winning smoked ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket will eventually be just as famous here as they are back in the Snowbelt. “We’ve only got five items on the menu and they’re all great,” said Bob Sutton, who cooks all the food himself. “We’re giving a different-sized portion than what people are used to down here; a healthy portion for a reasonable price.” A pulled pork or a pulled chicken sandwich will set you back $5.50. The brisket sandwich costs an extra quarter. Bullies also offers jumbo sandwiches and dinner plates with french fries, cole slaw and jalapeño cheddar cornbread. Other sides include mac and cheese, Carolina cole slaw and kickin collards. Items are slow-smoked over hickory and mesquite woods on the Suttons’ jumbo-sized smoker and can be topped off with one of four original sauces. Sutton also sells his Memphis-style rub, which took more than 20 years to perfect. The rub and all the sauces can be purchased separately for $5.99. Counter service ensures a much quicker dining experience than the other sit-down barbecue restaurants on the island. You can find Bullies BBQ at 3 Regency Parkway on Hilton Head Island, next to the Red Roof Inn. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call 843-686-7427 or go online to www.bulliesbbq.com.

Carolina breweries. The restaurant has also quickly developed into a hotspot for live music, starting at 8 p.m. each Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The party continues until the last customer leaves. Kitchen hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday. The restaurant’s name was inspired by the edible sprout that comes from the fiddlehead fern. It opened in March and has already developed a strong following of repeat customers. “The reaction has been hugely positive,” Darren Macioszek said. “I get it from both customers and purveyors. Everybody that talks about our place is raving about it. I think our product definitely speaks for itself.” For more information, call 843-757-6466 or go online to www.fiddleheadpizza.com.

Fusion

Chef Anish Gopinath was born and raised in South India, where he attended culinary school. After working as a pastry chef, he furthered his culinary education in France, learning French, Italian, German, Australian, Jamaican and American cuisine. He is able to combine the best of all these worlds, using precise pastry-cooking techniques to meld together amazing fl avors in new and exciting ways. While Anish specializes in fusion cuisine — which means the fusing together of diff erent fl avors and ingredients from diff erent regions and cultures — his business partner, Franklin Jayakumar, specializes in tandoori cooking. Anish and Franklin knew each other in India before either embarked on a culinary career. Th e restaurant just acquired a new tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven used for tandoori cooking, and Franklin puts it to good use. Fusion’s menus are eclectic and include such items as chickpea soup, a turkey BLT wrap, chicken tikka masala with rice, shrimp and crab pappardelle pasta, shrimp vindaloo, saag paneer, chicken biryani, orange-infused duck breast, Chicken Chett inad, and Austrian apple strudel. Any description here cannot do these extensive menus justice; you just need to check Fusion out for yourself. If you want to try many items for one price, try Fusion’s buff et, Friday-Saturday, 5-10 p.m. Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., and dinner is 5-10 p.m. Th ere’s also a Happy Hour daily from 5-7 p.m. Fusion off ers an extensive wine list and a variety of beers, including three Indian labels: Taj Mahal, Kingfi sher and Flying Horse.

New York City Pizza

Here’s more good news for folks who enjoy pizzas, subs, calzones, and entrées such as pasta, chicken and veal parmigiana! Popular New York City Pizza has opened a second island location not far from the bridge to the mainland. New York City Pizza serves an excellent selection of authentic New York–style pies, plus thin crust, thick crust, Sicilian and just about any style of pizza patrons might desire. The extensive menu also includes salads large enough for two, panini (classic Italian sandwiches, much like subs), calzones, veal, chicken, pasta and more. Pizza aficionados take note! All pizzas are made from scratch, dough and sauces are made fresh daily, cheese is ground fresh daily, and bread for panini is baked fresh daily. In summary, even though its name is New York City Pizza, both the new and existing New York City Pizza restaurants offer both excellent pizza and many traditional offerings of a classic Italian restaurant. Like its South Island sibling, the new New York City Pizza offers a warm, friendly atmosphere and attentive service. New York City Pizza “takes pride in our product, and you can taste it,” they say.

Ombra Cucina Rustica

A new upscale Italian restaurant has opened in the Village at Wexford. Longtime local Italian chef Michael Cirafesi has branched out with distinguished Philadelphia chef Nunzio Patruno to open Ombra Cucina Rustica. “All executive chefs want to eventually open their own restaurant,” Cirafesi said. “We all have that dream. We follow the rules of classic Italian cuisine. We will be set apart by our standards and who we are.” Cirafesi started cooking in 1987 under Patruno, who was considered one of the top Italian chefs in the country. The two have completely remodeled the building where Antonio’s was located, creating an environment similar to

Okko

The owners of Asian Bistro in Orleans Plaza have created a modern, contemporary haven for Japanese and Thai food aficionados at the new OKKO restaurant on Mathews Drive. OKKO’s upscale atmosphere echoes the beauty of Japanese simplicity and balance, with sleek glass, beautiful woods, and a mix of subtle warm and cool hues throughout. Speaking of warm: Fire is a masterful, if fleeting, centerpiece at the six hibachi tables. The hibachi area is enclosed by glass doors so that guests in the main dining area can enjoy the sights without having the pleasing-yet-powerful scents and sounds interrupt their own culinary experiences. The restaurant also features outdoor seating, a stylish bar and lounge area that accommodates 30 people, and two private rooms. One of the private rooms accommodates eight people, and the other, 14. Large groups are welcome and are encouraged to call ahead. OKKO is one of the only hibachi restaurants on the island, and is open for lunch as well as dinner.

Th e Island Bagel Company has a new owner. Mark Stone took over the popular island breakfast and lunch spot, which also has a location in Blufft on. He is expanding the extensive pastry selection but has no plans of fi xing Hilton Head’s only bagel shop, considering it was never broken to begin with. “Everything else is prett y much the same because it was all good before,” Stone said. Customers can still fi nd New York-style boiled bagels in 16 fl avors each morning. Menu highlights are the Lowcountry Breakfast Sandwich, which is bacon, egg and cheese on your choice of bagel; and the in-store roasted hand-pulled turkey sandwich with bacon, provolone and cream cheese on a hoagie. Top off your bagel or sandwich with one of seven homemade varieties of cream cheese. Signature sandwiches, soups and salads, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Seatt le’s Best Coffee and Wi-Fi internet access are also available.
