hank you for reading the summer issue of Fork & Fun, the most comprehensive source of restaurant information for Bluffton and the Hilton Head area.

The Lowcountry is home to numerous restaurants, ranging from secret hideaways to delightful full service high end restaurants. If you want it, we’ve got it. Chefs from all corners of the world have brought the best American, French, German, Italian, Mediterranean, Greek, Asian, Mexican and Southwestern cuisine right here to our paradise.

You can also enjoy regional fare such as local seafood and farm-to-table restaurants. Be sure to wander down to Calhoun Street, especially on Thursday afternoons between 2-7 p.m. when they host the Farmer’s Market of Bluffton. Fresh, locally grown vegetables, fruits, flowers, plants and herbs abound at the Farmers Market, a weekly community event where locals and tourists gather not only to buy excellent produce but also to enjoy delicious food, nearby restaurants, listen to entertainment, and relax with friends.

The beauty of the local dining scene is that there are options for every pocketbook. You can spend $5 on the best pulled-pork sandwich you’ve ever eaten or you can drop $32 on champagne poached scallops sure to please even the most finicky critic. The trick is finding all these great restaurants. That’s where this guide comes in.

NEW RESTAURANTS IN BLUFFTON AND HILTON HEAD

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.

Big Jim’s BBQ, Burgers & Pizza

Big Jim’s BBQ, Burgers & Pizza, the newest restaurant at Palmetto Dunes Resort is named in honor of Big Jim Self. Big Jim’s offers up signature Southern dishes including slow-cooked barbecue and brisket, a variety of gourmet burgers and grilled pizzas plus homemade soups, salads, seafood, steaks and fall-off-the-bone ribs.

Self, one of the founding fathers of Palmetto Dunes, was a big thinker with big dreams. He also had some big-time culinary skills. From his own special barbecue sauce to his renowned Tennessee coleslaw, Big Jim’s recipes were always in demand among family and friends and now the same traditional recipes are offered at Big Jim’s restaurant. With great food, great drinks, great fun and great stories, you can expect nothing less at the restaurant named in his honor.

Big Jim’s is located at 7 Trent Jones Lane, inside the Robert Trent Jones Clubhouse. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Classic breakfast menu served 7-10 a.m. Happy hour is 4-7 p.m. daily. Live entertainment is offered seasonally with daily specials that include Martini Mondays and Prime Rib Wednesdays from 5-9 p.m. Big screen TVs and outdoor seating overlooking the Jones golf course make Big Jim’s the perfect spot to watch sports. Take-out and catering are also available. Call 843-785-1165 or visit www. palmettodunes.com/big-jims for more information.

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

26

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.

Don’t fear the artichoke Enjoy the fresh taste, health benefits of this Mediterranean favorite

By Lance Hanlin

A

member of the thistle family, the artichoke can be an intimidating vegetable to look at.

The immature spiky buds from the dinosaur-like plant have long been a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, used in main dishes, side dishes, appetizers, soups, dips, sauces and more. Here at home, though, many bypass fresh artichoke in the produce section in favor of the canned variety sitting on store shelves.

That decision is based on one of three questions: How do you cook them? How do you eat them? What can you do with them?

With artichoke season in full swing, now is the perfect time to find out.

“You can actually eat a lot of the artichoke, even though it does look quite intimidating,” said Lindsay Martin, a wellness coach and dietitian at Hilton Head Health. “From a nutrition standpoint, it’s exceptionally good for cardiovascular and digestive health.”

Artichokes are a rich source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, potassium and fiber. Plus, they have more antioxidants (believed to fight cancer-causing cells) than red wine or chocolate.

Most are grown in California and the peak season is April through June, when they are widely available in local grocery stores. The edible buds are a tight cluster of individual leaves arranged around a central “choke,” which protects the tender heart of the vegetable. They come in various sizes, ranging from a golf ball to a softball.

“The leaves themselves can be eaten, but you would have to steam or boil them,” Martin said. “Those outside leaves have a pointed end so you need to snip those off before cooking. The most flavorful part, the part most people enjoy, is the artichoke heart.”

To reach the heart, Martin suggests tearing away the outer leaves with a pairing knife until you are left with just the center of the bud. The fuzzy choke sits on top of the heart.

“You actually don’t want to eat the choke,” Martin said. “You want to take a spoon and scrape that out.”

You will be left with the heart, which will be either light green or white in color. Much like an avocado, it will quickly brown after being introduced to air. To bring the natural color back, Martin recommends boiling the heart with a bit of lemon and salt.

Once prepared, the cooking options are endless.

“There is a lot of really good things you can do with them,” Martin said. “We like to use them on fresh pizza and we make a very good spinach artichoke dip.”

You say TOMATO...

I say bring on those summer Southern belles

BY SALLY KERR-DINEEN

S

ure tomatoes are available all year round from various corners of the country, grown in various ways, picked at various times and coaxed into ripeness by various means, but true tomatoes they are not. Let’s face it, it’s not even fair to compare our local grown tomatoes plucked from a sun-warmed vine, pungent in smell and heavy in the hand to their poor relations stuck in the supermarket baskets trying to turn themselves red.

We are spoiled in the summer. Ask any Southerner as I did. Born and bred in the South, my gal-pal Terri wouldn’t let an out of season tomato cross her kitchen counter let alone appear in a salad, pie, tart or sandwich. “A home-grown tomato sandwich reminds me of summer and my grandmother, one slice would cover an entire piece of bread. As kids we’d have her tomato pies and fried green tomatoes until the vines were empty. After being spoiled like that, I don’t even think of eating a hot house fake…ever.” Well there you have it and I agree. When you pitch up to our local farmers markets, in Bluffton and on the Island at Honey Horn, tables are stacked and chocked full of the most stunning shiny skinned heirlooms and hybrids in a tomato rainbow of, red, orange, yellow, green, and violet. Sure these babies lure you in with

their vibrant colors but beauty is more than skin deep.

It’s not only the outside that entices you, it’s also what you get on the inside; flesh that’s a little acidic and a little sweet at the same time.

And it’s no wonder the South produces some of the best specimens, for one thing, our warm humid summers (which wreak havoc on the hair), do provide the perfect environment for vigorous crops. It’s also where the first tomatoes were spotted. In 1710 William Salmon, an herbalist, clearly with a keen eye, spied the first tomato plants right here in what is now South Carolina according to the American Culinary Federation and Clemson University. While it took another two hundred years, or so, before the originally misunderstood tomato transitioned from, primarily, an ornamental plant to one of America’s favorite “vegetables” as declared by the US Supreme Court in 1893 (Nix v. Hedden), I think it’s safe to say that William Salmon could be called the original Lowcountry locavore.

So, if you fancy rosy slices on top of mozzarella, drizzled with olive oil; red, orange, purple and yellow tomatoes chopped in a salad; or a thick beefsteak round on top of that grilled burger; head to our farmer’s markets for the best of the summer’s bounty.

TOMATO TALK SLICING OR GLOBE – perfect for fresh eating like a ‘Better Boy” BEEFSTEAK – large, heavy, used on sandwiches and burgers PLUM – higher solid content than the above so perfect for sauces CHERRY – small round and sweet, eaten whole in salads GRAPE – recent variation of the “plum” or “cherry” and used in salads or Bruschetta HEIRLOOMS – old-fashioned, refreshing flavor, crazy colors and names with a multitude of uses
