RED FISH SEAFOOD & WINE by ANTHONY DAVID

Red Fish specializes in cuisine where an eclectic blend of seafood, steaks, fresh local fruit and vegetables are combined to make delectable American, and Lowcountry specialties. A contemporary black-and-white décor ensures that the focus is directed on the food and thanks to its sound-absorbing paneling, Red Fish is a refreshingly quiet restaurant. It’s easy to enjoy a relaxed conversation. Redfish’s new chef, Charles Pejeau, created a menu which features colorful steak and seafood, which can be prepared “naked” – grilled with olive oil, lime and garlic. Delight in Chilean sea bass with wasabi cream and soy glaze, ribs basted with a guava-orange barbecue sauce, shrimp and grits, or a vegetable strudel baked in a phyllo crust. The restaurant has an extensive wine list that has won Wine Spectator’s “Best of Award of Excellence.” Diners may browse the on-site retail wine shop, which boasts more than 1,000 bottles to choose from. Enjoy the wine with your meals or take a bottle home. Voted Best Wine Selection, Favorite Restaurant for Lunch, Best Burger, and Favorite Caterer by the readers of Hilton Head Monthly. Private dining room for large parties. Live music every Wednesday. Dine indoors or outdoors. Gluten-free items offered as well as a children’s menu. Monday to Saturday. Dinner, 5-9 p.m. 8 Archer Rd.

From 1925 until 1990’s, 1700 acres of nearby creeks and wetlands were harvested and their yield brought to a one-story concrete building located directly under the restaurant. After canning, the oysters were shipped all over the Lowcountry bearing the appellation of the Broad Creek Oyster Factory. Today, this iconic waterfront dining destination has stunning views of the Lowcountry on Broad Creek.

While they do have mouth watering steaks, there are so many other delicious options to choose from. From burgers, pasta dishes, sandwiches and more. My husband had the blackened grouper and said it was the best one he’s had on the island! And that’s saying a lot because we are not really fish people.

The corn on the cob was awesome and buttery sweet. We love this place.” Another online reviewer said Big Jim’s was well worth a visit. “We’ve stayed in Palmetto Dunes many times and Big Jim’s will now be a part of our vacation plans,” the review said. “We ordered chicken nachos, chicken tenders, sweet chili shrimp with Caesar salad, Rib dinner, Pepperoni pizza, and grouper dinner.

ST R EET M E E T THE AMERICAN TAVERN by ANTHONY DAVID

If you’re looking for a home-away-from-home style experience, stop in to Street Meet for lunch, dinner, or late night. Featuring “Sidewalk Sandwiches from America’s Favorite Street Corners™” Street Meet specializes in homemade versions of regional American bar food. They were voted: People’s Choice Awards Best Bar 2015, Island’s Best Hot Dog. It’s the place to go for the best wings, fish & chips, homemade soups, salads, and seafood. They also offer a vegetarian menu, power bowls, a $8 lunch menu, and happy hour & early bird specials. A tasteful selection of American whiskey and Bourbon sits on their liquor shelves and American craftbrews are at the forefront of the beer they serve.

Street Meet also caters. There are daily specials and a full bar. Continuous service from 11:30 a.m. Kitchen open late. Port Royal Plaza (behind McDonalds), North end, Hilton Head Island, 843-842-2570, www.streetmeethhi.com.

As a small business owned and operated by a sister-brother (and his wife) team, Street Meet feels there’s nothing more American than their vision. They take pride in their connection with the veteransassistance foundation, Honor our Heroes, and consistent charitable donations to the community in which we live. Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, owner Carey Basciano welcomes football fans and ex-patriots from Ohio to the home of the Cleveland Brown Backers. The NFL team issued a charter and the certificate hangs behind the bar. And with the help of a Backer Tracker app, fans looking for a great place to watch the Browns play find old and new friends at Street Meet. They expanded into the adjacent space in spring of 2016 and commissioned a colorful graffiti mural by well-known artist Blake Shockley. Street Meet offers live music and fund raising opportunities that give back to the community. Looking to take a bit of Street Meet home with you? Take-out is available and they also offer local and Browns Backer apparel and online ordering beginning March 2020.

LULU KITCHEN FRESH FOOD. VIBRANT DÉ É E COR. WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE. by ANTHONY DAVID

Lulu Kitchen is ready to tantalize your taste buds. Owner and chef Scott Hastings and general manager Danny Pustovit have brought a vibrant and beachy feel to Hilton Head Island.

pan-seared scallops and blackened chicken tagliatelle which features house-made pasta. Savory desserts include Death by Lemon or Chocolate Souffle. Hastings said he had the Lowcountry’s hot summer months in mind when concocting the delectable lemon dessert.

Located at Fresh Market Shoppes on Hilton Head, Lulu Kitchen offers fresh ingredients combined with an eclectic seasonal menu. Lulu is adorned with bright, welcoming colors and a laid-back atmosphere. The décor includes royal blue booths and seating for 40 inside and 60 outside.

“It’s definitely something refreshing,” he said. Along with Sunday brunch favorites, Lulu Kitchen offers the freshest Lowcountry oysters, May River Crab Bruschetta and a Spicy Crispy Shrimp Loaf, to name a few.

“Our goal is to make sure the guests are satisfied,” Hastings said. “We want to have a place people want to come back to.”

“I want every guest of ours to experience what we have created – exquisite food and drinks, exceptional service, warm and relaxed ambiance,” Pustovit said. “We want you to forget your worries and enjoy yourself and your loved ones each time you step through the door of Lulu Kitchen.”

Hastings has a long history in the restaurant business. He started working as a young pot washer at a restaurant in The Hamptons in New York. There he developed the desire to be in the kitchen and create exquisite meals. After stints as a sous-chef and an executive chef Hastings and his wife, a Hilton Head native, Jennifer, decided the time was right to move South and open a place in the Lowcountry. With the help of Pustovit, Lulu Kitchen debuted in March.

Lulu Kitchen, named in the memory of the Hastings’ beloved dog, plans to be an integral part of the community. Hastings said the eatery expects to donate to charities and has collaborated with the Art League of HHI to display art from Lowcountry artists. “Having this place is going to be second to none,” Hastings said.

The menu offers a variety of American favorites with a touch of Southern flair. With a ‘Farm to Table’ concept in mind, Chef Scott handpicks the freshest available produce and proteins. The entrees include a New York strip steak,

IT’S LIKE MAGIC

Sallie Ann Robinson reflects on food memories she shared with her family.

FORKANDFUN.COM

S ALLIE A NN R OB INSON

FA M ILY FOOD

MEMORIES BY J E S S I C A FA RT H I N G The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t slowed Sallie Ann Robinson down. Those who know her aren’t sure that anything could. With a tour company on Daufuskie Island, three Gullah cookbooks, a volume on Daufuskie history with Jenny Hersch and whispers of a Netflix special in the works, she doesn’t seem to have time to sleep. But she’s a woman on a mission, one who seems fueled by the efforts of her ancestors to treasure their remote island. Robinson, a sixth-generation islander, attended school on Daufuskie through eighth grade. She moved off-island to nearby Savannah for her teenage years. While in Savannah, she began to yearn to go back home to the quiet island life. When she made her way back to Daufuskie, she arranged to live in one of the Gullah cottages, educating and cooking for guests. She’s worked tirelessly ever since to raise money to repair other historic homes for the families to preserve the Gullah history and culture despite development. “That’s my goal right now,” Robinson said. “Leaving a legacy for the generations to come.” Part of that legacy is the food memories that she shared with her family. Everything was sourced on the island, with little waste. Gardens were grown by the house in the verdant, unspoiled soil, full of cucumbers, watermelon, greens, cabbage, okra and tomatoes. “You could smell that richness, even in the tomato vine. We would pluck them off and bite into it,” she said. “People say they taste like butter, but I feel it’s like magic.” Sallie Ann’s mom grew her own garlic and peppers for seasoning, keeping the food foremost in her meals with minimal seasoning, only a little salt and pepper. They were organic gardeners by default, using wood ash from the stove to dust leaves to prevent bugs.

Seafood was caught straight from the ocean that flanks the island, into the pot the same day. Fish, crab and shrimp were integral parts of the Gullah dishes on Daufuskie, and of course, Sallie Ann’s parents and grandparents knew the spots to find fat, briny oysters. “Taking crab straight from the ocean, boiling them and opening them up, the taste buds are at a different level,” she says. The woods provided wild game, also cooked or preserved immediately. There were plentiful wild plums on the island as well, red and yellow versions able to be picked ripe from the trees. Breakfast might be anything from fried crab, smothered shrimp and grits or bacon or ham cured from the pig that was raised and killed. Grits was always present for the morning meal and eggs from the chickens in the yard were plentiful. The whole family worked to grow, harvest and prepare each meal. Lunch might be a brown paper bag filled with a fish or ham sandwich. “Honey, that was the bomb,” Sallie Ann says. Sallie Ann recognizes the value of a meal that hard work produced. “The joy of a belly full soothes your soul with its richness. It makes you whole. All of the hard work, the meal made it seem like it was well worth it. It was beautiful.” Those from-scratch creations made Sallie Ann respect food and the process that filled her plate. It also gave her the basis for a long career educating visitors through their stomachs. She cooked Gullah food at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Arts and appeared on the Food Network and Georgia Public Broadcasting. At night, when the stars come out without any distraction of city lights, she takes a minute to reflect. “I go outside and thank God for every moment.”

also tempt. A full breakfast menu is available. Other options include fluffy omelets and savory quiches. For lunch, try a panini made with lots of avocado, sundried tomatoes, portabella mushroom, feta cheese and pesto on rustic Italian bread. The chicken salad, made of tender chicken breast mixed with mayo, honey, dried cranberries, celery, and pecans can be served in a wrap, croissant or salad.

Locally roasted by Ian Duncan at The Grind as well as King Bean Coffee Roasters in Charleston, high quality coffee is the base for the drinks at this attractive shop. A favorite is the Aloha Latte—iced or hot-- made with vanilla, coconut and mocha. The friendly staff offers free refills available on regular coffee.

In good weather, sit outside under an umbrella on the pet-friendly patio. Inside the café is a children’s corner with a chalk board, toys and books. The restaurants also serves a selection of mimosas, Bloody Marys, wine and coffee cocktails.

Many pair their drink with something sweet. Classic sticky buns - topped with brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts—are fantastic and homemade muffins, turnovers and donuts

Known as the Islands’ “go to” breakfast spot, Palmetto Bay Sunrise Café’s menu offers traditional breakfast and lunch items with a Hilton Head twist: eggs benedict (homemade hollandaise sauce), the best smoked salmon bagel, she-crab soup, shrimp and grits with gravy, and crab cakes. There are variations of eggs Benedict, including city ham, crab cake, smoked salmon or shrimp and spinach. Quiches and stratas along with biscuits and gravy, pancakes, French toast and omelets. Specials offered include blueberry cream cheese and country fried steak.

“Definitely a great place for breakfast,” a TripAdvisor review said. “I even took home my leftovers and I don’t think that I’ve ever done that for a breakfast. I was there early (6:30ish) and it was obvious that many customers come frequently and have become friends. Great good, great atmosphere.” Both breakfast and lunch items are available continuously until closing. The cafe specializes in to-go lunches for charter boats, the beach or any other occasion. Due to covid-19, they are temporarily open Wednesday to Sunday 6am – 2pm Palmetto Bay Marina, South end, Hilton Head Island, 843-686-3232, palmettobaysunrisecafe.com.

SIGNE’S BAKERY CAFÉ LANDMARK EATERY.ISLAND TREASURE. by EDWARD THOMAS

Located on a side road between Sea Pines Circle and the Cross Island Bridge, Signe’s Heaven Bound Bakery Café is not on Hilton Head Island’s beaten path. But it’s definitely worth discovering. Generations of vacationers and residents swear by it – nearly 50 years of them, in fact. Back in the early days it was a favorite stop for Heritage Classic golfing greats and such tennis superstars as Billie Jean King, Evonne Goolagong, Chris Evert and Tracey Austin. As described by the New York Times: “Signe’s Café is a restaurant with food that is as healthful as the climate and activities on Hilton Head Island.” Unpretentious in nature, this eatery has garnered both local and national celebrity status for its expansive, unconventional menu and fanciful, low-key décor. Signe’s has been featured in Southern Living and Bon Appetit as well as “CBS Sunday Morning” and The Food Network.

IL CARPACCIO NOTHERN ITALIAN INSPIRED CUISINE by CAROL WEISS

Dining at Il Carpaccio on Hilton Head Island can feel like stepping into a storied and elegant past, an experience that goes beyond the menu. Starting with the antipasti and continuing through the zuppe, pasta, carne or pesce, each dish here is made from scratch with the freshest available ingredients.

Back in the kitchen, Campos works his magic from antipasti to zuppe, creating myriad pasta options, from fettucine Alfredo to spaghetti pirate with chopped shrimp, clams and mussels, hearty meat and fish dishes including veal, calamari and shrimp, and, of course, countless variations on Il Carpaccio’s savory pizza. Use the warm bread that the attentive wait staff keeps filling in the basket at your table to soak up the delicious sauces. Portions are generous, special accommodations are cheerfully made for allergies.

Specializing in northern Italian-inspired cuisine and pizza cooked in an open, hard-wood burning oven imported from Modena, Italy, this favorite Hilton Head Island restaurant was founded in 2001 by Maurizio Colla and Eddie Campos. Colla was the former maître d’ and Campos the chef at the iconic but now-closed Neno’s Italian restaurant. Colla, who visits many tables personally, relishes describing the offerings to patrons — It’s “like reciting poetry or reading an excerpt from a good book. Service, he says, “is not about delivering plates but providing a culinary experience.”

Serving lunch 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner starting at 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday; closed Sunday. 200A Museum Street, Hilton Head Island. Call 843-342-9949 for reservations. ilcarpaccioofhiltonhead.com

CR A N E’S TAV ERN A FAMILY TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE by CAROL WEISS

Crane’s Tavern and Steakhouse on Hilton Head Island has a pedigree that goes back for more than a century. Frank Crane, an immigrant from Ireland, founded Crane’s Tavern in Philadelphia in 1908 and ran it until forced to close during Prohibition.

seafood and pasta dishes, including jumbo lump crab cakes, sashimi-grade tuna steaks, Lowcountry shrimp, lobster tail and more. The extensive selection of wines, both domestic and international, received an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. With its crisp white tablecloths, oldEnglish bar and rich, warm, heart-of-pine floors, the tavern is known for its cozy, comfortable, casual atmosphere and outstanding service.

After the restaurant reopened in 1933, his sons and a grandson continued to operate the tavern into the 1970s. His son Hank worked at the original tavern until 1969, when he opened a Crane’s Tavern north of Philadelphia, then bought and renamed the Surf City Hotel on Long Beach Island, N.J.

“It is our desire to offer our customers an experience in prime,” say the owners.

In April 1999, Hank and his daughter Beth-Anne Crane, great-granddaughter of the founder, opened the restaurant on Hilton Head. More than two decades later it remains a go-to destination for lovers of steak, seafood and fine wines.

Crane’s has a children’s menu. Dinner served nightly from 5-10 p.m., including a multi-course early-dining menu from 5-5:45 p.m. 26 New Orleans Road. 843-341-2333 for reservations. cranestavern.com

MEXICAN / SOUTHWESTERN

Santa Fe Café is the only place on Hilton Head Island to find authentic Southwestern cuisine, and nothing is more representative of this favorite locals’ eatery than a bowl of painted desert soup. Made from red pepper, corn, Mexican cream and mole, it’s a feast for the eyes and palate. Regional dishes plus traditional Mexican recipes are the stars of the menu at this vibrant, refined restaurant with a New Mexico look. Santa Fe Café’s rooftop cantina is the eatery’s most popular spot throughout the year. Live entertainment on the rooftop every Tuesday through Saturday. The cantina’s a kiva fireplace and white pine, custom-designed bar— make this romantic and inviting space perfect for having a drink and enjoying some appetizers. Marshall Sampson and Sean Crosby are the owners of Santa Fe Café, which has been bringing islanders and visitors the flavors of the American Southwest for almost 25 years. Sampson runs the front of the house and Crosby is behind the scenes focusing on the food. Every year, they re-fresh the décor. The result is a visually-pleasing atmosphere that welcomes diners inside. Some choose to sit at the chef’s counter to observe the restaurant’s open kitchen where a skilled team prepares signature dishes including mesquite grilled lamb chops; grilled pork tenderloin with smoked habanero BBQ sauce; chipotle-parmesan encrusted grouper; and Santa Fe Café’s famous ribeye burrito.

Colla was the former maître d’ and Campos the chef at the iconic but now-closed Neno’s Italian restaurant. Colla, who visits many tables personally, relishes describing the offerings to patrons — It’s “like reciting poetry or reading an excerpt from a good book. Service, he says, “is not about delivering plates but providing a culinary experience.”

NUNZIO RESTAURANT & BAR INNOVATIVE ITALIAN FARE by CAROL WEISS

Nunzio Restaurant + Bar burst onto the dining scene last year on Hilton Head Island and is the talk of the town. The beautifully renovated space on New Orleans Road is owned by Nunzio Patruno, who currently owns New Jersey restaurant Nunzio Ristorante Rustico, which was reviewed by The New York Times and other media outlets. “Adulation of fresh vegetables and seasonal ingredients may seem cutting-edge, but Nunzio Patruno grew up cooking this new old-fashioned way years ago, and he has the loyal hordes to prove it,” the New York Times article says.

The menu features both traditional and innovative seafood dishes and homemade pasta, as well as lighter fare. Popular main course elections include veal chops, branzino and halibut, exquisitely prepared and beautifully presented. Starter standouts include lobster bisque and diver scallops. The dessert menu features tiramisu, cannolis, cheesecake and other crowd pleasers. The staff answer patrons’ questions knowledgeably, and the wine list represents Italian and Californian selections curated to compliment the menu, at various price points. On pleasant evenings, the outdoor tables are filled with local and visiting diners of every age and nationality, enjoying each other’s company and a delicious meal.

The same could be said of his new restaurant on Hilton Head Island, which embraces the culinary traditions of the Puglia region in Southern Italy, where the Patruno family is from.

Reservations suggested. Happy Hour is from 4-6 p.m. with 20 percent off selected appetizers, cocktails, wines and beer. 18 New Orleans Road, Hilton Head Island. 843-715-2172 or nunziohhi.com. 84

STEL L INI JERSEY-STYLE ITALIAN ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND by ANTHONY DAVID

Stellini, the self-proclaimed “Jersey-style” Italian restaurant tucked among the pines off Executive Park Road on Hilton Head Island, has been family owned and operated since Joe Pesce opened Stellini Italian Restaurant in 1989. Since then, his daughter Elise and her husband, Kyle Parlagreco, have built a loyal following among locals and visitors.

Curbside Takeaway and Carryout Available

“Great food, consistency, service and family are the heart and soul of a restaurant,” Elise said. “Kyle, myself or my dad are always on premise, and our executive chef Larry Schneider has been with us for 18 years.”

All entrées served with pasta and house salad. Caesar salad add $4

The restaurant’s traditional Italian recipes come from the Pesce and Schneider families. Signature dishes include zuppa di pesce, rigatoni bolognese and pesto tortellini. Other standouts are crabmeat ravioli, mozzarella-stuffed meatballs, lamb shank osso buco, and veal saltimbocca. Innovative nightly chef specials also are offered, and the popular three-course early bird menu includes an appetizer, house salad and entrée with a choice of house wine or a soft drink.

$19.95 Three Course

Elise makes the majority of Stellini’s desserts. In the fall and winter, she features a panettone bread pudding — an Italian Christmas sweet bread traditionally made with candied fruit and raisins — served with a creamy Amaretto sauce. The restaurant’s famous cheesecakes are offered year-round; the pumpkin cheesecake runs through fall, spring’s offering is a ricotta cheesecake, and in the summer, blueberry cheesecake takes center stage.

CLASSIC FRENCH BISTRO CUISINE by ANTHONY DAVID

Comfort and familiarity are at the root of Chez Georges Bistro & Bar.

accents, including a French onion soup with oxtail. The bouillabaisse has housemade seasoning.

Owner George Casalicchio believes a bistro is essential to the heartbeat of a community, as much as a post office, a library or a bank.

The wine list is predominantly French, Casalicchio says, because French wine is specifically meant for food. “What the French do best is pair wine with food,” he said. “Our wine is meant to drink now and often.”

It’s why his bistro aims to offer a gathering place for families, friends, and neighbors on the South End of Hilton Head Island.

Casalicchio has had an affection for bistros since he was a kid. His father owned a bistro on Long Island in New York and when he was 8 years old his grandparents took him to a restaurant in Paris.

Casalicchio wants a dining experience that celebrates the community. “It doesn’t matter the day or the occasion, it’s a constant,” he said.

“A bistro has always been a huge part of my life,” he said.

Located at the former spot of Casey’s Sports Bar, Chez Georges serves traditional bistro staples such as steak frites and mussels mariniere, incorporating fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Open Monday — Saturday at 4:30 pm Sunday Brunch from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm. Reservations highly recommended. 37 New Orleans Road, Suite J, Hilton Head Island. 843-785-3200. chezgeorgeshhi.com.

The seafood is always fresh and perfectly prepared,” an online reviewer said. “The atmosphere is cozy, definitely unpretentious, and casual.” Room for dessert? Try three varieties of key lime pie or a sweet potato cheesecake. “Unanimous choice for best seafood on our trip,” an online reviewer said. “In fact, one of our kids made three visits (once just for the key lime pie). Reasonably priced, super casual and very good quality.”

UNDER $20 SELECTIONS

Cuvee Vaux: This sparkling wine from Germany checks all the boxes for quality. It is made from biodynamically farmedestate fruit from a winery that dates back to the 1880s. It is made in the traditional Champagne Method by a committed cellar master, a young woman named Maike Maria Münster. The Cuvee gets its creaminess from Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir, while maintaining crispness from Riesling and Chardonnay. Bertolani Lambrusco Rose:The Bertolani winery is more than a century old and continues to win awards for this DRY Rose Lambrusco that pairs with an entire meal from appetizer to dessert. Also, wildly enjoyable on its own. It is a sparkling wine every wine lover should experience for themselves.

$20-$50 SELECTIONS

Villa Crespia Franciacorta Brut: If you are in the market for something with a little complexity, I suggest Fanciacorta (Italy’s method traditional sparkling wine). The Muratori family has always been deeply rooted in the Franciacorta territory and Tenuta Villa Crespia cements this bond and passion of the family to their homeland. Since its birth, Villa Crespia has always been focused on the exclusive production of Franciacorta, with grapes from the family-owned vineyards. Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs: Schramsberg, Napa’s sparkling winery, dates back to the 19th century, when German immigrant Jacob Schram first made his home and started his winery on Diamond Mountain. Jack and Jamie Davies restored the Schramsberg estate in 1965 and set out to produce America’s most prestigious sparkling wine.

OVER $50 SELECTIONS

Hidden Bench 2013 Natur:I have tasted few dry wines from Canada, but this is one of them. I was pleasantly surprised. This wine exhibits notes of toasted brioche, dried almond and hints of citrus. The generous midpalate, body, intensity and structure lead to flavors of fresh orange and an autolytic character. Champagne Mousse Fils L’or D’Eugene: This Champagne is unique because it is made from mostly Pinot Munier, which is made using perpetual reserve. Imagine two barrels, one full and one empty. You transfer half of the full barrel to the empty one so both are at 50 percent. Then you add half of the new harvest in each barrel. You’ll bottle one of the tanks and keep the other to start again next year. Winemaker Cedric uses this method to strike a masterful balance between the freshness of the new vintage with the complexity and depth only “old wines” can bring.

Southern COMFORT

FOOD STAPLES INFUSED WITH TASTE, TRADITION AND HISTORY by Vickie McIntyre

Nothing evokes comfort and bliss better than Southern cuisine. Chefs and critics agree that every mouthful, from lowly to lofty favorite, is infused with taste, tradition, and history. Take the deviled egg. The origins of this dish date back to ancient Rome. English settlers brought it to our shores, using the term “deviled” to note the addition of hot spices. DeepSouthDish.com applauds Southerners for their variations of this party staple and encourages the sprinkling of everything from horseradish to caviar to add a bit of flourish.

in cornmeal and frying it became commonplace. Take your pick from local oysters, shrimp or catfish. Tuck them into crusty bread slathered with sauce and you’ve got yourself a Po’boy, long considered a rite of passage.

temperature,” making you feel good, safe, comforted and loved.

For something lighter, there’s always fried green tomatoes — juicy on the inside, yet crispy on the outside. Only rule: Thou shalt never serve them soggy.

Authentic meals are a blend of local ingredients, specific techniques, and “a peculiar mindset about flavor,” says Damon Lee Fowler, commentator on Southern cooking. Tossing a bag of pre-cut greens into a recipe that calls for basil doesn’t make it “Southern.” For collard greens with pot liquor (the broth after cooking), Fowler says it’s the ritual of cleaning and prepping each individual leaf, rolling those leaves like a cigar before cutting them crosswise, and cooking them slowly that makes them so deliciously distinct. Throwing in a bit of salt pork does wonders, too.

Never overlook “the pâté of the South,” otherwise called pimento cheese. Pair this creamy delicacy with thin, crisp cookies known as Benne Wafers and you’re Southern to the core. Benne is the Bantu-word for sesame, which came to our shores from Africa in the 1700s, along with other crops like okra, eggplants, black-eyed peas, and watermelon. Olde Colony Bakery of Charleston has been selling this staple since 1940, which according to legend, brings good luck after eating. “Southerners know how to do food right,” says EatThis.com, which translates to preparing things the old-fashioned way so flavors can seep through the entire house, luring the hungry to scorch their mouths on everyone’s favorite – just-cooked fried chicken. Every local grandma knows the real secret to fixin’ this iconic dish is using a wellseasoned cast-iron skillet. Add a bit of creamy milk gravy and you have quintessential “good ole comfort food.” During the Depression, coating anything

But beware: the instant, unbuttered variety is an old remedy for getting rid of unwanted guests.

Wash everything down with sweet tea. Proper protocol deems it appropriate for all meals and all ages, even toddlers. The staple that stands alone is grits. Served as meal or accompaniment — with or without combinations of eggs, shrimp, or cheese — locals never tire of its various incarnations. Rick McDaniel, author of “Irresistible History of Southern Food,” says it produces a “warmth that transcends 114

“Recipes that endure” sums up the philosophy at SouthernLiving.com. Their collection of desserts is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth below the Mason-Dixon line. Everything from Ambrosia, a simple combination of fresh fruit, sugar, and grated coconut, is as popular as Hummingbird Cake, a three-layer confection graced with bananas and pineapple that has remained the company’s most requested recipe ever. For an old standard, choose the gooey goodness of pecan pie (“Pa-kawn,” if you’re wondering). The nuts, which are plentiful from September to November, could be deemed a national treasure. Devour any one of these Southern favorites and, as the saying goes, “You’ll be grinnin’ like a possum eatin’ fire ants.”

A MIGOS KILLER BURRITOS AND MORE by ANTHONY DAVID

Authentic Mexican taqueria, serving delicious food “inspired by Mexican cuisine from the Gulf Coast of Baja, Mexico, to the beautiful seaside community of Santa Barbara, California.” Owner Andrew Farbman created Amigos’ famous BBQ Chicken Salad. Amigos uses the finest ingredients possible. Amigos’ salsa bar features a variety of salsas from fresh chilies. Enjoy a “Holy Taco,” “Killer Burritos” or “Grateful Quesadillas.”The atmosphere was perfect for a TripAdvisor reviewer: “Loved the cozy atmosphere and the decor — one could sit and idle away hours here, just sipping beer and staring at the walls! Those meals! Super fresh and absolutely GINORMOUS. None of us could finish what we’d ordered and took about 2/3 of it home as leftovers. My taco salad with chicken was one of the best Mexican salads I’ve ever had. Will definitely return.” Another TripAdvisor reviewer lauded the authenticity. “The food is very good. The portions are large so sharing is an option. Steak Burrito is my personal favorite. This is more your authentic little Mexican joint, not an Americanized chain restaurant. Reasonably priced. This is one of the spots we dine at every trip to Hilton Head Island.” Quick, casual, healthy food served in a friendly and helpful manner. Open for lunch and dinner. Full bar. Carry-out is available. Happy hour Monday-Saturday. Best margaritas outside the Baja. We hope you enjoy our food as much as we enjoy making it.

Chez Georges Celebrating the community

LUlu kitchen now open

Fresh ingredients combined with an eclectic seasonal menu are at the forefront of Hilton Head Island’s newest eatery. The menu offers a variety of American favorites with a touch of Southern flair. With a ‘Farm to Table’ concept in mind, Chef Scott handpicks the freshest available produce and proteins. Crab cakes and lobster mac and cheese get you started. The entrees include a New York strip steak, pan-seared scallops and blackened chicken tagliatelle which features house-made pasta. Save room for savory desserts such as Death by Lemon or Chocolate Souffle. Along with Sunday brunch favorites, Lulu Kitchen offers the freshest Lowcountry oysters, May River Crab Bruschetta and a Spicy Crispy Shrimp Loaf, to name a few.

Comfort and familiarity are at the root of Chez Georges Bistro & Bar. Owner George Casalicchio aims to offer a gathering place for families, friends, and neighbors on the South End of Hilton Head Island. “It doesn’t matter the day or the occasion, it’s a constant,” he said. Located at the former spot of Casey’s Sports Bar, Chez Georges serves traditional bistro staples such as steak frites and mussels mariniere, incorporating fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Owner and chef Scott Hastings said he had the Lowcountry’s hot summer months in mind when concocting the delectable lemon dessert. “It’s definitely something refreshing,” he said.

Dishes at Chez Georges incorporate Lowcountry accents, including a French onion soup with oxtail. The bouillabaisse has housemade seasoning.

Located at Fresh Market Shoppes on Hilton Head, Hastings and general manager Danny Pustovit have brought a vibrant and beachy feel to Hilton Head Island. There’s seating for 40 inside and 60 outside.

The wine list is predominantly French, Casalicchio says, because French wine is specifically meant for food. “What the French do best is pair wine with food,” he said.

“I want every guest of ours to experience what we have created – exquisite food and drinks, exceptional service, warm and relaxed ambiance,” Pustovit said.

HAPPY HOUR

COMEDY MAGIC CABARET IS GOOD, CLEAN FUN By Tim Watson Kerry Pollock walks on stage at Comedy Magic Cabaret on Hilton Head Island like he built the place — because he did. Pollock’s passion for both comedy and magic lured him away from his original career as an engineer, one gig at a time. Pollock is gifted at crafting jokes and illusions — and the settings where performers present them. His half-bowl, 88-seat club in the South Island Square shopping center feels like a classic jazz club; there’s not a bad seat in the house. Corporate events, private parties and celebrations of life have taken place in this homey, intimate space. In addition to setting the stage for laughter and amazement on Hilton Head, Pollock has built stages and performance spaces for others in the entertainment industry. Audiences at Comedy Magic Cabaret have grown about 20% since the club opened, as word spread across the Lowcountry and beyond about Pollock’s “Funny Not Filthy” entertainment. Much of the credit for the club’s success belongs to his wife, Kelly, who is a breath of fresh air, tirelessly working the front and back of the house. Many guests become repeat customers — and close friends of the couple. Friends and fans are quick to sing Pollock’s praises. Among them are Rich and Janice Ross, who have also seen him perform at The Magic Castle nightclub in Hollywood. “The other comics told us that no one interacts with an audience better than Kerry,” Rich Ross said. As Hilton Head guests enjoy the show, they can also order food and drinks — Comedy Magic Cabaret serves simple Southern cuisine with a twist: pork and chicken sliders, paninis, and a variety of desserts. Signature cocktails include The Daufuskie Hurricane and Kelly’s Favorite. The menu also includes a wide selection of beer, wine and soft drinks.

The Pollocks recently upped the magic with a new addition to the club, an intimate “Backstage” Close-Up magic show seating only 12-16 guests for a unique personal experience. They will also be offering the same aboard their 61’ yacht “MAGIC”. An optional upgrade includes a pre-show dolphin cruise with hosts Kerry and Kelly. Comedy Magic Cabaret is located in South Island Square, 843 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island. When facing the shopping center, Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar is in the front left corner and Comedy Magic Cabaret is in the back right. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and shows start at 8 p.m.; for just a few extra dollars comedy fans can sit a little closer to the stage to increase their chances of becoming “volunteers” during a performance.
