The Town That Has It All

Hilton Head Island has everything: Beautiful beaches. World-class golf courses. Award-winning restaurants. Wonderful weather. But Hilton Head Island is more than just the scenery and tourist attractions. Hilton Head is also about the people, its history and its year-long appeal. Locals embrace our waterways 12 months a year, including public marinas, fishing piers and boat launch sites. You are always within a short drive from a marsh, river or the Atlantic Ocean. If you don’t want to drive everywhere, that’s OK, because the island has more than 60 miles of biking trails. Of course, Hilton Head is a great place to unwind and relax. Hilton Head has it all.

OLD OYSTER FACTORY WAT E R F R O N T D I N I N G

he Old Oyster Factory was built on the site of an original oyster cannery. 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. Voted one of the “Top 100 Scenic View Restaurants’’ and “Top 50 Kid Friendly Restaurants” in America by OpenTable, the Old Oyster Factory specializes in fresh seafood but includes landlubbers’ favorites such as filet mignon, ribeye and brick chicken. Their Sunday brunch menu can be enjoyed on the spacious back deck or dining rooms both with coastal views. The addition of O.O.F., an expansive oyster bar, brings The

Reilley’s new menu items and specials, made with fresh seasonal ingredients, really shows off their culinary experience far beyond your average bar food. As one reviewer states, “ We stayed a weekend on Hilton Head and ate at many great restaurants, but this was by far the best. The beer was COLD (very important) and food was great. I had the sesame salmon, by far the best. My boyfriend had the fish tacos. I wish I could remember our waiter’s name because he was very kind and quick. The food came fast and the price point was great for what we had. If we visit Hilton Head again, we will be back!” With a sophisticated warm ambiance, family-friendly atmosphere, this Island institution is where you can enjoy nightly specials, mimosas at Sunday brunch or casual drinks and bar menu food with friends over a game on one of the many TVs. (Voted Island’s Best Sports Bar) There is a large, spacious covered patio and bar which features live music almost every night during the season. (Check their website for the music lineup.)

THE STATE’S OFFICIAL FOOD IS THE PERFECT SOUTHERN CUISINE STORY BY CARRIE HIRSCH Grits are the official state food of South Carolina. “A man full of [grits] is a man of peace,” the General Assembly declared in 1976. They continue to be a mainstay in Lowcountry home kitchens and restaurants. Grits are made from either yellow or white ground corn, typically from less sweet, starchy varieties often referred to as “dent corn.” Historically, grits were served as breakfast food, but the reputation of the classic shrimp and grits has shifted it more toward a main course. The secret ingredient to making the best grits, both home cooks and professional chefs agree, is a healthy dose of patience. If you are not already a grits purist, stone-ground grits are the ones to prepare for the true experience, as this variety is the least processed, has a prominent texture and retains the most corn flavor. “Quick” and “regular” grits are finely ground, which allows for less cooking time and have a longer shelf life. However, the nutritional value is impacted due to this processing. The “instant” variety is processed, precooked then dehydrated, which takes out any art in the cooking process – by the mere act of adding hot water, they are ready for consumption and what purists would simply call disappointment. However, grits made with water are lower in calories and fat; plain grits seem to cry out for milk, butter, spices, herbs and shrimp.

The rule of thumb is that any variety that is not whole grain contains less fiber, vitamins and minerals. Grits have a versatility, unlike potatoes, rice and some other grains – anything tastes delicious on hot, buttered grits and soupier dishes with gravies and broths work especially well since they serve to keep the grits both moist and warm. “Grits are a common thing —it’s just a breakfast food to go with anything fried,” says native islander and Gullah preservationist Louise Cohen, who hosts the annual Ol’ Fashioned Gullah Ooman Breakfast as part of the annual Gullah celebration. Every year, visitors wait in line at the Cherry Hill Schoolhouse across from the St. James Baptist Church on Dillon Road for a homemade breakfast of hot grits, served with fried whiting, shrimp, oyster gravy and biscuits. Cohen’s personal preference? “Whatever kind of fish. We couldn’t be choosy about the type of fish when we were coming up - whiting, mullet, bass, whatever…if you feel like adding some gravy too, you’ve got stewed mullet and grits.” And when asked about how long to cook her grits, she said: “I don’t know because we don’t time things.” That response sums up the art of cooking grits. Timers are overrated when it comes to cooking grits. And a good tip about stone ground grits: keep cooking them and add more liquid, stir occasionally, until they are thoroughly cooked, typically well exceeding the package directions.

HINCHEY’S CHICAGO BAR & GRILL

ome of the Notre Dame Club, the Pitt Club and the Sunset Rotary. Hinchey’s has been a locals’ favorite for twenty-five years on Hilton Head. Great place to relax, to talk, watch the game, and have a drink, sandwich or a meal. Their fried grouper sandwich is an area favorite. Their Tuesday night All-You-Can-Eat-Crab-Legs is not to be missed. Family owned and operated since 1996, the spacious location in the Circle Center next to the new Celebration Park on Hilton Head Island has a great sports memorabilia display, with a private dining room for special events. One recently satisfied customer had to say - “Hinchey’s was recommended to us by one of our neighbors and it did not disappoint. My husband’s club sandwich was huge and he said

Dine inside or out. Lunch and dinner is served seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Early dining specials from 4:30-6:00 p.m. Happy hour 4-7 p.m. seven days a week. 46 SP RIN G 2022 F O R K & F U N

it was really good. I had the nachos and they were excellent. Huge serving and brought the rest home to enjoy later. Lots of locals make this their go to place to meet and share a few with theirs friends. The waiter greeted many of the couples by name and knew their drink orders. We will definitely go back.” Though Hinchey’s has much in common with a sports bar, it is very much a restaurant and the perfect spot to meet family and friends for lunch or dinner. Their extensive menu has something for everyone, featuring Chicago specialties like Italian Beef Sandwich and local favorites including the Crab Cakes. Many vacationers make Hinchey’s their first stop on their return visits to Hilton Head Island and their last stop on their way home.

LUCKY ROOSTER KITCHEN + BAR

cross the spectrum of great restaurants that call Hilton Head Island home, Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar stands apart from the pack. Gleefully dancing between fine dining and good old fashioned Southern goodness, the guiding philosophy at Lucky Rooster has always been to simply take the comfort food you know and give it a culinary makeover. “It’s still Southern Americaninspired food, it’s just prepared in an elevated way that brings out the quality,” said owner David Leffew. “We are focused on providing an amazing dining experience that is both fun and approachable.” Aiding in that approach is executive chef David Landrigan who came to Lucky Rooster from upscale Savannah eatery Circa 1875. A classically trained chef, he’s been carrying on the restaurant’s signature style, adding his own subtle (and enormously delicious) spin on each dish. Lucky Rooster offers brunch, lunch and dinner six days a week. The result is a restaurant that stands apart, yet never stops reinventing itself. Now you don’t have to wait until Sunday to enjoy a Lucky Mary with the famed Buffalo chicken benedict, traditional French omelet with Gruyere or steak and eggs. “It’s something not a lot of people are doing on the island,” said Leffew. “We love the atmosphere here, especially with live music on the patio. Whiskey Wednesdays at the bar, special dining events and regular happy hours.”

Tues.-Sat. 11:30 a.m. -10 p.m. Sun. 10:30 a.m.- 10 p.m. Closed Monday.

And as someone that makes smoothies several times a week - theirs are worthy. You won’t be disappointed.” Another reviewer praised the eclectic menu. “I enjoyed one of their great wraps.

CRANE'S TAVERN A FA M I LY T R A D I T I O N O F E XC E L L E N C E

rane’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. 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. 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.

Dinner served nightly from 5-10 p.m.

64 SP RIN G 2022 F O R K & F U N

Crane’s serves only USDA Prime grade beef, including its famous prime rib, as well as a wide array of fresh fish, seafood and pasta dishes, including jumbo lump crab cakes, sashimigrade 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, old-English bar and rich, warm, heart-of-pine floors, the tavern is known for its cozy, comfortable, casual atmosphere and outstanding service. “It is our desire to offer our customers an experience in prime,” say the owners.

Reasonably priced, super casual and very good quality.” Sea Shack was voted one of South Carolina’s best seafood spots by Coastal Living magazine in June 2011. Voted “One of South Carolina’s Best Seafood Spots” Southern Living Sept 2012.

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.

86 86

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.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND Sands. Surfing. Swimming. Sunning. Shores. Sailing. Sanctuary. Whatever your vision of the “beach life” may entail, the sun-splashed beaches of Hilton Head Island offer as many experiences as there are shells on their sandy shores. From its heel to its toe, here’s an overview of some of the island’s popular beaches and hidden gems.

10 9

7 6 1

92 SP RI NG 2022 F O R K & F U N

4 92

1. SOUTH BEACH

Best For: Unique water sports opportunities (kayaking, sport fishing, parasailing, etc.), sightseeing and walking. Located in Sea Pines at the “toe” of the island near the South Beach Marina. Calibogue Beach is relatively quiet, nearly secluded, and is great for just watching the dolphins or a relaxing walk. If you are not a Sea Pines resident or registered guest, you must pay $8 per vehicle to enter the resort. Access: Near Sea Pines South Beach Marina, best accessed by bike or foot. $8 per vehicle to enter the resort.

2. SOUTH FOREST BEACH

Best For: Swimming, fishing, biking and walking. Part of Hilton Head’s “Ocean Community,” South Forest Beach is on a one-mile stretch of beachfront between the Coligny Circle and Sea Pines Plantation gate. It is the largest of the island’s public beaches, and draws more crowds than North Forest Beach. Wide, comfortable and spacious, and buffered somewhat from nearby development, it’s a great all-purpose spot. Venture a little further away from the public access point that divides the north and south beaches, and you’ll find even more room to spread out. Access: Public access on Alder Lane and Seaside Villas, off South Forest Beach Road.

3. COLIGNY BEACH

Best For: Everybody. Perfect for sunbathing, swimming, biking, an early-morning jog or a romantic date night. At Hilton Head’s busiest beach you’ll find soft sand and wonderful clean water. Even better, it’s close to the island’s unofficial downtown area. The beach is protected by security cameras and visitors can enjoy free Wi-Fi, volleyball nets, scores of beach rentals and free parking — park at the beach parking, not Coligny Plaza. The beach and the shopping plaza do get a little crowded, but if you like an active and lively beach experience, this is your spot. Access: At Coligny Circle, at the intersection of Pope Avenue and South Forest Beach Drive.

4. NORTH FOREST BEACH

Best For: Swimming, walking and surfing Located near over 100 dining and shopping options in one of the island’s oldest neighborhoods. For surfers, the beach area at Jacana Street is known to offer some of the best waves at high tide on the island. Locals swear by the shoreline as the best on Hilton Head, and the quaint mix of older beach cottages with modern ocean compounds makes for a compelling community feel. Access: The one-mile stretch of beach starts at Coligny Circle and runs north to the Sonesta Resort located in Shipyard Plantation.

5. BURKES BEACH

Best For: Surfing, boarding, walking and pets. Located to the northern side of Chaplin Community Park, Burke’s Beach is adjacent to Singleton Beach, divided by the natural folly field. The beach offers seasonal lifeguards and limited parking, but boasts

some of the best waves for surfing and boarding. The dog park at Chaplin Park is a nice touch and makes it a great destination for a bark-and-beach day with man’s best friend. Access: Just south of Palmetto Dunes at the end of Burkes Beach Road.

6. DRIESSEN BEACH

Best For: Day trips, swimming, sunning, locals and in-the-know. A long boardwalk connects the maritime forest to the white-sand beach. A long, wide shoreline leaves ample room to spread out, and the flat ocean floor and small waves make it kid-friendly and great for body boarding or just wading. Tucked in a heavily shaded and wooded area, it’s a bit hard to find, but with tons of amenities like parking and restrooms. Access: Off William Hilton Parkway, at the end of Bradley Beach Road.

7. FOLLY FIELD BEACH

Best for: Surfers, walking and biking. A bit off the beaten path from the plantations and resorts, Folly Field has more of a locals’ beach feel. With a shorter walk to the beach than nearby Driessen Beach, it is both convenient and quiet. Take a long walk and grab a pit stop and a drink at the outdoor bar at the nearby The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. Access: Located on Starfish Road, a right turn off Folly Field Road.

8. ISLANDER’S BEACH

Best for: Locals and swimming. A favorite of locals, Islander’s Beach recently earned a high ranking in Coastal Living magazine’s Top 21 Beaches on the East Coast. It’s less crowded than most Hilton Head spots and swimmer-friendly, thanks to its gentle underwater slope. Parking is at a premium and is mostly reserved for residents and year-round pass holders. Access: Located at 94 Folly Field Road, at Sparkleberry Ln.

9. FISH HAUL CREEK BEACH PARK

Best For: Privacy, fishing, walking. Many locals consider this beach Hilton Head’s best-kept secret. Adjacent to Barker’s Field, this beach park (formerly Mitchelville Beach Park) was recently renamed. It’s not for swimming, but is great for beach-combing, hunting for sharks’ teeth and digging for clams. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road, on Mitchelville Road.

10. HISTORIC MITCHELVILLE FREEDOM PARK Best for: Walking, birdwatching, clamming & fishing.The public beach access at this historic site is located on the “heel” of the island. It boasts 31 acres of mostly untouched nature, feels like your own private beach and is arguably the scene for the best bird watching in all of Hilton Head. The beach itself is a generous walk from the park. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road. F O R K & F U N SPRING 2022 93

BIRDS

of Birds AN ISLAND

BY JOHN BLOOMFIELD AND BOB SPEARE, PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY MEMBERS OF HILTON HEAD AUDUBON

Birding is one of America’s favorite leisure pastimes. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, more than 45 million Americans watch birds, whether in our backyards or in a local park or farflung destination. The good news is that on Hilton Head Island, you don’t have to go far to enjoy great-looking birds. You just need to step outside. More than 220 bird species have been observed on Hilton Head, and fall migration is a great time to see them. Northern Cardinals, Carolina Chickadees

104 SP R IN G 2022 F O R K & F U N

and Carolina Wrens grace our feeders all year long. Along our shorelines and marshes you’ll find colorful wading birds like our Great Blue, Little Blue and Tricolored Herons. If you’re lucky, you might spot a Roseate Spoonbill, a large pinkand-white beauty with a comical bill that looks like a cooking utensil. Among the smaller shorebirds on the beach, you might find an endangered Piping Plover. Shorebirds are hard to pick out in a crowd, but you may recognize this one when it’s moving about. It’s little

to be sure, but stocky for its diminutive size. Its bill looks like a little piece of candy corn and its orange legs stand out from the other sandpipers and plovers, whose legs are mostly drab. Only 8,400 Piping Plovers remain in the world, but you can find up to a dozen on our beaches in the fall and winter, some with colorful bands on their legs to mark where they came from. The bands were put there by scientists studying the migration patterns of this species. As the heat of summer slowly gives way to cooler dawns and dusks, our woods come alive with the sights and sounds of migrating warblers. Some have obvious names like the Yellow-Throated Warbler or Black-and-White Warbler. Others require a little studying, like Northern Parula or American Redstart, which isn’t always red. Warblers generally like it up high in the trees: you can get a sore neck looking for them, but these colorful songbirds are well worth the effort. Birds are tightly woven into the fabric of Hilton Head Island; the more we get to know these amazing creatures, the better we can ensure that they remain an important part of our community for generations to come.

BEST BIRDING SPOTS

The Lowcountry offers plenty of opportunities to spot birds. Try these prime viewing destinations: Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge: Fourteen miles of walking and biking trails through a range of coastal habitats — a must for wildlife photographers. Sea Pines Forest Preserve: The largest tract of undeveloped land and the largest open freshwater ponds on Hilton Head Island. Mitchelville Freedom Park and Fish Haul Beach Park: At these adjacent locations, birders are treated to three important natural ecosystems — maritime forest, salt marsh and the beauty of Port Royal Sound. Audubon Newhall Preserve: Fifty acres of interconnected trails and a quiet oasis when the island is busy. Jarvis Creek Park: Relaxed birding along a 1.1-mile loop trail through forest and pond edges.

ISL AND TIME

DAUFUSKIE

time

GET AWAY FOR A DAY ACROSS THE WATER BY JUSTIN JARRETT | PHOTOS COURTESY OF HAIG POINT

Just a couple of miles across Calibogue Sound from Harbour Town lies Daufuskie Island, a small, largely undeveloped barrier island. A 45-minute ferry ride up the Intracoastal Waterway whisks visitors back in time when, depositing them on Daufuskie — accessible only by boat — and a world away from the trappings of modern-day life. Daufuskie, steeped in history and drenched in natural beauty, is divided into two distinct worlds — the private Haig Point community, where cars are prohibited and residents access top-notch amenities by golf cart or bicycle, and the rest of the island, virtually undisturbed for decades. Native American artifacts are frequently unearthed on the island’s beaches, including arrowheads and pieces of centuries-old pottery. Haig Point is mostly for members only, but the club does rent rooms in the historic Strachan Mansion and the Haig Point Lighthouse (rumored to be “eternally occupied” by Maggie, the former keeper’s daughter). A horseback ride via Daufuskie Island Trail Rides, one of the few places in the country where you can still ride horses on the beach, is always a unique experience. Living here also means a chance to play a round on the club’s renowned Rees Jones signature golf course. On weekends during the summer, Freeport is the place to be: It’s where visitors hop off the ferry and gather to eat and drink at the Old Daufuskie Crab Company, dance the day away to live music, play cornhole, and hit the public beach that looks across Calibogue Sound toward Hilton Head. The area near the marina is something of a town center, with a general store, a few cottages for rent, and a handful of shops.

108 SP RING 2022 F O R K & F U N

The main mode of transportation is via a golf cart or bike — which are perfect to explore the island. And there’s plenty to explore along Daufuskie’s dirt roads. A number of unique galleries dot the island. Most notable among them is the Iron Fish Gallery, where Daufuskie Island resident Chase Allen — who has sold more than $1 million worth of art — produces metalworks in an open-air studio and accepts payments on the honor system when he isn’t present at the gallery. Daufuskie is a haven for art lovers, inlcluding Daufuskie Blues — located in the famed Mary Fields School, where author Pat Conroy taught in the 1960s — where organic indigo harvested on the island is used to create stunning and unique fashions. The school is also home to School Grounds Coffee, but if you are looking for something a little stronger the island will oblige. Silver Dew Winery is a great spot for a tasting. There’s the museum inside the old Bloody Point Lighthouse and Daufuskie Island Rum Company, where its locally distilled spirits have been served to visitors from every U.S. state and 64 countries. The distillery is located next to a quaint pond, where visitors sometimes enjoy a picnic lunch. If you’re not the do-it-yourself type, you can book one of a number of tours, including one led by Daufuskie native Sallie Ann Robinson, who was Conroy’s star pupil in “The Water Is Wide.” Life on Daufuskie isn’t for everyone, and its full-time residents have a saying: “We’re all here because we’re not all there.”

BLUFFTON SOUTH CAROLINA

Small Town Big Reputation

Bluffton is booming. The town has grown from one square mile when it was first incorporated to 54 square miles today. The town’s development exploded, bringing business and families to the Lowcountry — and it gave Bluffton its own identity. There are shopping centers along U.S. 278, schools and athletic fields along McCracken Circle and dining and entertainment keep Calhoun Street and the Promenade vibrant. Even though Bluffton is growing, it is still a small town, with a neighborly feel. You’ll know your neighbors. You’ll enjoy their company and enjoy peace of mind. The restaurants offer an eclectic mix of options, from fresh seafood to pub fare. The town serves some of the freshest dishes in the Lowcountry. Old Town is still the place to explore. A unique spot for a variety of experiences, Old Town features artisan shops, art galleries and fantastic eateries. Old Town also includes the pre-Civil War Church of the Cross and the antebellum Heyward House. The Bluffton state of mind is real, and we love it.

FOOD. OUTDOORS. PEOPLE. KIM VILJAC SPEARHEADS BLUFFTON’S FARMERS MARKET STORY BY NINA GREENPLATE | PH0T0S BY ROB KAUFMAN

Kim Viljac’s love of community and talent for connection lends perfectly to her position as executive director of the Farmers Market of Bluffton. Viljac lived for a time in the south of France which helped foster her lifelong affinity for great food and outdoor activities. “I spent a lot of time at open-air markets with all the beautiful colors, fragrant aromas, and friendly people,” she said. “I guess that’s where it all started.” The charming backdrop of Old Town welcomes the mindful consumer as they browse more than 30 local producers and farmers every Thursday afternoon. The market itself, on Boundary Street, appears as a microcosm of what living in a healthy society should look like: homegrown foods, neighborhood outreach, and relationships built on mutual objectives. Viljac is integral to these principles. “People often tell me how they come to meet up with friends, and how love the experience,” she says. “We are committed to supporting local agriculture, as well as the small-business person.” Spring’s swift approach finds some farmers in between crops and planning for the upcoming season. Seasonal fruits, vegetables, plants, and herbs are always available, along with responsibly sourced beef, pork, and poultry. “The beauty of the farmers market is that you’re able to talk directly to the farmer,” Viljac says. “If you are buying a tomato, know that the person selling it to you grew it.” She values the relationships developed over her 10 years as director, and in turn, merchants appreciate her dedication. The farmers market typically averages 30 vendors each Thursday.

Their pasture-raised, pure-bred pigs and lamb are given non-GMO feed without hormones or antibiotics. Chocolates and Sweets on Hilton Head Island have been faithful merchants for nearly 10 years. Linda and Billy Douglas’ handmade confections include sweet truffles, pralines, creamy fudge, roasted pecans and multiple chocolate creations. Most requested are their coconut balls and chocolate- covered bacon. Another long-standing market vendor is Kathy Lambert of Great Food Co-Op, whose homemade salsas and dips are reminiscent of the “good ol’ days,” she said. In homage to her father, Lee, Lambert continues the tradition. Most requested are the Goldilocks-Red Heat Relish, and crispy “Chippy Chips” in sun-dried tomato/basil, spinach/herb, and whole wheat proprietary blends. As a non-profit venue, Viljac speaks of her “open door” in encouraging community groups to set up and promote their efforts. “We try to get everyone involved,” she said. Organizations such as Bluffton Self Help, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Backpack Buddies, Girl Scouts and the Rotary Club have come out to raise awareness. Local chefs make regular appearances, demonstrating food preparation basics. During the coronavirus pandemic, Viljac ensures Bluffton’s safety regulations are followed, including: proper vendor spacing and signage for mask wearing, sanitizer use, and customer distancing. The Farmers Market of Bluffton is open Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more i n for mat ion , v isit farmersmarketbluffton.org.

here was a time when people took pride in what they did. No matter what they were doing, they put their heart and soul into it. In those days, it was all about setting a standard of excellence. Craft Kitchen was built on that foundation. Dragging the old-fashioned work ethic into the 21st century, owners Vincent and Desi Kull have created a place where what goes into each bite and each sip is crafted with care. “I’m a big believer in keeping all of our recipes simple and not overly complicated, because we make nearly everything from scratch here,” said Vincent. That means everything from carefully hand-breading each fried chicken and delicately seasoning each smash burger, down to preparing fresh scratch-made dressing for each salad. That dedication to quality ingredients and mindful crafting extends to the beer list as well, an inspired mix of small independent offerings from around the Southeast and the country. “We always want to keep things new and fresh,” said Vincent. “In addition to our twelve rotating drafts, we have quite a large and unique can and bottle list that’s always changing. That can be overwhelming to some people so if you’re just learning about craft beer, we’ll be more than happy to point you toward something you will love.”

RENOVATED BLUFFTON OPENS WRIGHT FAMILY PARK, CALHOUN DOCK

FORKANDFUN.COM

STORY BY ANTHONY GARZILLI | PHOTOS BY MADISON ELROD

After much anticipation, in December the Town of Bluffton opened Wright Family Park, the town’s second public park offering access to the May River. The park opened after about three years of renovation and construction. Wright Family Park, across the street from the historic Church of the Cross, offers a boardwalk, a large central lawn, walkways, parking, landscaping, site furnishing, lighting, fencing, public restrooms and views of the May River. The Town of Bluffton and Beaufort County purchased the property for $1.5 million in 2017. It joins Oyster Factory Park in giving the public river access. Wright Family park will eventually include a rehabilitated Squire Pope Carriage House, an antebellum

structure which survived the “Burning of Bluffton” in 1863. According to the town, it is currently under design and will be the final project on the property. It is scheduled to be complete in approximately two years. The town also completed the Calhoun Street Regional Dock project. The project included removal of the existing public dock and building a larger, more accessible regional dock. The project also includes a new bulkhead, a 10-foot by 130-foot boardwalk, a 20-foot by 20-foot covered pier head and a 12-foot by 120-foot-long floating dock capable of accommodating up to six boats and fishing activities. The public dock has been located at the end of Calhoun Street since the early 1800s and has been central to the town’s commerce and economic health, the town said.
