red SEAFOOD | WINE BY ANTHONY DAVID
AMERICAN
fish
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. (about half a mile from Sea Pines Circle), 843-686-3388. Redfishofhiltonhead.com.

Old Oyster
Factory
WATERFRONT DINING BY ANTHONY DAVID The Old Oyster Factory was built on the site of an original oyster cannery. From 1925 until the 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, the Old Oyster Factory’s scenery and enticing menu options makes it one of Hilton Head Island’s gems. Enjoy panoramic marsh and water views, fresh seafood and sumptuous steaks and their award-winning wine list. “This place is like an old friend as it’s always inviting,” an online reviewer said. “Beautiful views along with fantastic, local tasty seafood, and can’t forget the hushpuppies that are delivered to your table with each meal! Great happy hour as well.” 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, including raw and oven-baked oysters, scallops, catfish, salmon and Lowcountry boil. Two of its popular seafood dishes are the Seafood Medley and the grouper, pecan-crusted, with garlic 20
parmesan rice, vegetables, and finished with peach beurre blanc and sweet Vidalia onion marmalade. If you are more of a landlubber, they offer many non-seafood items including New York Strip steak, filet mignon, ribeye and center cut pork chop. The outside bar and back deck invite visitors to watch crabs scamper in the marsh along the restaurant’s dock. The ambiance was striking for another online reviewer. “Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful view of the sunset over the Lowcountry,” the review said. “We watched a small stingray ambush minnows as the the tide slowly flooded in. (The) atmosphere made it more than worth its value.” Open for lunch daily 11-4, sunset dining 4-5:30, dinner 4-9, happy hour 4-6 (bar & lounge only) $1 CRAB cash back on beer, wine and liquor, $.75 peel ‘n’ eat shrimp and half off oysters. Children’s menu available. Very large parties can be accommodated. Newly expanded outdoor seating. Casual dress. Reservations accepted. 101 Marshland Rd., Mid-island, Hilton Head Island, 843-681-6040, www.OldOysterFactory.com

It was cooked perfectly, also very tender and tasty, I had the Chicken Cordon Bleu – the same thing I had the first time there. It was all awesome. We will be back a few times before we leave the island.” A genuine island institution, Reilley’s serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, and Sunday brunch, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. The bar stays open late.

WHERE ART AND DINING MEET BY JEVON DALY
The Studio on Pope Ave. is a different type of dining experience on Hilton Head Island. People choose to dine at The Studio for their wonderful pairings on the plate and in the room. Watch Lunonia Colella (owner) and guest artists paint at the easel, and listen to live music while you dine in this intimate restaurant. The menu offers plenty of seafood and land offerings from Local Seafood ‘Paella’ and Seared Diver Scallops to Australian Lamb Rack, and Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast. Chef Colella has expanded the gluten free and vegan options on his menu including Exotic Mushroom Crepes and a delicious Vegetable Pad Thai. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday is when the room is filled with live music which really adds another dimension to signature dishes like Filet Mignon topped with goat cheese souffle and Plantain Gnocchi. Dine on the outdoor “pet friendly” patio if you are in need of some of that fresh lowcountry air.
An online reviewer noted “This is our third time here and it never disappoints. The creative cuisine is out of this world. And I love the art which is done by the owner which is very impressive! And 20% of the sale goes to numerous charities! The food is exceptional!” If you are looking for a truly unique and outstanding dining experience, give The Studio a try.

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. I had the ribs and

Big Jim’s BBQ, Burgers & Pizza is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner serving signature Southern dishes including BBQ, gourmet burgers and grilled pizzas plus homemade soups, salads, seafood and fall-off-the-bone ribs. Big Jim set the tone for Palmetto Dunes’ growth and development since purchasing the resort in 1979, but one of his biggest claims to fame has been his culinary skills. From his own special barbecue sauce to his renowned Tennessee cole slaw, Big Jim’s recipes were always in demand. Nothing has changed in the restaurant named in Big Jim’s honor. An online reviewer had nothing but praise for the restaurant. “The staff was so pleasant,” the review said. “We had the 1/2 rack of ribs with veggies. 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. All were very good. Highly recommend a trip to Big Jim’s.” Breakfast served daily from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Enjoy omelets, breakfast sandwiches, waffles and more.

Street Meet AMERICAN TAVERN
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 craft-brews are at the forefront of the beer they serve. 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 veterans-assistance foundation, Honor our Heroes, and consistent 48
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. 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.

Hinchey’s Chicago Bar & Grill
CELEBRATING
GREAT FOOD, TASTY DRINKS
25 YEARS
BY JEVON DALY Home 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 BI-LO Circle Center 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 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 52
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. 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. BI-LO Circle Center, 70 Pope Avenue Suite H, South end, 843-686-5959.

Coffee & Crumbs
THE PERFECT BREAKFAST & LUNCH SPOT NEAR COLIGNY BEACH BY CAROL WEISS Enjoy a hot or cold coffee drink and a selection of pastries, paninis and more at Carolina Coffee & Crumbs near Coligny beach. Owner Erika Waronsky, who also owns The Sandbar restaurant next door, welcomes visitors and locals to the island’s newest coffee shop, which opened in summer 2019. The café serves smoothies, breakfast, lunch and creative specials. Locally roasted by Ian Duncan at The Grind as well as King Bean 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. 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 also tempt. A full breakfast menu is available. Other options include fluffy omelets and savory quiches. 56
For lunch, try a panini made with lots of avocado, feta, 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. In good weather, sit outside under an umbrella on the petfriendly 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. Open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. 101 Pope Avenue, Hilton Head Island. 843-342-4800.

PALMETTO BAY
Sunrise Cafe
A FAVORITE LOCAL’S SPOT BY ANTHONY DAVID When Leslie and Paul Stewart opened Palmetto Bay Sunrise cafe in 2002 they committed to making great breakfast fare starting before the sun rises, from 6 a.m. 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. Eat inside or on the expanded seating on veranda, with clear roll-down walls available in the event of cold or inclement weather.
58
Open seven days a week for breakfast (served all day long) and lunch. Always ask about the blue plate special of the day. Wake up with the locals. Most of the wait staff has been at Sunrise Café for many years and know their customers by name. “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.

French BAKERY
SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE BY CAROL WESS
At The French Bakery on Hilton Head Island, freshly baked, house-made, mouth-watering pastries, breads and desserts fill glass cases. Cinnamon rolls, chocolate-dipped madeleines and scones disappear in a flash.
The dining room accommodates a bustling daily crowd and hosts private parties. Marek also recently purchased a mobile crepe cart to provide the signature French pastries at festivals, corporate parties and weddings.
The family-owned bakery recently celebrated its 20th anniversary because Marek Belka and his son Tomazs work hard to the delight of their customers. They recently expanded The French Bakery’s offerings — including the creation of more vegetarian items.
Every December, The French Bakery is inundated with specials orders for traditional Christmas cakes — the French buche de Noel; the German stollen; the Polish babka, a sweet yeast cake laced with rum syrup and topped with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
The view from the 120-seat bakery in Shelter Cove Towne Center looks out onto scenic Broad Creek and Shelter Cove Community Park. Breakfast and lunch is served all day every day, and many stop in for just coffee and a bite.
Whether you dine-in to experience the warm, cozy café; grab a cappuccino or expresso and croissant at the pastry bar for takeaway, or sit outside to enjoy the view, you’ll be immersed in a charming ambiance that is unique. Open Monday -Saturday 7 a.m.- 3 p.m., Sunday 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
The French Bakery also offers pies prepared “with a European flair,” Marek said.

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. Delish.com, a global food website, declared: “Signe’s Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie is the best pie in South Carolina.” TV celeb Rachael Ray stopped by and swooned over the deep-dish blueberry French Toast, and grandmothers arrive regularly to share jumbo oatmeal raisin cookies with their granddaughters.
Here mouthwatering pastries are made fresh daily. In fact, nearly everything is made fresh from scratch using no preservatives. The tomato tarts, cheesy fritattas and creamy polenta are magnificent along with the prize recipe key lime pie and pound cake. Signe’s Bakery Cafe is indeed an island treasure. Breakfast, lunch and take out. 93 Arrow Rd, Hilton Head Island. 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Mon.-Friday; 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. Saturday. 843-785-9118 or Signesbakery.com

LUNCH
Phillys Cafe & Deli BY JEVON DALY
Locally owned and operated for more than 26 years, Phillys Cafe and Deli is a favorite lunchtime spot for locals and visitors on the south end of Hilton Head wanting a tried and true sandwich. Phillys’ motto is “Best sandwiches on the island…Period!” Custom made sandwiches with bread baked fresh in house daily is a part of the success of this island institution. The pita wraps and salads are both imaginative and health conscious. Whether you decide to try the “Bompa” (Homemade chicken salad with bacon) or decide on the “Thanksgiving” (Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo on your choice of bread) you can’t go wrong. Dine in or take out. Order a platter of sandwiches for your next party or get together! A fan on their Facebook page said it best with: “Soooooo good. The sandwiches are awesome.

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.
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.
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

Chez Georges Celebrating the community 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. Chef Burns Sullivan’s dishes include many Lowcountry accents, including a French onion soup with oxtail. The bouillabaisse has housemade seasoning. 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. Open daily at 4:30 p.m. 37 New Orleans Road, Suite J, Hilton Head Island. 843-785-3200. chezgeorgeshhi.com.

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 are looking forward to growing their business and providing more entertainment in a creative way. Their next venture, “Close Up Magic,” will be small, intimate shows aboard their yacht "MAGIC" at Skull Creek Marina. Comedy Magic Cabaret is located in South Island Square, 843 William Hilton Park-way, 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.

Crane’s Tavern 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. 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. Crane’s serves only USDA Prime grade beef, including its famous prime rib, as well as a wide array of fresh fish, 78
seafood and pasta dishes, including jumbo lump crab cakes, sashimi-grade tuna steaks, Lowcountry shrimp, lobster tail and more.

Santa Fe Café AUTHENTIC SOUTHWESTERN
BY CAROL WEISS
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, customdesigned 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. Lunch: Mon. – Fri. 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m., dinner: 5-10 p.m. nightly. 807 William Hilton Pkwy #700, Hilton Head Island. 843-785-3838 or santafehhi.com 80

Il Carpaccio
NORTHERN ITALIAN- INSPIRED CUISINE BY CAROL WEISS
90
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.
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.
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.
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 843-3429949 for reservations. ilcarpaccioofhiltonhead.com

Since then, his daughter Elise and her husband, Kyle Parlagreco, have built a loyal following among locals and visitors. “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.”

Carolina Gold Rice Is Delicious Living History BY KEITH PANDOLFI
Rice is an overlooked culinary component, often viewed as a necessary, but not particularly flavourful, staple to a meal. It’s a supporting cast member to the star on the plate, the designated driver of all things delicious. But then there’s Carolina Gold rice – a product so sought after in the 18th and most of the 19th Centuries, both in North America and in Europe, that it made the Lowcountry and Charleston, South Carolina, one of the richest areas in the United States for a time. In the mid-18th century in Bluffton, rice fields sprawled throughout much of the forested land south of the May River, as the grain became the South Carolina colony’s most lucrative crop. Carolina Gold rice was named for the unique rice fields, which turn a gleaming gold when ready to harvest. “What I love about Carolina Gold,” said chef Michelle Weaver, who specializes in Southern cooking , “is that it’s the most diverse rice I’ve
98
ever worked with. It can work as sticky rice, in porridge, in risotto, whatever you need.” Despite a subtle nuttiness, the rice is not particularly aromatic, which means it inherits the flavours it’s sharing the plate with. Some have called Carolina Gold the world’s greatest rice. But the crop nearly disappeared in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. First, the Civil War wiped out many of the ancient rice fields. Then two massive hurricanes swept through South Carolina in 1910 and 1911, destroying the 30% of the rice industry that had managed to recover. Finally, the Great Depression in 1929 was the knockout punch, putting an end to commercial harvests. “Then, in the 1950s, [the brand] Uncle Ben’s comes in,” said chef Sean Brock of Husk, one of Charleston’s most acclaimed eateries. “That’s when rice went into [a] mass produced, total mechanized phase of production.” As a result, Carolina Gold disappeared for most
of the 20th Century. Until, that is, Dr Richard Schultz, an eye doctor from Savannah, found Carolina Gold seeds sitting unloved and unused in a USDA seed bank in the mid-1980s. He mainly wanted to find a rice to use as bait in his duck-hunting hobby, but eventually produced enough to begin selling it to the public. By 1998, Anson Mills, which specializes in heirloom southern grains and vegetables, began planting it. Essentially, the rice industry in South Carolina – and the rest of the U.S. – mirrors what happened to the US beer industry. Large-scale corporations had wiped out small businesses by the mid-20th Century, only for artisanal methods and smallbatch production to re-emerge in the late 1990s. Small, local breweries are now enjoying a fullon, trendy resurgence.

Slapfish
A CRAVEABLE SEAFOOD EXPERIENCE BY CAROL WEISS A new seafood restaurant with an unusual name and a menu inspired by its food truck origins is now open on Hilton Head Island. At the bustling corner of Arrow Road and William Hilton Parkway, the restaurant offers healthy, affordable, chef-crafted food in a completely remodeled space inside the building that formerly housed The Pantry gas station. Slapfish’s cravable menu features shrimp, fried or grilled fish served in sandwiches, tacos and salads, along with New England clam chowder and fish and chips. Slapfish’s specialty dish is a lobster roll. Less traditional offerings are the Chowder Fries, which are fries smothered in clam chowder and bacon; the Surf and Turf Burger that includes lobster, cheese and caramelized onions; and the Clobster Grilled Cheese, a sandwich stuffed with crab and lobster. Other popular items include grilled shrimp burritos, and—on the lighter side— lettuce-wrapped fish tacos. 106
The fast-casual seafood restaurant chain was founded in 2011 by celebrity chef Andrew Gruel. Based in Orange County, California, the transplanted New Jersey chef’s concept started as a food truck and aims to evoke the “classic seafood shack.” The eatery’s“ridiculously fresh” sustainable seafood has been recognized on the Cooking Channel, the TODAY Show, PBS and featured in The Wall Street Journal, Men’s Health, Food & Wine Magazine, Entrepreneur, and Restaurant Business, among other media outlets. The largest and fastest growing fast casual seafood franchise in the world,Slapfish’s website lists locations in 10 states, the District of Columbia, London and Dubai. The nearest location is in Pooler and the company has said that multiple locations in South Carolina and Georgia are in the works. Open Mon-Sun 11 a.m.–9 p.m. 1024 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island. 843-521-5830. Slapfishrestaurant.com

Amigos
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. Ask around and our customers will tell you, Amigos is...“ Nacho Ordinary Restaurant!” Awarded Bluffton’s Favorite Burrito and Taco – Monthly’s Reader’s Choice Awards 2015. 133 Belfair Towne Village 843-815-8226.
