EDITOR’S DISH “Go Eat?” The two simple words were a battle cry for us young foodies. Long before phrases like “farm-to-table” sneaked into our vocabulary a handful of us connected the dots between our humble rural foodways and the emerging American nouvelle cuisine movement. And we wrote and photographed. Tony Bourdain was still a doped-up line cook and Emeril Lagasse was a fresh-faced, nervous guest of Julia Child. In the foodie trenches, my comrades with forks and I felt our way across a largely unexplored culinary landscape. We scoured back roads in search of real country hams and delighted to encounter mule-powered sorghum mills. We skidded to a stop at more than one roadside stand offering everything from paw-paws to tomatoes as big as a baby’s head to red, sweet watermelons. Today, everyone is a foodie. I laid out a tasting board of cheese and chocolate last week and five iPhone cameras went off simultaneously. We have become a nation obsessed with food in its many forms. We’re a community of vegans, gluten-free eaters and whole animal advocates. We eat to run, we run to eat. We’re gluttons, we’re minimalists. We secretly crave fast food; we strive to embrace Slow Food. We’re all Well Fed. After too many years to count and thousands of words about food; after kneading hundreds of dozens of biscuits, grilling countless steaks and meticulously slicing and dicing for innumerable ratatouilles – I find myself here, editing Well Fed. Rene and Whitney have given birth to a beautiful child named Well Fed, and handing the toddler over so they may pursue other dreams is humbling for me. Oh, they won’t be far away – and will certainly be a presence with the magazine. In the months to come, I am excited to share a more diverse range of stories from my own experiences. I relish working with the cadre of young writers who help make this magazine a voice for the community.Together, it’s sure to be an adventure filled with food and drink, laughs and thrills, new ideas and differing perspectives. It’s a happy task. Here, I’m surrounded by folks who dig the food scene, who fit nearly every category of foodie. Many of you know me as a wine critic. Others know me as a teaching chef. Still others read me as restaurant critic. I’m all of those and above all, I’m Well Fed. Go eat? -Tim Rutherford

joseph fields farm Written by Teri Schell of the Forsyth Farmers’ Market

When Joseph Fields told his mother he wanted to be a farmer, she told him to go to school for welding. He did her one better and became a certified welder – and an auto mechanic. In 1973, when he started farming full time on family land on Johns Island, S.C., he could repair any farm machinery that broke. That expertise allowed this third-generation farmer to save precious cash and time for other endeavors – like learning about organic farming. Joseph married Helen three months before he started farming full time. Most of the Fields family lived on or farmed portions of the family land and the newlyweds moved onto a tract of that land – but eventually took over the bulk of the farming. While Joseph farmed, Helen worked for a shipping company in addition to raising their two children, Joseph Jr. and JaNesha. In 2000, Helen went to work full time on the farm alongside Joseph. She claims she didn’t love farming like her husband, but she learned to love it from him: “He wakes up every morning with an ambition for farming that surpasses everything else in life.” Joseph’s ambition, however, is the quiet kind, rooted in learning and listening. The Fields’ heard about organic methods from their customers at farmers’ markets. In order to meet customers’ expectations, the Fields embraced organic concepts -- traveling to California and Washington to learn directly from organic growers. -Continued on Next Page

They also attended a Bioneers conference, an environmental justice and sustainability action conference. They returned with new knowledge and energized. They divided their farm into separate fields in order to begin purging the soil, an intensive five-year endeavor leading to organic certification. Joseph says organic practices resonated with him and reminded him of the way he learned to farm as a child working alongside his parents. The couple’s dedication has paid off – they have 50 acres that are USDA certified organic. The produce from those fields supplies farmers’ markets around Charleston and Savannah, as well as several local restaurants.The Fields enjoy support from patrons of their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) model that shares the risks of farming and the bounty of the harvest between farmer and customer. The Fields focus on the basics – and in this season usually have seasonal greens like kale, chard and mustard greens – as well as red and sweet potatoes, beets and Brussels sprouts. As it gets warmer expect string beans, strawberries, okra, watermelon, tomatoes, squash blossoms and squash.

You can find the Fields every Saturday at the Forsyth Farmers' Market.

JOSEPH FIELDS FARM Pick Your Own CSA The Field’s CSA model differs from most in that participants prepay for their share by the pound and choose what items they want at a farmers’ market rather than receive a box or bag of the farmers’ choosing. This idea came from their interaction with customers at markets. They noticed that customers really enjoy choosing what items to take home and also heard grumbling about CSA shares that had an abundance of only one item at a time or had less than perfect produce included. The Fields maintain a list of their shareholders at market and the CSA shareholder gets as much or as little as they want at market, their purchases are weighed and that amount is deducted from their share. It affords the Fields family the prepaid support and allows the customer to choose what they want, when they want it. WWW.forsythfarmersmarket.COM

{ARK of TASTE} S L OW F O O D ’ S

rare breeds, near-extinct varieties Helping save

by Kelly Vormelker

veryone is familiar with the endangered species that fill lists created by the federal government. But all around us, native foods – from livestock and poultry to grains and vegetables – are on the brink of extinction. That’s where Slow Foods Ark of Taste project shines its spotlight. The Ark of Taste is a catalog of foods that are in danger of extinction. The foods in this catalog are threatened by industrial standardization, environmental damage and the monoculture of large factory farms. The program is meant to stimulate consumer demand of foods identified in the catalog. The goal is to promote these foods and encourage their growth and consumption -- ensuring they remain available. The program started in 1996. Since then, more than 800 foods have been added internationally. To qualify as an Ark of Taste food, an item must be outstanding in terms of taste, at-risk, sustainably produced, culturally or historically linked to a specific region, locality or ethnicity and produced in small quantities. Slow Food Savannah and its members can submit foods to the Ark of Taste catalog for possible inclusion, but can also help by helping perpetuate foods already cataloged. Consumers can help by encouraging a chef to feature Ark of Taste items, plant heirloom varieties in your garden, host a dinner featuring regional items, visit a local farm to discuss rare breeds or nominate a regional food for Ark of Taste approval. A regional selection from the Ark of Taste Catalog is available on the website, http://www.slowfoodusa.org. If you are interested in cultivating a healthy local food scene, join us! For more information or questions, e-mail the organization at: slowfoodsavannah@gmail.com

93%

of food diversity in the United States has been lost since 1900. source: slowfoodusa.org

Among the dozens of items on the Southeastern Ark of Taste list are these:

GULF COAST SHEEP were Native Americans only source of wool and sheep meat. For centuries, they were the only sheep to be found in the Deep South. Gulf Coast Sheep are characterized by a lack of wool on their faces, legs and bellies, an adaptation for the intense heat of the south. Unfortunately, this breed has been largely discarded due to the introduction of more productive breeds. The GUINEA HOG is a small, black breed of swine that is unique to the United States, also known as the Pineywoods Guinea, Guinea Forest Hog, Acorn Eater and Yard Pig. The Guinea Hog was once the most prominent swine in the Southeast. Guinea Hogs were known to be extremely hardy; they foraged for their own food, ate rodents and other small animals, grass, roots, nuts and cleaned out garden beds. The Guinea Hog fell out of favor for larger, less fatty breeds. CAROLINA GOLD RICE was the basis of the colonial and antebellum economy of North and South Carolina and Georgia. This long grain rice has superior flavor, texture, aroma and cooking qualities. When first in production, Carolina Gold Rice brought great fortune and contributed to the development of Creole cuisine. After the depression, Carolina Gold Rice lost is presence to other varieties.

behind the scenes:

beekeeping

by Dennis Hutton of Savannah Urban Garden Alliance

became a beekeeper because I love squash. What do bees have to do with squash? Pollination, of course. I remember when a half a dozen plants in somebody’s garden would cause anonymous baskets of squash to show up on all the porches in the neighborhood. Lately, one squash plant barely produces enough squash for one decent-sized casserole. Scientists say it’s because bees are mysteriously dying off. Hand pollination is out of the question – I became a beekeeper. I joined The Coastal Empire Beekeeper’s Association with visions of squash and watermelon in my head. A bee’s vision though is quite different. Bees are born with only two things in mind – reproducing and surviving. Reproduction among bees is pretty straight forward. The big golden queen takes off flying and all the male bees (called drones) take off after her. Drones typically sit around doing the bee equivalent of watching TV and drinking beer until the queen takes off and the race is on to reproduce with her highness.

FEED | W E L LFEDS AVAN N AH .CO M

The queen only flies once in her life so the drones have a limited window of opportunity. After mating, worker bees kick most of the drones out of the hive – and they die. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I sure as heck don’t want to come back as a male bee.

Worker bees, all females, run the hive. The queen’s job is to lay eggs, thousands of them every day. She decides whether her eggs are fertilized (in which case they become female workers) or unfertilized (in which case they become male drones). But other than that, the female workers rule the hive and do all the work. As these hard-working ladies age, their tasks change. Young ones are responsible for cleaning cells where the queen lays the eggs and where older workers store the honey. After that, they become foragers who gather pollen to make honey. During hot weather, some even fan the hive to keep it cool. Others build the comb for egg laying and honey storage. The oldest become nurses that care for larva and tend the queen. And if the queen begins to slack off, workers select a larva and feed it royal jelly – which grows the bee into a new queen. When she’s ready to go, workers kill the lazy old queen and send the new gal off on her mating flight and the cycle starts all over again. Worker bees live only about six weeks in the summer, and a summer hive needs 60,000 to 80,000 bees to operate, so you can see why it’s important for the queen to be up to snuff in the egg-laying department. During the winter, workers live four to nine months – they work themselves to death in the summer. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t want to be re-incarnated as a worker bee either. Surviving winter is the bees’ second priority. Bees forage for pollen up to two miles from the hive. That pollen is used to make honey and honey is the bees’ life-blood during winter. Of course, beekeepers come along and steal the honey. Beekeepers supplement the bee’s diet during winter – and in the hottest summer months when pollen is in limited supply. Many beekeepers leave enough honey in the hive for the bees to survive through the lean times. The next bumper crop of squash you have, blame it on the bees. And if you want to do your part for the bees, for the planet and for your own enjoyment, consider beekeeping as a hobby.

beekeeping rules Beekeeping is currently allowed in Chatham County under the following conditions: •

All Beekeepers must register each apiary with the Chatham County Department of Building Safety and pay a $25 annual fee per apiary. One reason for this registration is so beekeepers can be notified when mosquito spraying will be conducted in order to protect the hives.

•

When located within 25 feet of a neighbor’s property line, beekeepers must provide a fence flyway. The county ordinance outlines other stipulations on apiary maintenance, provisions for water and details the number of colonies based upon plot size and distance to property lines.

GARDENING a charles ellis program teaches kids and parents gardening skills by Rhonda Barlow, MPH, RD, LD, CLC “Mommy, look what we did in science class this week,” the traditional science student proclaims to a parent as the sprout-size bean plant in a cup is shoved up in the air for all to see.

SOS

“Oh, it’s pretty dear. What are you going to do with it,” the parent asks? The distressed thought of keeping it alive flashes though the parent’s mind. Then, the most famous of all childhood answers comes forth: “I don’t know.” Well, parent of the traditional science student – don’t fear – “Gardening SOS” has saved the day. In this basic gardening class of 30 parents, students and community members were taught simple and sure ways to plant a successful garden. The class was organized by Christopher Schell, the science teacher at Charles Ellis Montessori Academy. Other instructors of the class included community members Jane Fishman, Jon Harper, Johnny Smith, and Dennis Hutton.

The “Gardening SOS” class was designed to start a satellite “Little Wagon Project” at the school and to give the parents of the science students the tools needed to prepare space at home to receive the bean plants from school that students were taking home after the science lesson was over. The original “Little Wagon Project” at Forsyth Farmers Market allows children who attend the market weekly the opportunity to plant a seed in a “wagon” and watch as it grows week by week; the project is run by Johnny Smith, a member of the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities.

If you would like to donate time or garden supplies to the school, contact Schell at (912) 395-5470.

Other erdkinder (practical life) activities at Charles Ellis Montessori Academy include local farmers coming to help celebrate Food Day at the school; the students were served collard greens fresh from the farm. Currently, the school’s PTA Beautification Committee is in the process of building eight additional raised garden beds to add to the other garden beds already at the school. Each grade’s science lessons will determine the role the students will play in caring for the garden plots. As students advance through school, older students pass on the skill they’ve learned to younger students. For example, seventh-graders learn how to plant and then teach the kindergarteners to plant.”

lost & found TIPS FOR REUNITING PETS AND FAMILIES Written by Dorian Bryant of TailsSpin

osing a pet can be traumatic for both owner and pet, but there are strategies to help you reunite with your furry pal sooner rather than later. Here are a few ways in which to bring you and your lost friend together again.

LOST PET REL ATED STATS

OUT OF

DOGS WILL BE LOST IN THEIR LIFETIME

15%

DOGS WERE RETURNED HOME DUE TO I.D. TAGS OR MICROCHIPS (SOURCE: ASPCA)

TAG YOUR PET

One technique that will help recover an animal is having a Pet ID. A lost pet has a better chance of being found if they always wear proper identification. An ID tag with your name and phone number can help to ensure a quick recovery. Consider micro-chipping as a permanent identification solution. Microchips can’t be lost like an ID tag on a collar and will provide more information than can be engraved on a tag.

SPREAD THE WORD

Broadcast your missing pet as quickly as possible. Not everyone gets the newspaper or reads the “lost” ads, so a face-to-face visit with your neighbors is crucial – most lost pets are within a five-mile radius of their home. Make posters to advertise your lost pet to post in your neighborhood and distribute them to your local pet stores, grocery stores, veterinary offices, dog parks and other businesses. Consider listing in smaller publications as well, like the Pennysaver and TellN-Sell. TailsSpin.com has a free Lost & Found pet board in the Resource Center where you can upload your pet’s information and picture.

CONTACT RESCUE GROUPS

Notify Savannah Chatham Animal Control, the Humane Society for Greater Savannah, Save-A-Life and Coastal Pet Rescue of your lost pet. Providing these organizations with recent photographs will help in your search. It is important to note that these agencies are very busy and have quite a lot of pets they have to care for. They cannot be expected to do your leg work for you, so check back often and visit their facilities yourself to look for your pet.

IMMEDIACY IS CRUCIAL

105.3 WRHQ’s Pet Patrol and 98.7 The River’s Pet Pad are great ways to advertise your lost pet – and they also utilize their own social media to help spread your pet’s information. When providing your pet’s information include the pet’s sex, age, weight, breed, color and any special markings. -Continued on Next Page WELLF EDSAVA NNA H. C OM | FEED 23

WWW.LOSTPET

WHAT IF I FIND A PET? Many of the same strategies apply – with some variations.

CHECK THE ID The pet tag may have the owner’s name or a rabies tag can be tracked through animal control authorities. Have the pet scanned by an animal shelter or animal control to determine if a microchip is implanted.

Immediately post details about your missing critter on your Facebook and Twitter pages – and ask your friends to do likewise. Don’t forget to cross-post to area animal lover Facebook pages like Daffin Dog Park, Animal Lovers group and TailsSpin. Other websites like Craigslist, Fido Finder and the Center for Lost Pets are also great free resources for posting your lost ads. The Savannah Craigslist “Lost+Found” section is often used for pets that need to be reunited with owners.

ONLINE

SHOW THE MONEY

No ID or microchip? Contact the same agencies you would if you lost a pet – but this time provide the info about the pet you found.

Outside the realm of free advertising is FindToto. org, a lost pet alert service that will contact neighbors in the area where your pet was last seen, but for a fee. The price of FindToto.org depends on how many people you want to contact in the area.

STAY FOCUSED Remain resilient about searching for your pet. Continue walking or driving around your community, always bringing flyers with you to raise awareness of your lost pet. Try to search twice a day, or during your pet’s regular meal times. Just like us, pets are creatures of habit and will not completely abandon their schedules even when lost. When you are searching, try to think like your pet, you know them best, after all. What does your pet like? In what direction would they most likely go? If your pet knows other homes or pets in the area check there, and ask if you may leave some food, a toy, or an article of clothing that has your scent. If your pet finds these familiar items, they may be encouraged to stay in the area.

Scan Craigslist and local online ads to see if your house guest is being sought. Also, post your own photos to Facebook and Tweet the pet’s details, check radio station and pet lovers’ Facebook newsfeeds.

SHELTERS

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Remember that most lost pets aren’t that far from home. Post flyers, take information door-to-door and face-to-face. Who knows, you might come across the pet’s owner on your rounds.

BE SENSITIVE Your house guest may be relieved to be in loving arms – or not. Stay calm and be alert to the animal’s behavior. Provide food and water. If the pet is injured, understand that any trip to the vet is most likely going to be your financial responsibility.

TailsSpin Pet Food & Accessories provides ID Tag engraving daily and offers micro-chipping at select low cost vaccine clinics throughout the month. Be sure to stop by the Pet Fair on May 11th (See the ad on the facing page.) You can also visit the website for a complete list of upcoming clinics and events: www.TailsSpin.com 24

Wines of Springtime Break away from the ordinary to truly enjoy spring wines.....

Written by Tim Rutherford

pring: That’s when we bask in temperatures that hint of what’s to come – but that re m ai n c o m fo r t a b l e a n d refreshing. And that’s where we begin to head with our wines – to flavors that are refreshing enough to take off a blush of heat and still deliver plenty of character. Generally thought of as white wines, there are plenty of mainstream varietals from which to choose – Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. This month consider some other options to explore that offer a genuine taste of the wines’ origins. Character comes from place – the terroir – the nearly mystical combination of sunlight, water and soil that give wine grapes a sense of being. Well-made Burgundy is as much an expression of the hillsides around Beaune as Pinot Noir speaks for the rocky vineyards of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. These wines for spring coincidentally pair perfectly with our native foods – shrimp, oysters and crab. Grab a corkscrew and let’s start tasting!

Vinho Verde originated in Northern Portugal – but is not a grape varietal.The name literally means “green wine,” but translates as “young wine,” as opposed to mature wine. It may be red, white or rosé, and it is meant to be consumed within a year of bottling. 28

Typically, the white style is found on Savannah shelves. More than two dozen grapes may be included in Vinho Verde, the result of how it’s grown. More than 30,000 small farms produce grapes that come together for Vinho Verde and many of these growers train their vines high off the ground, up trees, fences, and even telephone poles so that they can cultivate vegetables beneath the vines.

cuisines to the spicy complexity found in Thai dishes. Riesling is a “go to” choice when presented with a pairing challenge for fish, shellfish, poultry and veggies. Its fruitiness does not crush the food flavors – and can enhance the experience. Explore different Riesling and find a couple that best fit your personal taste.

Anticipate a bright, clean wine with slight effervescence. A brisk acidic finish prepares you for the next sip – or the next bite of grilled shrimp.

Picpoul de Pinet is a delicate and mildly aromatic wine that delivers a solid acidic punch – earning it the nickname “lip stinger.” The grape grows in France’s Rhone Valley and Languedoc regions where it is a popular wine to serve with seafood and shellfish. The wine’s bold acidity also makes it a perfect companion for saltiness found in Mediterranean dishes and even spicy Thai and Southeast Asia recipes. Some brands of Picpoul depict oysters on the label – how’s that for connecting the dots? Riesling is loved or hated. “It’s too sweet,” cry some wine drinkers.“It’s too dry,” shout others. Now to understand: Riesling is just that complex. Except for the dessert versions of this grape, I prefer to think of Riesling in degrees of fruitiness. A properly selected Riesling will possess some degree of fruitiness, but then must finish with a firm acidic “pop” than cleans the palate. Look for these words on the label – Kabinett or Spätlese. These expressions of Riesling will pair best with foods – from delicate flavors in Japanese

a note on serving: Most white wines are served too cold – and flavors get lost in the frigid liquid. All of these wines are best served between 45-55 degrees F. Your refrigerator is about 35 degrees Farenheit. Pop the wine into the fridge for any amount of time, but then remove it for 30 minutes to an hour before service.

Rosé still carries the stigma of being the sweet, novice’s wine from the 1970s. However, today’s rosé – regardless of the region – is a refreshing, fruit driven wine that also carries an acidic finish perfect for hot summer days. Rosé can be made from any number of grapes – the distinctive, pale red color come s from limiting skin contact between the juice and the grape skins. Rosé with heavy body will pair well with grilled pork or lamb; lighter bodies rosé works best with poultry and grilled veggies.

Tasting opportunities offer you the best bet to learn which wines you like. Only by broadening your tasting experience can you truly reveal the wines that make you happy. Most wine shops offer occasional tasting events – like FORM, Le Chai Galerie du Vin, and even World Market and Fresh Market. Savannah Wine Cellar offers 40 wines for tasting anytime, dispensed in one- and two-ounce portions from special machines that keep the wines fresh and temperature controlled.The store also conducts a tasting every Saturday from 4-6 p.m. and hosts special tastings with visiting wine makers. These types of tastings range from free to around $20.

There are also several tasting dinners or tasting events hosted every month by area restaurants. These food and wine experiences often feature the winemaker or a winery representative and can range in price from $35-$150.

A Thunderbolt Landmark Tubby’s Tank House in Thunderbolt faces the challenge of diners’ changing needs Tubby’s has long been recognized for its fried seafood, budget-friendly lunches and as a popular watering hole. The beer is cold, the service prompt and the regulars are easy-going. Those regulars have their favorites among the nearly 100 menu choices, and according to General Manager Shaunda Clark: “We’re about to make some changes.” Many of those changes have already been tested with diners and will result in a menu featuring fewer fried items – especially among the fresh fish selections. “The menu has evolved beyond what people knew as just fried foods,” Shaunda said. “The menu will be slightly smaller with more fresh selections. We’re emphasizing that this menu is about hand-made, made-from-scratch fresh food. Shaunda’s husband, Ray Clark, is among the founding crew at Tubby’s – which he says began due to a bounty of fresh fish at his disposal. “Stan Strickland and I would go fishing and take our fresh catch to Spanky’s on River Street,” Ray explained. He was working there as a bartender and River Street was still very much a locals hangout. “I loved to fish, loved to clean fish, it was fun.” In 1992, Live Oak CEO Ansley Williams brought the duo in as partners and opened what became Tubby’s. Together, the three learned the business, grew and today Tubby’s is one of eight restaurants in the Live Oak Restaurant Group. 30

Ray no longer has to fish to keep the cooler full – but he is the man who negotiates deals every year that brings fresh, North American shrimp and fish not just to Tubby’s but to the other restaurants. The contracts provide Atlantic and Gulf Coast shrimp – all similar sized, all individually quick frozen, to insure freshness and flavor for Live Oak customers all year ‘round. “This year, we’ll use about 90,000 pounds of shrimp in our restaurants,” Ray said. “They are all wildcaught, 26-30 count.” The shrimp arrive still in shell but without heads. At Tubby’s and the other restaurants, the shrimp are cleaned, shelled and hand breaded by the order. Shaunda, who has worked at Tubby’s for 15 years, says the restaurant prepares 300 pounds of shrimp a week and more than 150 lbs. of fresh fish. Other fresh fish at Tubby’s comes from local, licensed fishermen. The “fresh catch” varies with the season and reads like a who’s who of the area’s seafood population: Yellow Fin tuna, Red Snapper, grouper, Mahi-Mahi. These are fresh from the boat, whole fish that are broken down daily in the restaurant kitchen. Live Oak also sponsors area fishing tournaments, where participants compete in an annual competition that awards points for bill-fish caught and released and meat fish.Those meat fish, Clark says, are bought by the restaurant if the fisherman wants to sell. “That helps us keep a steady supply of the freshest fish coming through the kitchen,” says Clark.

Sure there are frozen shellfish and fish items on the menu. Snow crab, obviously, is not local. Nor is the white fish used in what Tubby’s calls “fish fingers” on its menu. Diners who want local fish need to focus attention on items labeled as fresh, check the fresh catch board posted at the hostess stand and consult with the servers. The couple, Shaunda and Ray have been married for 12 years, are quick to point out that the restaurant has evolved in more ways than its menu. Recently, foam-based carryout containers were replaced with packaging made of recycled materials. “And we’re always looking for ways to improve our environmental footprint,” Ray said. “We’re actively working with the city to bring recycling to the restaurant community. We compile lots of data that we opening share to help reduce fats, oils and grease that goes down drains – we’re very conscious about what we put into drains or onto the ground.” Even with a reduced menu of fried foods, frying itself is inherently messy, dirty work. Ray says the restaurants use very high-quality, blended oils that are filtered, treated and used as long as possible. When fully expended, those are passed on to a recycler who renders the oils for other uses, primarily as bio-fuels. “We filter our oil down to two microns,” Ray explained. “That lets us use the oil longer – about seven days – and that’s better for the environment and saves huge amounts of money.”

“ We’re about to make some changes.” -Shaunda Clark, GM

Feedback from Tubby’s customers is important is making any changes to a business model that is obviously working. The single location serves more than 3,500 customers a week who represent a diverse range of demographics. With 96 table seats, a large deck, a bar and a banquet facility to keep occupied, change doesn’t come quickly – and certainly isn’t approached without good data. Its own data seems to be quantified by a national survey. In its annual survey of more than 1800 chefs, the National Restaurant Association identified growing consumer demand for gluten-free dishes, locally sourced sustainable seafood and nutrition-themed menus as hot topics for 2013. Clark says Live Oak management is already looking at those trends – and trying to assess what changes may be in the future. Tubby’s stands as an example of a longtime eatery remaining relevant – to consumers’ demands, a changing business climate and evolving environmental standards. These enthusiastic young fishermen have created a company that now employs more than 350 workers and has found a place in the gastronomic hearts of generations of Savannahians.

“ OW- SHE’S A BRICK HOUSE

MIGHTY MIGHTY JUST LETTIN’ IT ALL HANG OUT ” - “Brick House” by The Commodores

by David Gignilliat

Written by David Gignilliat

he Brick House, Savannah’s newest entry into the area’s competitive bbq landscape, may have opened its doors just a few months ago, but if early indications are correct, its rockabilly vibe, distinctive barbecue and Southern-tinged treats are sure enough to bring a man to his knees.

The new eatery takes the spot previously occupied by Blowin’ Smoke, which is moving to the former Sol location on Habersham Street. And while, barbecue remains the name of the game at the Martin Luther King Boulevard location, Chef Donnie Simmons is applying his own distinctive flair to the menu. “I’m taking things that I saw my grandmother do as I grew up and I put my own twist on it,” says Simmons. “I do some things that people normally would not eat and make it “fun.” Simmons has been in this type of work all his life, bussing tables as a teenager, working his way up through restaurant kitchens and eventually doing catering work in the music industry (“working with rock and roll stars,” he says). 34

EAT | W E L LFEDS AVAN N AH .CO M

Most recently, he’s been part of the team that brought downtown diners Broughton Street’s Taco Abajo, which features the same ownership group. Simmons is excited about this latest venture. “We have been talking with several people in town and they kept pushing for me to do a BBQ place and I finally had the opportunity for the building and ran with it,” says Simmons.. One Brick House signature item is ribs, which are served only a few days a week to maximize freshness. “I am doing ribs only on Saturday and Sundays to make sure that they are never reheated improperly like 99% of places that use a microwave to heat them up,” says Simmons. “I will never compromise my product.” Another of Simmons’ unique techniques is applied to his wings, which are smoked instead of breaded. They are fried for crispness, and are a gluten-free alternative for those with dietary restrictions. The wings are offered in several flavors, including some novel takes like pepper jelly, tobacco raisin, Old Bay and bacon ranch.

The eatery also features sauces (all made from scratch) from all of the country’s major BBQ hotbeds (North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Kansas City, Georgia and the signature Brick House sauce.)

For those looking to wash down a delicious meal with cold suds, the Brick House has a beer menu that leans heavily toward craft beers (all featured in cans), and deep assortment of small-batch whiskeys and gins.

The menu’s sandwiches include a clam strip Po’ Boy, a smoked pork chop (with SC mustard sauce, pickle relish and fried onions), pulled chicken and pork barbecue. The burgers are eight-ounce patties, and include the “Rockabilly” (deep-fried with pimento cheese) and the Carolina (topped with chili and cole slaw).

On Fridays, the Brick House offers fried fish, cornmeal-dusted filets of catfish (a basket with fries and a side for $11) and on Thursdays brisket (a half-pound portion with a side for $12)

Pulled pork, smoked chicken and smoked

The Brick House opened in March just before St. Patrick’s Day, and has quickly established itself as one of downtown’s go-to depots for delicious down-home cooking.

sausage are featured in appetite-friendly platter versions, and come with two sides and a chunk of corn bread or a hoe cake. Specialty platters include a Brunswick stew pot pie, slow-smoked oxtails and fried chicken livers – each with a pair of sides and corn bread or hoe cake. Sides include Southern staples like potato salad, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, baked beans, red cabbage slaw, cucumbers and onions, green beans, hand-cut fries and onion rings, and are available in personal, half-pint, pint and quart portions For a decadent indulgence, there’s the Moon Pie Burger, featuring an eight-ounce burger between a pair of single-decker chocolate Moon Pies and strips of candied bacon. The “Brick House Challenge,” taunts adventurous diners can try to finish a monster-sized burger (a one-pound beef pattie, one pound of smoked sausage, one pound of pulled pork, a scoop of cole slaw, a pint of mac and cheese stacked between two hoe cakes) in 45 minutes or less and it’s free.

Beginning last month, Brick House initiated themed events on Saturdays, including pig-pickings, oyster roasts (in the beer garden), charity events and live music.

“The business has been great,” says Simmons. “We have a great lunch crowd and dinner time is great also, now I am putting a plan together for a cool happy hour.” -“Stay tuned,” he adds. Brick House is located at 514 Martin Luther King Blvd., and is open for lunch and dinner Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. For more information, visit the restaurant’s Facebook page or at the company website (coming soon) at www. brickhousesav.com

The combination of great local ingredients features a hint of flavors from Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula – that’s where you find me when I’m not in Savannah. It’s a light and tasty choice to help beat the summer heat and goes great with a glass of Torrontes or a bubbly Cava.

LOCAL DINING SCENE CHANGING IT UP:

Blowin’ Smoke Southern Cantina Midtown resident’s can’t help but notice the almost daily changes that have been happening at the former location of Sol on Habersham. While they kept the name, the new incarnation of Blowin Smoke is more Cantina than its former BBQ fame. While they kept some of the favorites, like the Flintstone Ribs and their monster smoker; this ever evolving menu really shines with their new latin inspired sauces and Southern takes on classic Mexican and South American fare.

OPENING THIS MONTH:

Bier Haus The Bier Haus, the Old World beer bar being opened by Marshall Urstadt, faced some obstacles in its build-out but is anticipated to be opening mid-May. The menu focuses on German and Belgian foods; the beer list is Savannah’s only selection of exclusively Belgian and German beers. Urstadt was former owner of Chiriya’s Thai Cuisine. Get a full look at the restaurant and bar in the June issue of Well FED.

MAKING A COMEBACK:

COMING THIS SUMMER: Chive Sea Bar & Lounge Chive Sea Bar and Lounge is the newest project of veteran restaurant operators Sean and Ele Tran. The couple has a reputation of building out beautiful restaurants, and this new location at the bustling corner of Bull and Broughton streets should be no exception. The concept is fresh seafood platters in prepared cold and hot dishes. The concept was tried a few years ago by another operator in the former Sparetime location – but if anyone can make it work, it’s the Trans. The couple’s other restaurants include Tangerine, Ele, The King and I and Fire Street Food.

COMING NEXT YEAR: Top Chef Italian James Beard Foundation Award winner Hugh Acheson is opening an Italian restaurant in Savannah in 2014. The chef, author, restaurateur, television personality, and “Chopped” judge broke the news online in an interview with Atlanta Magazine and in a Tweet. Acheson has three restaurants in Georgia: Five and Ten and The National in Athens – Empire State South in Atlanta. Acheson acknowledges that the location is two stories and “in a former Ice plant;” locals quickly identify that as the One West Victory development. Demolition has begun inside that building, located on the south side of Victory Drive between Bull and Barnard streets.

Speaking of Chiriya’s, Marshall’s aunt Chiriya is reopening her eponymous eatery in the former Kao Thai Cuisine on Victory Drive.
