Midway BBQ – Buffalo, SC (Photo Blog Post)

The dish, two above, is chicken stew – the reason we went to Midway, in Buffalo, SC.  As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.

Jackie Hite’s Bar-B-Q – Batesburg-Leesville, SC

 We first tried to eat at Jackie Hites Bar-B-Q several years ago. I can’t tell you exactly when it was, but I do know that it was a Tuesday. “How do I know”, you ask? My notes are very clear (in BOLD CAPS) that they are closed for lunch on Tuesday. They’re pretty clear […]

Mac’s Drive In – Pendleton, SC (Photo Blog Post)

After looking around at our dining companions, the guy next to me had a burger on grilled white bread, which looked excellent, like a grilled cheese with a beef patty on it.  But I had chose a double cheeseburger plate. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the […]

BBQ Barn – North Augusta, SC

Since we hadn’t driven anywhere lately, we took off this weekend up to Fayetteville, NC to visit our daughter and her husband.  If you’d have asked me the best way to get from Atlanta to Fayetteville, I never would have guessed that you would take I-20 east until it ends and drive briefly north, but […]

The Rodney Scott in Exile Tour, at Gunshow – Atlanta, GA

After the smokehouse at Scott’s Bar-b-que in Hemingway, SC, burned down last November, members of the Fatback Collective brought some of its members together to put on the “Rodney Scott in Exile Tour”, bringing Rodney Scott and his whole hog barbecue to towns around the South.  The Atlanta stop was on Monday, at Gunshow, where […]

The Glass Onion- Charleston, SC

As we were heading to Charleston, I only had two places on my food list, the Glass Onion and Martha Lou’s Kitchen.  We heard about the Glass Onion on Road Trip with G. Garvin on the Travel Channel.  Then I found out they had been on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  And then I read an […]

Sweatman’s Barbecue – Eutawville, SC

On the way back home from Charleston to Atlanta, I knew that I’d have one chance for roadside barbecue.  Four or five years ago, a friend of mine from Charlotte sent me a list of great barbecue places in the Carolinas.  Only four of those were in South Carolina and Sweatman’s Barbecue (in his words […]

Fish – Charleston, SC

With the package that we booked at the Francis Marion Hotel, they gave us gift certificates that could be used at a number of restaurants around the hotel.  For our last night in the city, we decided to use several of those and chose Fish.  It is a locally sourced, eclectic French-Thai fusion restaurant.  When […]

Husk – Charleston, SC

As we prepared to head to Charleston I researched all my food sources and without question every one of them said that we should have a meal at Husk.  About three weeks before we left I started trying to make a reservation.  I looked at Tuesday night.  Then Wednesday night.  Then Thursday night.  And there […]

Hominy Grill-Charleston South Carolina

One of the other places on my South Carolina list, was the Hominy Grill.  The recommendation there, from the Garden & Gun 50 Best Southern Foods, was for the high-rise biscuits: “High-Rise Biscuit, 
Hominy Grill – Charleston is a town full of biscuit pushers, but nobody has quite the mastery over this Southern staple as […]
