Right out of the box, I will share that I am a sucker for a great steak. Steak is my thing. Apparently always has been. My dad used to tell me that as a child, I’d eat my steak and then finish anyone else’s at the dinner table. So no secret that all these years […]
Interesting dynamic we have with Eat It and Like It. I think it is at any rate. I honestly don’t have any point of reference to compare it to. It’s just my experience as a producer and host of a very popular television show. What am I speaking of? Re-runs. I get stopped by fans

Since food became business for me, I don’t cook for my family nearly as much as I used to. I do miss it, but I just don’t have as much down time as I used to. A few days ago, I did get the opportunity to cook and something happened that stuck with me. It

Running off at the keyboard while everything turns green around me. ‘Tis the Season. We must begin with a huge welcome back to our friends at Betty Bombers on Bull Street, downtown Savannah. They re-opened 10 months after a devastating fire to huge crowds. Well deserved. Some of the best casual grub in town. Shameless

Shortly after I moved to Savannah the first time in April of 1999, I got invited to a party. A friend had invited my wife for a “cocktail party” at The Mulberry Hotel on Bay Street. I was a weekend sports anchor at WSAV at the time and most of my evenings were free to
“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.” Yes – a famous quote from Rick Blaine (a/k/a Humphrey Bogart) in Casablanca. Joe and MariElena Raya met while studying at The Culinary Institute of America, which, in my opinion is much more exciting than in a smoky,

There’s a new restaurant in town. Wait, does Wilmington Island count as “in town”? Even if you live elsewhere, it’s worth a short drive out to Lili’s Restaurant and Bar. Look for the Spanish style building shared with an orthodontist along Johnny Mercer Boulevard. I just might have missed it if I weren’t so determined
