Valentines Week is upon us. You know that week where women demand, guys overspend to impress and Hallmark makes out like a bandit? Yeah, that one. I have definite opinions of “Valentines Day” but I will save that for another time. But while everyone is feeling lovey-dovey this week, here we go:
- Looking for something different to do this Valentines Day? Hunter Cattle Company is offering a wonderful evening under the stars. Read more about it here.
- Several restaurants offering special Valentines Day menus. Here is one of them.
- Ok, enough of that mushy stuff. I’m done with it.
I had a dish called “Turkish Eggs” at Goose Feathers Cafe this week. I had no idea what to expect. What I got was a wonderful mix of flavors. Light and filling. What was it? Two poached eggs on a little bit of garlic-infused low fat organic yogurt, a drizzle of clarified butter, some diced and roasted green and red peppers, a dash of paprika and a flash fried sage leaf for garnish. Sounds fancy, but it’s really easy. And it was really, really good. Only $7.
- Iron Chef 2014 is coming to the Southern Women’s Show on February 23rd. Four chefs, one hour, one secret ingredient, and one champion. Read more here.
- I had a little…uh…incident?…with a local BBQ establishment recently. Check it out here.
Had to giggle the other night when Celebrity Chef Hugh Acheson, in town apparently to check on the progress of his new restaurant The Florence, sent out this tweet.
- Welcome to Savannah, Hugh.
- Chef Hugh also mentioned that night that The Florence will likely open in May. (We had hoped for April).
- New Greek spot opening in Ardsley Park in Savannah. Yia Yia’s Kitchen. Habersham and 48th.
- Blake’s Fresh Local Dining is getting some buzz on Wilmington Island. The Eat Squad has visited. Look for a review very soon.
- Foxy Loxy on Bull Street near the Main Library now open on Sundays with a new Brunch menu.
Looking ahead, it’s not too early to start making plans for the Hilton Head Wine and Food Festival. March 10-15, 2014. I spent a good bit of time there last year and the Grand Tasting on Friday night is one of the best evenings/values you will find in the region.
