*Running off at the keyboard counting down to St. Patrick’s Day. Yes, I am.
*Sweet Patricia’s is Savannah’s newest neighborhood bakery. They opened right on schedule last Saturday the 18th. It’s a good one. Read more about them here and make plans to stop by. You won’t be disappointed.
*If you follow along on Instagram (and if you don’t, why not?) you will see I have mentioned one of Savannah’s best chicken sandwiches on there. It’s available at the lobby bar inside of The Thompson Hotel at Savannah’s Eastern Wharf project. You can only get it during happy hour. 4pm-6pm. It’s a great great chicken sandwich and will only set you back $12.
*Our Saturday March 4th Brunch event at VICI Rooftop sold out in 16 days. Much quicker than expected. So the guys at VICI have added a smaller Sunday seating. Same 3 courses for $35++ offerings on Sunday March 5th at 11:30am. Click here for more information and a link to tickets
*The Wyld Dock Bar resumes Dinner service for the season Tuesday, February 21st. They had been closing at 5pm for the Winter. Spring is around the corner, peeps.
*Speaking of great seafood….The Hilton Head Island Seafood Festival is this week. The main event next Saturday will be at Shelter Cove Marina from 1pm-4:30pm. A beautiful setting for a great event.
*More good eats in Savannah. Slow Fire BBQ is a new food truck on the scene. Solid. Find their schedule on social media and eat it and like it.
*Who makes your favorite Espresso Martini? Leave us a comment or email us at tips@eatitandlikeit.com We are on a particular mission.
*Good news all the way around at Cotton and Rye. Last week they revealed their brand new food truck. Hot Rye. It will be parked outside of Cotton and Rye and offering lunch a few days a week. Their first lunch is a still a few weeks out yet, but you can follow on Instagram at @hotryesavannah.
*Here’s a quick story I got a kick out of a couple of weeks ago up in Charleston. I was sitting at Hank’s Seafood next to a couple from Michigan. I watched her order Shrimp and Grits, she said, for the first time. “I’ve never had a grit.” she said. The plate came out and it was beautiful. It smelled great too. She ate every bite and then said “I could eat that every day.” Welcome to The South, young lady.
*It always makes us happy when people trust to take a road trip to eat some food we’ve recommended. It happened last weekend when we got some photos from Chrissy Slater in Pooler. She and her husband made their way to Beedo’s Burgers in St. Helena Island. “It’s maybe the best smash burger I’ve ever had.” she said. Yes, they are that good.
*If you’ve been following us for a minute, then you may remember the Eat It and Like It Foodie Awards. Our ‘Best Of” event. It’s back. April 23rd. Savannah’s BEST night in food. But more on that next week.
