I recently did a story on Krazy K's BBQ Sauce and wanted to try them. I had received samples last month and found time to do just that. Let's see which sauce I preferred! I had some pulled pork separated in three portions which a sauce on each. There's Original, "Kurly Tails" and "Red" and they are very distinct. I first tried the vinegar-based Original sauce, blended from apple cider vinegar with portioned sugars and spices. It was not as potent as other vinegar sauces I've had before. Pretty flavorful and compliments the meat rather than overpowering it. Next was the "Kurly Tails" sauce. This is mustard-based with a balanced mixture of honey and molasses. You could taste immediately the sweetness. It's a sauce that I would use to introduce people to mustard bases who are worried about mustardy potency. It's there, but nothing like a mustard you'd use on a hamburger or hot dog. Some people think that when they see mustard. This sauce is spot on for the treatment of the meat and tongue! Finally, the "Red" sauce. Tomato-based with a "sugar-tweek" and some "sweet-heat". Yeah, it's true. This is by far my top choice. I loved how it complimented the flavors of the pork, but didn't drown them out. You get that sweety heaty aftertaste, but not a burny one. It's addictive. I even put some on chicken pilau and it was so good! All three are excellent in the flavor combinations. Try them and see if you end up with the same choice I made! Had to stop in and see David Milligan. He posted a status on the Milligan's at Belle Isle Facebook page that caught my attention. Seems Chef Justin was going to go all Spanish that night! And he sure did. The special was Shellfish Paella with chicken and sausage. And if you know anything about this dish, the wait is part of the appeal. Blending the right flavors and ingredients is a true art, something Justin has been extensively trained in. The result proved he passed with flying colors when in culinary class. He actually trained in Spain, folks. I enjoyed every bit of it. The sampling above shows the fine attention to detail. Such a quaint portion, but it packed a powerful punch of zesty flavor! While you #shopsmall today in #MyGeorgetown, make sure to include our great #restaurants! They work hard to serve you.
It's Labor Day Weekend 2017. Time to end Summer officially with one last hurrah! Enjoy the day off from work and school. Spend time with the family and be thankful for what our work produces in enjoying the fruits of our labor.
Let's also think about the restaurants in Georgetown County as they work hard to bring you a great dining experience. Their dedication to pleasing customers and earning regulars, both local and tourist alike, should be commended. Give a little extra tip to your waiter or waitress. Thank the table cleaner for being on point and not keeping you waiting to be seated too long. Thank the managers for running a tight ship. Thank the owners for living their dream in providing a great place to eat. Restaurants are the backbone of our community. It's where we meet and have conversations on topics of the day. It's where we enjoy the good times and make the bad times disappear for a few hours. Enjoy this Labor Day and be thank those who work to provide for you as well as themselves. Wouldn't it be cool to see Rustic Table featured on Guy Fieri's hit show Diners, Drive-Ins, Dives? How about Caffe Piccolo? The River Room? Georgetown, or #MyGeorgetown as known to social media hashers, has a vast array of choices for this super restaurant-spotlighting show. For Guy, he has to hear from us! So, why not send him a message about your favorite Georgetown restaurant and let's make some noise in supporting our eateries! Hmm... Wicked Tuna? Rollin Local? Prosser's BBQ? Milligan's at Belle Isle? Ball & Que? Atlantic House? Whatever your fave is, drop Guy a line and let's get Triple D in Georgetown! Exposure on a national television show is what all our eateries in Georgetown deserve. Click the button below and write away! Hey, Eddy. Thank you for the brief but powerful restaurant venture known as Eddy Chacon's Restaurant, located where Land's End used to be.
You and your team provided a great dining atmosphere and awesome dishes. Although you've decided to focus on Alfresco Georgetown Bistro, please know your second effort didn't go unnoticed. Very much appreciated! My first time at Landolfi's in Pawleys Island was really exciting.
Sat outside, but it's not really outside. Covered deck style, with brick outlay (adjustable screen enclosure to keep bugs out) and even a fireplace for those chilly nights. The most exciting feature I enjoyed was the ringside seat to the entry/exit way for the back parking lot. Talk about your mad rush. From 5 p.m. until, droves of vehicles were coming to the back lot to acquire a parking space for the evening. Very few people were leaving. It really was like people were arriving late for school or work, however, they seemed to be super excited to be away from that and arriving here for their reward! And the take-out business is booming. This place must be good if people bypass certain spots that provide easy take-out to fight for a parking spot just to pick up an order. With that being said, let's get to the reason I visited... the food. The hoagies and subs are fresh and flavorful. Portion size is on point. The pizzas, oh my gosh, are so good. You'd think they would have originated the dish itself. Several unique pizza offerings are available and you can build your own. Get here early. I mean it. The food is definitely worth its weight in gold. Look above. That dish is so inviting. The color, texture of food and portion size is superb. And it was such a rewarding entree. The Seafood Pasta (Penne Pasta with Shrimp, Scallops, Lobster & Crab, Sauteed Spinach in a Seafood Cream Sauce) was exactly what I craved on an evening when I just wanted to unwind and enjoy family time. The pasta was cooked just right. Shrimp were robust, flavorful and plentiful. Lobster, scallops and crab were also in the dish. You could not go wrong with this special. My wife had the Grilled Seafood Risotto above (Flounder, Shrimp and Scallops over a bed of Mushroom Risotto) and she was in heaven. Definitely would order again. The fish was cooked to perfection, shrimp were plump and tasty. Scallops melted in your mouth.
We had a tableside view of the marina. The service was spot on. Could not ask for a better evening at Chacon's of Georgetown. If you're a tourist and are wanting to find a huge list of restaurants in Georgetown County, then look no further than South Carolina's Hammock Coast!
This list will satisfy all your taste buds when visiting our area. Oh, and it would not hurt all you locals out there to visit this site and see what you may or may not have tried! Please, share this post with all you know and help our restaurants gain the well deserved traction they need! Click the image below! ![]() This evening at Chacon's is a must for locals and tourists alike. Eddy's Outdoor Grilling will continue, starting at 6 p.m., and if it's anything like the first, it's going to be totally packed! The every Sunday event features Ribeyes, Filets or Half Chickens with Potatoes, Corn, Peppers, Pineapple Summer Vodka Cocktail! (The dinner menu is available also.) I urge all of you reading this to make plans for a great evening tonight and every Sunday night at Chacon's. The 2015 Recreational Baseball/Softball regular season is over. This year was special because of the many restaurants sponsoring teams that hadn't before.
So, just a quick note of thanks to all the restaurants that sponsored a team. It made a huge impact not only with the teams, but for the kids as well. For those new restaurants out there (and those who did not sponsor this year), please consider it for 2016. Not only will it cover the costs of uniforms for the kids playing, but it gets your name out there on those ball fields. And, trust me, when we parents are starving we'll want something to eat. Quick. Contact the Georgetown Baseball/Softball Booster Club for details on next season. You can find them on Facebook. I wish everyone a happy 4th of July! Please consider dining in one of our great Georgetown restaurants (if open) and spend some time with those who are working to provide an excellent patriotic experience.
