Taste of the Town celebrates 36 years with Myrtle Beach food, new surprises

10/21/2019

Known as the "The Grand Strand's Premier Culinary Event," the 36th annual Taste of the Town will treat folks to super good food from some of the area's best restaurants. There will also be a few surprises in store, too.
Picture
So, mark the date, friends. The Taste of the Town will be held November 5, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. 

Here's some background on the event.
​Since 1956, St. Andrew Catholic School has provided students in grades Kindergarten through Eighth with an education of academic excellence that is rooted in faith and love. St. Andrew embraces the community through school-wide service projects, instilling in its students the importance and value of living a life of “service beyond self”.

In 1984, a creative group of parents organized the first Taste of the Town as a fundraiser for St. Andrew Catholic School. The event made its debut hosting about 20 restaurants and gained immediate popularity in the Myrtle Beach community.  Over the years, locals and visitors look forward to attending this premier culinary event.

Today, Taste of the Town features many of the Grand Strand’s Finest Restaurants, culinary awards, live entertainment, silent auction, and is poised as the most highly anticipated food festivals.  Taste of the Town’s growing success is made possible by the generous contributions of local businesses through various levels of sponsorship.

Taste of the Town is the primary annual fundraiser for St. Andrew Catholic School.  The event's proceeds benefit the school’s Capital Improvement Fund for purchase of items such as playground equipment, structural renovations, and new technology.  

St. Andrew Catholic School gives back to the community by donating a portion of the proceeds to various local organizations including Help 4 Kids and Catholic Charities.  

Taste of the Town is a Non-Profit Organization.  Donations are tax-deductible.

October's Simply Amazing Dish of the Month: Carolina Beef Brisket @ Southern Comforts, Southern Dining & Seafood Shack

10/5/2019

There's no better way to bring in October than awarding the Simply Amazing Dish of the Month to a well-deserving dish.

And let me show (and tell) you, it's worth two or three trips.

The Carolina Beef Brisket at Southern Comforts, Southern Dining and Seafood Shack in The Hammock Shops is this month's winner and chef Greg Metcalfe has worked years to perfect the tasty dish.

The brisket is rubbed and slow roasted until you can cut with a fork and comes out with the famous molasses BBQ sauce. It's served with two homemade sides. The award-winning dish was paired with mac & cheese and beans.

Every bite of the brisket melted in my mouth. It was so good. 

Go by and try this month's award-winning dish. You're mouth will appreciate your choice.

Chef's Spotlight: PaulKelly Renault

Chef PaulKelly Renault showered with praise over the local grouper dish he prepared

In 2008, Chive Blossom Cafe chef and owner Trina Renault brought a culinary treasure to her location and hasn't looked back.

That treasure is chef PaulKelly Renault (P.K. to friends and locals). 

His attention to detail and consistency is bar none. Plus, his great personality is like extra seasoning. It adds to the dish and restaurant.

The local grouper dish won the Simply Amazing Dish of the Month award in April of this year. It barely beat out the Blackened Pork Porterhouse. See the photos below and a video from the past, where Renault cooks a potato encrusted trout with Bob Redfern.

We are so glad the Renaults and Chive Blossom are part of Georgetown County's culinary adventure.

Front Street will be packed full of people on October 19 and 20 this year for the 30th annual Georgetown Boat Show. It's always a festive time, and both locals and tourists come out to enjoy the folks crafting boats under time constraints, seeing the same boats put into the Sampit River and watching whether or not they sink. 

And while you are out and about taking in the festivities, you can rest assured knowing there will be plenty of restaurants open to feed you.

If you crave some great Mexcian food, Alfresco's Taqueria & Cantina will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 

You can start your day off during the event at Coffee Break Cafe with an awesome breakfast and great coffee. Open both Saturday and Sunday. 

​And the place that never closes, Buzz's Roost, will be open and serving food and drinks. You can also enjoy a great view of the harbor, too.

And who doesn't love ice cream? Sweeties Homemade Ice Cream and Sweets will be open, selling their creamy and delicious ice cream outside the store. 

There will be others open, so make sure you walk the street and look out for them. 

We hope you enjoy the annual wooden boat show and the culinary adventure of Front Street while doing so. 

Make sure you click the names of those restaurants above. They are hyperlinked to their Facebook pages.
