MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The Myrtle Beach Area Hospitality Association will host its 13th Annual Trio Dinner on Monday, April 1, 2019, at the Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel, the host sponsor. It will start at 6:30 p.m. 
​
The Trio Dinner is the culmination of a culinary arts mentorship program that pairs a professional chef with two students, one in high school and one in college. Each trio will showcase its unique cuisine at the Trio Dinner. Along with excellent fare, the event includes hors d’oeuvres by Grand Strand Provisions, a cocktail bar, live entertainment with U-N-I Jazz and a silent auction benefiting hospitality educational programming.

High school students participating in the mentorship program are from the Academy for Technology and Academics. This magnet school receives students from throughout Horry County, who have an opportunity to sample hospitality courses including culinary arts in the middle and early high school years. The college students completing the trio are from the International Culinary Institute of Myrtle Beach at Horry-Georgetown Technical College.

The Trio Dinner’s purpose is to support and promote the hospitality industry’s culinary arts profession and to give each student real-world experience in creating an original dish with the guidance of an executive chef. This event is very important to the Grand Strand culinary arts programs. A portion of the proceeds of the event go to MBAHA scholarship funds for Hospitality and Culinary education in our local institutions.

In addition to creating wonderful dishes and working with students, chefs will have the opportunity to enter one dish to be judged for the “Best Dish” and “People’s Choice” awards. Knowing chefs are as competitive as they are creative, this allows participating chefs to show off their skills and be recognized for it. We will have a combination of celebrity chef judges and local American Culinary Federation judges for the event.

We're kicking off 2019 with 5 daily dishes winning the Simply Amazing Dish of the Month. That's right. A "meat plus three" daily special is the first recipient for this year.

The Ball & Que restaurant has five different daily specials, one for each day of the week. We think all five are worthy of the award - and worthy of your taste buds. 

Make it out and visit with Joann, Tammy and their staff this month and enjoy a daily special. You'll be glad you did. 

Want to also note the cutting board. It's provided by Hot Bloxx Cutting Boards and will be featured for each monthly dish selected. 

The Georgetown Business Association's annual Kringle Krawl is tonight. 

Lanyards are still available and are $8, cash or check payable to Georgetown Business Association. You can purchase at 904 Front Street. 

Lanyard will enter you into cash and prize drawings at the end of the night.

December's Simply Amazing Dish of the Month comes from a restaurant that's new to Front Street in Georgetown. 

Owner Jimmy Pronesti's Root only opened less than a month ago and Chef David Cochrane has consistently been putting out great dishes. The award winner is no different.

It's the Beef Short Ribs!

It's red wine-braised and over Anson Mills polenta, roasted root vegetables, gremolata, local greens and gravy. The meat is so moist and succulent, it's cuts with just a fork. And the polenta pairing is just right touch.

Go by Root at 919 Front Street and for the dish by name! It won't disappoint!

Chef and Owner Greg Metcalfe thought he had a day off. The official grand opening of Southern Comforts, Southern Dining & Seafood Shack in the Hammock Shops Village changed that.

For the good, may I add. 

More than 25 people braved the cold evening to join in the celebration hosted by the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce. Not only did the guests get to sample some tasty offerings, they also heard from Metcalfe his plans to open a second restaurant in the previous location. It'll be a tex-mex flavorful explosion. 

The restaurant featured today has a 120-seat event center that can host all of your holiday festivities. So, if you are a business trying to decide where to have your Christmas party, this is the spot!

Enjoy the photos from today's grand opening and come experience a great meal! 

On the evening of November 29, 2018, some distinct and pleasuring wines offered by Coastal Wine Boutique in the Hammock Shops (with another location in Myrtle Beach) paired with "sweet and savory" tastes from Incredible Edibles in Pawleys Island took customers on a pallet-pleasing cruise of excellent flavors. 

Five unique world wines, including the Ukrainian Korolevskoe Shabo semi-sweet red wine, complimented delicious tastes that really matched well.

Enjoy the photos below and stop in either shop to create your own pairing combinations! 

Even the cancellation of this year's Christmas parade couldn't damper the children's spirit as they walked into Harborside Seafood and Italian restaurant to see and eat breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Clause.

The annual event benefits Miss Ruby's Kids, a nonprofit group enabling vulnerable families and caregivers to inspire a passion for learning in their children. They help prepare parents to be their child’s first, best teacher and support both parents and child throughout the child’s school career.

And today's event is just one such way of broadening that support. 

Turnout was heavy and all the people who attended were wearing festive smiles and joyful patience as the children waited in line to see Santa and tell him their wishes!

Owner and Chef Christopher Mitchel and his staff continuously outdo themselves with each event. The breakfast, consisting of pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, hot chocolate with marshmallows and apple and orange juice, did not disappoint. 

We hope you enjoy the photos from this year's Breakfast with Santa and ask you consider donating to Miss Ruby's Kids this Christmas.
