This Saturday, August 23, Fuel is throwing a back-to-school block party extravaganza from 3-9 p.m. It may not actually be on Cannon Street, but the Caribbean cantina is gating off their entire property — parking lot, backyard, patio — to have a day-long soiree with music, food, and some honkey-tonk games like a corn hole [...]

WOW! What a treat it was recently when Sean Brock called up and invited me out to view the McCrady’s Farm (including the new pork project that helps turn the farm waste into sausage) and for dinner at the Wadmalaw Supper Club, a private club of farmers and good ole’ boys that have been gathering [...]
If you missed the Today Show this morning, meaning if you have a job and don’t lie around all day watching TV off an antenna, then you’ll have to pick up the Internet stream of Jimmy Hagood and the Blackjack BBQ team here. Jimmy and the boys left the “Big Red Rig” up in NYC [...]
