Lox and bagel

Jerk Chicken & Pineapple Overload

Did some grilled jerk chicken with grilled pineapple. However, that just wasn't enough for the pineapple. I then made a side of pineapple, garlic, and mushrooms with a honey teriyaki reduction. I then made some couscous and replaced most of the water with pineapple juice. All of it was most excellent!

The Perfect Hot Dog

Sure this is a matter of debate and opinion, but this is my favorite hot dog and how to eat it. Hebrew National Hot Dog grilled and served on a fresh baked bun with sauerkraut and Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Bagel & Lox...

Where is the best place in Savannah to get Bagel & Lox? The hospital of course. The only bagel shop in town is located inside the Heart & Vascular building at Memorial Health. Shame we can't get one free standing and one that is also open on weekends, but I guess this will have to do.

Lunch at Magnolia's in Charleston

Charleston SC is full of great food, but when you are wanting some great food in a causal uptown environment you go to Magnolia's. We started off with the massive plate of Housemade Potato Chips. These chips are covered with warm and gooey crumbled blue cheese and scallions. For my main course I got the Parmesan Crusted Flounder. This was served over Carolina rice and creek shrimp purloo with sweet corn, tomato and asparagus salad, lump crab and a lemon beurre blanc. It was a nice treat to find the rice and shrimp under the corn salad. I highly recommend this restaurant or one of their other 2 sister restaurants on your next trip to Charleston.

Served with cole slaw and sweet potato fries.

Cuban Sandwich from Loco's

In Cuba they just call this a sandwich.

Salmon Spinach Salad w/ Pineapple-Mango Salsa

Bakes salmon on top of fresh spinach, mushrooms, sweet orange and yellow peppers, pita chips and a balsamic dressing that I made. I then made a pineapple-mango salsa to go on top of the salmon. In this was pineapple, mango, tomato, Vidalia Onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice. A little scallion was used as a garnish and to give just a little more bite to the salad. Everything about this salad was perfect. Especially for dinner on a summers night.

Grocery Store Sushi

Spicy Tuna Roll and a California Roll from The Fresh Market.

Sonoma Grilled Chicken Salad from Longhorn

Fresh grilled chicken, provolone & feta, pepperoncini peppers, red onion and tomato- basil salsa. Served over crisp romaine tossed in balsamic vinaigrette. Don't know why I never had this salad before from there, but I will have it again. It is pretty damn good.

Flank Steak & Cheese Sandwich from Toucan Cafe

Toucan Cafe is a great restaurant here in Savannah that offers a comfortable island flair setting along with food that is inspired from Greek, Indian, Jamaican, and traditional American backgrounds. Today one of the chefs specials was a flank steak and cheese sandwich. It was well prepared and was one of the best steak and cheese sandwiches I have ever eaten. On top of the grilled flank steak was sweet peppers, caramelized onions, mushrooms, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and an aioli. They also bring out to every table their fresh baked bread of the day and garlic butter. If you are looking for a place to eat in Savannah, that isn't downtown or crawling with tourists, check out Toucan Cafe (or their sister restaurant Sweet Potatoes). You won't be disappointed!

Watermelon & Midori Chi Chi from Pool Bar Jim's....

How do you beat the heat on a hot summer day? There is no better way to beat it than a fresh fruit drink from Pool Bar Jim's in Hilton Head. Today we tried something new and created our own drink. We wanted something melon and went with a Watermelon Chi Chi. The drink is made with vodka, pineapple juice, coconut creme, and watermelon. We then added the midori for some extra melon flavor. Very tasty and very refreshing. The vodka doesn't hurt either.

Grouper Melt from Captain Woody's

Not many things in this world better than the signature sandwich from Captain Woody's at Palmetto Bay Marina in Hilton Head. This is a beautiful piece of grouper that is fried and then topped with onions, mushrooms, and cheese. It is served on a fresh kaiser roll and I added some tarter sauce to it as well. This is heaven on a bun.
