Try Something New Today

I love to try new food!

Today I took my family to a small Mexican restaurant in the “downtown” are near the old Pavilion. It is called City Café and I had met the chef at a fundraiser function awhile back. It was a great lunch, ceviche, fresh fruit, gazpacho, marinated cactus salad, braised pork shoulder, pozole, menudo, slow cooked beans with pork, roasted potatoes with chorizo and cheese. Really great stuff

I am also watching for a new Lebanese market to open near my home and the Hard Rock Park, called Habibi’s Market. I will let you know when they open!

I love walking through one of the Asian markets here, the Hong Kong on 8th avenue or the Socastee Market, both have exotic and unfamiliar ingredients to try, as well as things that have become staples in my house.

My point to all this is, get out there, seek out the little places in your town or neighborhood, try new stuff, enjoy food! And when you find something great, pass it along so others can discover it!

Take care and Ciao,

Chef Kurt
