Inauguration Celebration

A little late on the notice, but I wanted to let everyone know that Roy and Sid’s American Kitchen is having an all day Inauguration Celebration in honor of our new president, Barrack Obama

We will be showing the Inauguration coverage all day on the two wide screen TV’s in our bar area and featuring half priced appetizers all day in our bar area as well. Of course, we have some of Barrack’s favorite foods including chili (ours is a white chicken and bean chili), Cheeseburgers (USDA Prime ground beef, the best in town), and BBQ Ribs.

Roy and Sid’s American Kitchen is in the Market Common, next to P.F. Chang’s, and always features reasonably priced, honest, fresh American cuisine. Our address is 1160 Farrow Parkway; phone is 843-839-9770.

Ciao!

Chillin’ with Seafood

The cold weather has made me uncomfortable, the heater is running (which means a higher bill), but it also means that local shellfish are at their peak. If you live anywhere on either coast, I highly recommend looking for specials featuring or buying and cooking some clams, mussels, or oysters.

I just bought two different clams for the restaurants. One was a cherrystone from Snead’s Ferry, NC. Cherrystone are the bigger ones, great for eating raw (they taste like the ocean) or steaming and chopping for tossing with pasta. The other was a littleneck from McClellanville. I love these raw or simply steamed in the pan with garlic, white wine, butter, parsley, and lemon. Really amazing stuff. Email me of you would like a source, I always love to share what I have learned.

I also bought some oysters from McClellanville. Amazing flavor. I mean salty and briny, firm, with a hint of acidity, wonderful. I had a bushel down in Beaufort, SC a few weeks back and these were as good or better.

Point is, no produce other than sweet potatoes and collards to be found ( now I love sweet potatoes and collards, don’t; get me wrong), but the seafood is amazing this time of year.

Take care, Cook well, Eat well, Live well.
