With Big Jones stepping up its game, and Garden & Gun arriving any day in the mailbox, it seems like Low Country's the new something this year. And we're one hundred percent fine with that. Boils, shrimp and grits, baked oysters, black-eyed peas? Yup. It's enough to make us forget that South Carolina has also given us Strom Thurmond, Myrtle Beach, and modern day racism.
We're getting this thing started tonight at Revolution Brewing's Lowcountry Beer Dinner and Shrimp Boil. (Looks like tix are still available.) The menu for this thing looks silly, especially the boil itself: head-on shrimp, house-made andoullie sausage, red skin potatoes, corn, and house-made hot sauce. We expect to get more head tonight than Wilt Chamberlain at Senor Frogs.

Schwartz’s offers some of the best smoked meats on the continent. Can’t wait to get up to Hopleaf to try out their take on it, and get some moules frit while i’m up there.

This brisket is ok – when you’re drinking the DTs in anticipation of the DTs, then yeah, you can grab a holda deez. But if you want ridiculously buttery bbq brisket, Smoque is the place. I’m ashamed since it’s like such a Chipotle stepchild, but step to it child.

d-nice: while also a delicious brisket, smooque’s brisket is a bbq brisket. hopleaf’s is montreal-style, more like pastrami. two different phylums.

I had Montreal-style brisket sandwich as a special at Jerry’s on Division. I thought it was quite good.
