Wanna enjoy some Lowcountry eats while helping a good cause?
Sea Islands Cooking, a cookbook of (what else but) sea island recipes, was recently published. The cookbook contains recipes from folks from Seabrook, Kiawah, Johns, and Wadmalaw Islands.
Sea Islands Cooking would make a great gift (*hint* Valentine's Day is quickly approaching!) for friends and family who haven't yet experienced the Lowcountry.
Oh, heck, just go ahead and buy it for yourself:) It is for a good cause after all. All proceeds from the sale of the cookbook go to the local schools: St. John’s High School, Haut Gap Middle School, Angel Oak Elementary School, Mt Zion Elementary School, and Edith Frierson Elementary School.
Eat up!

Lucy's [Red Sky] Grill
**2016 Update--Lucy's is closed**
Y'all know I'm always talking about Lucy's Grill on Seabrook Island. Remember Lucy's is the restaurant that has Jazz Sundays-live music on Sunday nights?
Well, I found a website which publishes the upcoming events at Lucy's. Head on over to SavannahNow. Scroll down to the bottom right corner. Yep, that's it-"Upcoming Events."
Cotton Blue plays on February 19; Shrimp City Slim on February 26; and don't miss the ever popular Ann Caldwell in March!

New Restaurant-Mama Q's
**2016 Update--Mama Q's is closed**
Another "new to me" restaurant--Mama Q's Kitchen on John's Island
When I first glanced over Mama Q's menu, I thought "uh-oh." There are burgers, BBQ, sandwiches, hot dogs, wings, AND tacos. What a combo!
After doing a little research, I discovered "Mama" is Kim Quintero of Mexican heritage, raised in Arkansas, and skilled in Memphis-style BBQ. Ah-ha! Knowing Mama's background explains the menu.
Hmmm, I think I'll have some chicken soft tacos, some "crazy hot wings", and a side of fried pickles. Thank you.
Or maybe, it'll be a big Mexi-burger and some sloppy fries?
Check out City Paper's write up of Mama Q's and reviews on Urban Spoon.

It's Oyster Season, Y'all!
And Garden&Gun has an entire section dedicated to oysters.
The magazine lets you in on the best oyster bars in the South; how to cook the best fried oysters; and gives you a primer in "shucking oysters"(otherwise known as how to get into that shell for the deliciousness of the oyster).
Oh, I hear some of you. "Blech! Oysters! I'd never eat those!" Well, Garden&Gun has even put together a little something for the first-time oyster eaters.
Enjoy! My mouth is watering for some fresh roasted oysters!
