I’m going to let you in on a little secret. On the car ride home after an SCBBQ meal, Heather, Camden, and I usually record our thoughts using the Voice Memos app on my iPhone. That is where all the quotes in our reviews come from. This time, it was a little different. Heather actually […]
Today, I suggested we travel up to Holly Hill to check out yet another “can’t miss” BBQ place that has a great reputation in our area – Sweatman’s BBQ in Holly Hill, SC. Sweatman’s has a longstanding tradition for quality BBQ. There have been some complaints I’ve read online about a change in ownership and […]
Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ on Sullivan’s Island does a great business, but I suspect our last review did them no favors. Frankly, the review was too harsh and probably unfair, not unlike the original Bessinger’s review from 2012. In Bessinger’s BBQ Revisited, I explained that I revised the original of each of these reviews […]
All reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, especially those like ours which are typically one-time experiences. Restaurants, like you and I, have their good and bad moments. Couple that with the fact that each person has his or her own taste preferences, and you can understand why any two reasonable people may […]
Sticky Fingers is a franchise restaurant that had its humble beginnings here in Mt. Pleasant. They opened their doors in 1992 and today they have 16 locations around the Southeast. We had the opportunity to drop in recently, a mere 23 years later. The Wando baseball program sells a Savings Card that includes a keychain “card” […]
We found ourselves in Goose Creek on Saturday for a baseball tournament. Camden made the Wando JV baseball team, and they were playing their first two games of the season at Goose Creek High School for the Rotary Baseball Classic pre-season tournament. As with much of our BBQ tasting, baseball often is at the root […]
Camden and I stopped for a quick meal at True BBQ in West Columbia on the way back from Atlanta, where we dropped Heather off for a flight and caught a Braves game. True BBQ was just off our route home. We were hungry so we made a quick stop, and we’re glad we did…. but not for […]
Camden’s baseball team, SC Elite, a pretty talented 14U travel team out of Mount Pleasant, has played a few tournaments in Walterboro, SC, lately. Twice now, we have had the opportunity to drop in on Dukes BBQ. My first impression of Duke’s was better than my second, but in both cases, this Dukes BBQ is […]
July 27, 2012 Mamma Brown’s is a bit like a long-lost friend returned. For years, Mamma Brown’s sold a BBQ buffet in a building just around the corner from our house. While we didn’t eat there regularly, we did go there for a treat every now and again. Like a lost friend, I remember him […]
July 14, 2012 We decided to stop by Hog Heaven on the way back home from Myrtle Beach, where we had eaten at Little Pigs BBQ earlier in the day. Hog Heaven is an eye-catching establishment right on 17 just outside of Pawley’s on the way to Georgetown. Because we had already had BBQ that […]
