If you’re a girl/woman/lady/female you have some sort of handbag with you at all times, but do you know the history of the thing that holds all of your most important items? I’ve always been a fan of hearing it like it is from my friends and I try to do them the same “courtesy”…

Not all Southern food is created equal. While I may know just about all there is to know about Lowcountry cuisine, creole food is a whole different story. Of course I enjoy it. Of course I will eat all the cajun food in sight, if possible. Of COURSE I want to boogie to Hank Williams’…

I had such success with my Grown Up Tuna Melt that I decided to try a new variation. This one is a bit less quirky, but the artichokes give it a Mediterranean taste that sets it apart from other tuna salads. I diverged from the recipe a bit by using lemon zest with pepper (vs. lemon…

As we were walking into Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter, Albert and I noticed a beer store next door. We thought nothing of it at the time (after all, there are beer stores all over the city), but when we finished supper, we noticed there were people inside. It was a little late to be…

Labor Day came at me fast this year. I didn’t realize until Monday that we had already reached our four day weekend. I’m not complaining because I could certainly use the time off, but it does make me a bit sad to realize that my summer this year was dreadfully short. A couple weeks ago…

The menu is small at Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter. They’re pretty much telling you “get the fried chicken, dummy!…but in case you’re a vegetarian we got catfish, too.” So that’s what Albert and I did. We both ordered the fried chicken platter (only $11.50), which comes with three pieces of chicken, a biscuit, and…
