Foda Foodies

This blog is for the (foda) foodies out there.

Last evening we went to Beaufort, South Carolina for dinner at Gilligan's.  It was a very nice little seafood restaurant out on the swamp.  A family of raccoon was playing in the trees right in front of us. Guess they're the greeters.

We tried fried green tomatoes and fried pork skins that were really good.  And the hush puppies were so good they'd "Make you wanna slap yo mama!" per the young woman at the desk in the hotel. She was right.  Look out mama!  The shrimp was also delicious, caught locally and fresh.

Tonight we are in Savannah, Georgia.  We found a restaurant called Sisters of the New South specializing in real southern cooking and meals.  We made a reservation and took off to find the place.  When we got there we were a little surprised.  It was like a "fast food joint" where you ordered cafeteria style.  but the food was great.  Think McDonald's does meatloaf, fried chicken, and liver and onions.  Would you like okra with your meatloaf?  How about some key lime cake?  We chose red and white velvet cake.  Saving it for later.

Tomorrow we are going to do a trolley tour of Savannah and maybe even have a bite to eat at Paula Deen's place.  We're searching for peach pie or pecan pie.  I'm pretty sure we'll find it somewhere here.

More tomorrow.
