Funky Food for Folly Gras
Folly’s Chefs take on New Orlean’s cuisine
Last month Folly Beach hosted Folly Gras; a festival encompassing everything Mardi Gras with a side of Folly funk. There were beads, a parade, a street festival, masquerade masks, and even a food competition. Placing third was Planet Follywood with their Alligator Meatball Sub; in second, Chico Feo with a Cajun Bahn Mi, and in first place for Best Folly Cuisine was the creators of the Muffaletta and Shrimp Skewer, Loggerhead’s Beach Grill.
Lunch is in the Cards
Jack of Cups adds lunch to the menu
It’s no secret that the Jack of Cups culinary cup runneth over, and to accommodate the never-ending desire for curry, Jack of Cups will now be open for lunch on Fridays, Saturday, Sundays, and Mondays, in addition to their regular dinner hours, so now you can get your fix midday, too. Be sure to check on their Facebook page or the specials board for daily specials. A recent daily delight – Black sesame steamed bun over blood orange goat cheese edamame.
You’d Tap That
Loggerhead’s adds 20+ craft beer taps, hosts first beer dinner
On Feb. 24 Loggerhead’s Beach Grill hosted their first beer dinner to show off the newly added craft beer taps, which has a heavy emphasis on local beers. The dinner was a collaboration with Freehouse Brewing, recently named the Most Underrated Brewery in South Carolina by Thrillist, and who’s owner, Arthur Lucas named his grapefruit blonde ale after our beach, where he learned to surf. “Folly Pride” is described on the Freehouse website: “Like the beautiful beaches of the Lowcountry, this easy drinking brew keeps you coming again and again.” Thanks for the shout out! If you haven’t sat at the recently renovated Loggerhead’s bar inside, head on over next time you get a hankering for a cold craft brew. Stay tuned for more beer dinners in the Fall.
