Anson Mills Grits


Anson Mills Grits are the only grits that we use at Soby's . If you have never had them you have missed out. They are the creamiest and most full bodied grits I have ever tasted. Gleen Roberts sold all his possessions and started up Anson Mills in a old warehouse in Columbia in 1998. A few years earlier he had found the old Carolina mill corn in a bootleggers field near Dillion South Carolina. It was a corn used for milling dating back to the late 1600's. Check them out under Soby's links.

Early South Carolina Peaches


Peaches are the one single fruit that can keep me awake at night in early spring. Early spring is a nail biting time for South Carolina peach growers and chef's. Last year over 80-90% of SC peaches where lost due to a late Easter frost. South Carolina peaches are in my opinion the best in the world. Yes I said it . But this year is going to be a great comeback year for these sweet southern jewels. Like pork you will see me write a lot about peaches over the next few months. Here a few from Barnwell South Carolina.

Jeff Isbell's Produce


Jeff Isbell has always been synonymous with heirloom tomatoes. This past year he purchased a good size plot of land in Easley about 15 minutes from Soby's. He is now able to supply
me with spring greens ,carrots, and radish's. Here's some beautiful Easter egg radishes and carrots. Picked this morning and served this evening. As I like to say "thousands of miles fresher"

Tamworth Pigs

Pork getting happy in the smoker!!!!!!!



For the last week I have been on pins and needles with excitment about my Heritage Tamworth Pork coming. It was raised about 30 miles from the restaurant near Pauline SC. I have been working with the Upstate Farmers Allince. It's a sustainable Co-op of local farmers.
