Chef's Garden



Here is some photo's from my garden.  Over the years I've had the best luck with tomatoes.  Last year we planted a number of berry bushes. The two raised bed have drip irrigation and on a timer.  I  hope to plant a small fruit tree orchard this fall.

St. Louis Style Ribs



Ribs dry rubbed with Garwell's TM before going in the smoker. My Sous Chef Bradwell makes this killer blackberry BBQ sauce that goes onto these ribs after being in the smoker for 14 hours. They come out with a awesome smoke line, and just fall off the bones.

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"

Carl's Chunk of Chooclate Cake


Carl has been asking Teryi the Pastry Chef for a giant slab of chocolate cake.  Teryi took it even further, she paired it with a shot of ice milk and a chocolate straw.
