That’s a big deal for Charleston. Unfortunately for me it’s on the same weekend as the Edisto Bluegrass Festival
I’ll be at the BBQ Perspectives event at Bowen’s Saturday. I’ll give a full report on that portion if I don’t lapse into a food coma.

This is going to be a lot of fun. Last night a few of the local chefs did a pot luck for the out of town guys. I served stone crab and pickles. Taking a few of the chefs out tomorrow on the water. Hopefully show them how to land a big red. Its pretty cool to meet so many talented people.

First Reflections on Cook It Raw
Posted on October 24, 2013
Cook It Raw is now just past its midpoint, with its participating crew of 25 chefs from around the world having gathered the necessary ingredients for a 17-course dinner tonight at McCrady?s. They?re now at the restaurant, cooking and ? quite possibly ? fretting: The chefs are spread across two kitchens and a makeshift workspace, doing their best to flush genius from wild herbs they?ve never before encountered and collaborations with colleagues they?ve only just met.
Tonight?s meal is supposed to reflect what the visiting chefs have learned about the lowcountry, and food historian David Shields will be on hand to assess how well they?ve understood their subject. Since it?s a day devoted to taking stock, this morning seemed like an opportune time to share a few initial observations about the event, with which I?ve been embedded since Monday:
- Great chefs aren?t necessarily snobs.
Folks who don?t eat for a living always expect me to scorn everyday food, which is hardly the case. Yet I made the same mistake by assuming participating chefs would be finicky about what they were fed. Impressively, they haven?t fussed about hotel-made fried chicken biscuits or Wild Olive ravioli, neither of which was garnished with foie gras. Of course, it doesn?t hurt that many of the humbler-seeming dishes have been exceptional, including Butcher & Bee?s sesame peanut butter and Hominy Grill?s pies.
- Cook It Raw is one big dinner party.
Maybe the chefs are accepting of everything they?re served because they?re so fixated on tonight?s dinner. Before Cook It Raw started, I wrongly likened the event to a culinary Renaissance Weekend. Turns out it?s really more like an important state dinner, helmed by nervous chefs speaking different languages.
Most of the week has thus far been spent foraging, fishing and figuring out produce orders in advance of
One of the most amazing meals of my life. 16 courses. Left feeling quit comfertable not over stuffed. I am making a faro bbq salad that will be served with pickled shrimp for tomorrow. Just really honored to be a part of such an event. See you tomorrow Tang.

As long as you can still make out the buttons on your phone, huh?

I had a lot of trouble with this until I realized that my phone is a touch screen and has no buttons!
Event was fantastic. I took a few pics with my phone, but kept getting distracted by all the food, craft beer, bourbon, and crazy foodie folks.
Bill Murray and a few other actor-types made appearances. The guys from Mad Men don’t really come across as 1960s ad execs in person.
