Sean Brock is a well-known Southern and Appalachian chef who focuses on preserving southern foodways and heirloom ingredients.

He has been the chef behind the restaurant Husk, which has "been at the forefront of defining Southern cuisine, celebrating the flavors, traditions, and communities that embody the American South" according to the website.



I have been to the Nashville and Charleston locations, and now, the Savannah location.

"At Husk Savannah, we embrace the vibrant flavors and heirloom ingredients of coastal Georgia in the heart of Savannah’s Landmark Historic District. Sourcing directly from local farmers and the surrounding waterways, our menu pushes the boundaries of the Lowcountry’s rich culinary traditions," reads the website.

"Stepping into Husk Savannah, you will be welcomed by a bright and inviting space that blends modernity with the historic charm of the 1890s building. With an ever-changing menu and commitment to supporting local suppliers, our diverse menu celebrates the region’s bounty at every turn. With an extensive raw bar and seafood program showcasing an array of regional oysters spanning the East Coast, we showcase the most exceptional ingredients at their finest."



I started with a pimiento cheese tartine with HUSK pickles, watermelon radish and arugula. This was a fun and fresh bite. I liked the crunch from the pickles and the creaminess from the cheese. It was a nice blend of both flavors and textures.



For my entrée, I went with Heritage Pork: confit leeks, mojo dragon tongue beans and black garlic. I don't usually order pork, but it was done well and retained moisture well. I liked the boldness of the leeks and garlic to give this dish a punch.

I recently had a layover in Iceland while traveling overseas. While I would have liked to have spent much more time in Iceland, I only had a quick visit to the airport. But I was determined to make the most of my time.



There wasn't much open at the hour I visited, but I did head to the Nordic Deli. The deli had a few sandwiches, meat & cheese snacks and drinks.



I had some honey, mustard and onion, pretzels, as well as a small snack of cheese and fruit. Honestly, it is super simple. But I appreciate the grab & go concept and the freshness. That gave me more time to check out the rest of the art and shops.



Have you been to Iceland? What are the foods you must try?

Lulu's Chocolate Bar is a dessert restaurant that also serves specialty drinks.



Cakes, cheesecakes, pies, creme brulee, ice cream and brownies are just some of the options on the dessert side of the menu.



Beer, wine, martinis, cocktails, coffee, tea and soft drinks grace the drink side of the menu.



I settled on a slice of praline pecan pie, which has bourbon-infused praline pecan pie on a buttery shortbread crust. It's rich and buttery and crunchy - what more could I ask for?

The Olde Pink House, located at 23 Abercorn Street in Savannah, Georgia's Historic District, serves classic Southern cuisine in an elegant mansion built in 1771.



The restaurant has a southern elegance and grandiose vibe that you can only get in Savannah. My first bite was the complimentary homemade biscuits with honey butter, which were lovely.



I ordered the sauteed local shrimp with country ham gravy and cheddar cheese grits. It was certainly different from other versions of shrimp and grits that I've had. The grits were more like a grit cake, and the gravy was thick and peppery.



I also tried pan-seared jumbo lump crab cake and fried green tomatoes with remoulade sauce. this pairing is two of my favorite things. Each were prepared perfectly and the remoulade added a nice zing.



Delicious southern food elevated in a gorgeous atmosphere.
