Queen Anne's Revenge Embraces More than Pirate Historynew

If you haven't been to Queen Anne's Revenge recently you've missed some significant changes. Yes, it's still a pirate-themed restaurant named after one of Blackbeard's ships, and the dining area remain largely unchanged with rough-hewn tables hanging by chains from the ceiling and swords and other pirate relics lining the entryway. The bar area, however, has been totally revamped, a new large outdoor deck added, and, most importantly, the menu has been significantly overhauled.

Out-of-the-Ordinary Sandwiches and Pizza at Folly's 'Wich Doctornew

First of all, The 'Wich Doctor is more than just an ordinary sandwich shop. Let's get that out of the way first, because while the name contains half of the word "sandwich," this place has a whole lot more to offer than a cold-cut trio or a tuna salad on wheat with provolone.

FIG chef Mike Lata is not known for being a political firebrand. He’s known for his James Beard Award-winning approach to Lowcountry cuisine and the locavore ethic. But when U.S. Rep. Tim Scott staged a press conference about fishing at a dock on Shem Creek Tuesday, Lata stopped by to offer his two cents.
