Here’s the Weekend List, inside edition, because it is CHILLY outside! We are trying something new this week and making it a video! and a podcast? (I’m still trying to figure out Substack!) Thanks for subscribing, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
1. Brunch Here
Order: the Golden Tumeric Latte + brunch at Lekker Eats
Why: Because you want to get warmed up with a latte with a spicy kick on these chilly winter days. This drink is frothy and cozy, and the tumeric adds a delightful spicy flavor that makes it a stand alone drink or can complement to one of Lekker’s brunch items.

Where: Escapology Myrtle Beach 📍400 N Kings Highway Suite D, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, 29577
Pair Smashburgers + Zinfandel
Pick up: Pre-made sliders from Lowes Foods + bottle of Ridge Zinfandel
Why: Because you’re in the mood for a wine night in, and this is a fun and simple pairing! Zinfandel is a good winter wine and pairs perfectly with the savory smash burger.
5. Have Happy Hour for Dinner
Order: Grilled octopus + crispy pork belly appetizer and a bourbon cocktail
Where: the cozy bar at Aspen Grille
Why: Sometimes, it’s fun to sit at a fancy bar for a cocktail and an appetizer, rather than commit to a full fine dining experience.
