Weekend List: Chanticleer Football, SC Largest Garage Sale + more fall things to do this weekend
September 6, 2024 • Grand Strand Weekend List
Hello, Grand Strand friends!
Welcome to September. It’s time to switch the wardrobe from bright florals to cozy neutrals, even though the weather in South Carolina doesn’t quite match the color palette.
This week, we have a recipe to make, the coffee shop to try, your new favorite pizza spot if you haven’t already discovered it, CCU football home game, and South Carolina’s largest garage sale.
Have the best weekend, ya’ll! Cheers 🥂
Side Sizzle
What: Hot Honey Skillet Brussels Sprouts (click to save for later!)
Why: You’re looking for an easy + tasty fall side dish and you love a little spice.
Excuse to Buy: the Smithey No. 12 cast iron skillet. Made in Charleston, Smithey makes beautiful pieces that make cooking stylish and fun.
How to make: Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat, add cut up Brussels sprouts, season with s&p, add some red pepper flakes. Cook until charred. Drizzle and mix with hot honey or Momofuku chili crunch hot honey.
Serve with: Riesling pairs well with spicy foods. Trefethen Riesling is one of the best. A marinated grilled pork tenderloin and a simple salad round this out for an easy dinner!
Coffee Date
Where: Beach Hippie Coffee
Why: You’re looking for a local coffee shop with excellent caffeinated options + baked treats.
Go: 📍Beach Hippie Coffee, 5311 North Kings Highway Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29577 (note there are 3 Beach Hippie storefronts…)
In Crust We Trust
Why: Trust us. This place is a hidden gem and popular for a reason.
Order: Pizza, obviously. But everything else is surprisingly incredible, like the buffalo chicken on a salad!
Go: 📍Chris’s Pizza, 170 Surfrider Blvd Unit C, Longs, SC 29568
European Vacation
Go: Oxford, England 🇬🇧
Why: You want a unique European adventure that includes Big Ben, Parliament, Big Ben, Parliament… but don’t want to stay in London.
Watch: Why Oxford Is the Perfect Home Base for Exploring England: London, Bath, Stonehenge & More!, a vlog about our 2 weeks in Oxford and exploring England.
Personal note: I love taking photos and videos and this is my first attempt at “vlogging” and had a blast with my son on this trip documenting our adventure. We had fun making it, and I may have spent way too much time editing it - hope you enjoy!
