An Easier Way to Grill with the Same Great Flavor

We all know the delicious smokiness and crisp exterior that flavors food on the grill. And summertime, with its warm temperatures and lingering daylight, is the perfect time to head out to the patio and fire up the grill. But let’s face it – sometimes the weather’s just too hot, thunderstorms are rumbling, or you’ve run out of gas or charcoal.

That's where Le Creuset's Square Skillet Grill comes in handy. It has the ease of a fry pan, but delivers all the flavor you’d expect from an outdoor grill. High ridges result in attractive sear marks while allowing excess fat and grease to drain. Plus, did you know the Skillet Grill can be used on outdoor grills? This is especially helpful when cooking small foods like shrimp or asparagus that can fall through the grates. It's the perfect addition to your 4th of July BBQ!

Visit Le Creuset's store at 241 King Street in downtown Charleston for all of your cooking needs.

Excellent Blog Feature on Patat Spot's Famous Falafel

If you still haven't jumped on the falafel train, this is a must-read blog post that takes you on a step-by-step foodie adventure at Patat Spot. 

"Despite the plethora of fine dining, seafood and farm-to-table options, I always make time for a falafel and fries at Patat Spot while I am in Charleston, S.C. This friet and falafel hot spot downtown near the college is structured for a quick and convenient meal. You order at the counter and there are combos that allow you to package a sandwich, fries and a drink for a great deal...

The falafel is the easy choice. Next you must choose from a variety of delicious fry options. My favorites so far have been the latino (sprinkled with lime juice and vinegar hot sauce) and the gribiche (olive oil, caper, pickles, shallots and parsley). Next you get to choose a sauce to go with the fries. Options include homemade ketchup, a mayo of the day and my favorite, the spicy Sriracha that is creamy and blended with mayo. Pepper gravy is also a popular choice..."
