Mixed seafood, tomato, red onion, cucumber, citrus, cilantro, spices. $9
Tabbuli, Charleston SC
This was decent. The seafood quality wasn’t the best, but it had good a flavor and was very colorful. The random fried pita chip was a little odd.
Any two tacos and a side $8.99
General Homeboy (on right): panko breaded shrimp with a sweet Thai chili sauce, shredded cabbage, sliced radish, green onion and cilantro, served spicy. Side of Mexican street corn.
Taco Mamacita, Sullivan’s Island SC
Blackened Mahi (on left): grilled blackened mahi mahi with jalapeno corn slaw, grilled pineapple, cilantro, diced tomatoes and baja sauce.
After eating many tacos from The Mission (SF), I will say that these weren’t authentic at all (which is fine). They were, however, on the small side and lacked bold flavors considering the ingredients used. I’m used to tacos that are overflowing with meats and toppings, and while these tacos tasted OK, I’ll have to say that the flavors at The Taco Spot were better. On a more positive note, the Mexican street corn was delicious!
Mmm, mimosa time! Mimosas always indicate weekend brunch to me, and I’ll never turn one down. Here’s to the weekend! Two for $5 with brunch entree
Crave, Mount Pleasant SC
15-star “Star Spangled Banner” American flag, Fort Moultrie. They changed the flag from 13 to 15 stars with the addition of Vermont and Kentucky to the Union.
Svedka citron vodka, chambord, strawberry puree, prosecco. $9
Basil Thai Restaurant, Charleston SC
Ugh, this cocktail was way too sour. I thought the chambord and strawberry puree would mellow it out a little, but that wasn’t the case. I like the idea of the cocktail, but I don’t think it was executed properly. It looked beautiful though!
Cannon, Fort Moultrie. I really enjoyed walking the grounds of Fort Moultrie and seeing the large, heavy cannons and learning how the fort has been used through history.
…Jeanette at J-Gamble Food Blog! Her submission of an apricot tart with blueberry creme fraiche ice cream from The Slanted Door looks absolutely scrumptious!
“Explosion of flavors with a delicate balance of sweet from the peaches and blueberry and savory in the pie crust. The ingredients are carefully selected locally giving vibrant/fresh flavor. The blueberry ice-cream was light and fluffy.” – Jeanette
She’ll receive a box filled with some of my favorite San Francisco treats! Thanks to everyone who participated, and keep a lookout for the next installment of The Great San Francisco Goodies Giveway!
