Probably the best place Barb and I tried this year was Graffiti and Funky Blues Shack.  It was tucked a bit back from the main road and between some shops, so it could be easily  missed if you weren’t looking for it.  We walked into the huge bar side first.  It was pretty empty except for the band setting up for later.  There were two separate bars and forty-three kinds of tap beer were offered.  We enjoyed reading the names and hearing the descriptions of many of the brews.  We both tried a chocolate beer.  Yummy, but very filling.

After our good experience in the bar, we were hoping the dining room would meet the high expectations we now had for it.  We were not disappointed.  The artwork was cool – dare I say funky?  Our waiter was friendly and other patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Now to the food.  Barb ordered the cedar planked salmon and said it was the best she’d ever eaten.  I ordered the shrimp and scallop low country.  The bread and oil served with garlic and herbs before the entrée was exceptional. When my meal arrived, I was a little disappointed that it was all served together in a bowl.  I guess that I was expecting the grits to be on the side.  One bite, though, and I was hooked.  The blend of textures and flavors was a party in my mouth.  I’ve thought about that meal on several occasions since returning home.  It’s probably a good thing that I don’t live closer to this establishment or I would be a weekly customer.

True Nosh!
