Harbourside Restaurant in Sea Pines is remodeled and ready for business.

Flooding from Tropical Storm Irma forced Harbourside Burgers and Brews to close for renovations, giving Sea Pines Resort the chance to rethink the restaurant’s entire concept. The newly reimagined Harbourside Restaurant has a new name, an expanded kitchen and lower prices on the menu.

After 11 years, Your Mom’s Kitchen Bloody Mary Mix is rebranding itself with a new name, partnership and label redesign.

There are plenty of heroes in the Lowcountry, and Local Pie hopes to identify and honor them. On the first day of every month, the restaurant will accept nominations from customers and locals for their hometown heroes — volunteers, medical personnel, fire/rescue, executive directors of nonprofit groups or other people who have gone above and beyond.

Best Things in South Carolina has named Hilton Head Island's Java Burrito Company as No. 1 on its list of the best margaritas in the state. "This Mexican restaurant-slashcoffee house might not be the first place you’d think to go for a margarita, but one sip will change your mind for good," Best Things posted on its website, www.bestthingssc.com. The secret appears to be the fresh-squeezed lime juice. 

Hudson’s Seafood House On the Docks is planning a special menu to celebrate soft shell crab season, including seven new dishes like a soft shell crab po’boy and Buster Crab Béarnaise.

The Dinner Party

CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF HERITAGE WITH CLASSIC APPETIZERS

It seems 1969 was a big year for both golf and gourmet. It was the first year of the tournament that would become the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing. And it was the year “The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr” first hit TV airwaves and the 11th edition of the “Betty Crocker Cookbook” was released. Home cooks were serving up pigs in blankets, cheese puffs, oysters Rockefeller, Lipton onion dip and nut-ecrusted cheese logs. Other retro dishes still are popular, like fondue, and shrimp cocktail featuring local shrimp is always a hit.
