Our quest for the Lowcountry's best handmade burgers takes us to Plums... “Anybody who doesn't think that the best hamburger place in the world is in his hometown is a sissy.” - Calvin Trillin, The New Yorker When I was a kid the concept of “fast food” was still barely in its infancy – in fact, it wasn’t even out of the cradle. The Golden Arches had yet to lead the fast food conquest of America (much less the rest of the globe). Towering corporate logos were still years away from gathering in ubiquitous clusters at every interstate exit. The American Hamburger was still something we ordered at hometown diners.

Remember when you first got email? No? Then you’re probably much younger than I. More and more people are these days. But verily I tell you, children, there was a time when email simply didn’t exist… when humans were limited to painfully primitive channels of communication like the telephone, the fax machine, and an ancient priesthood of intrepid message-bearers called the US Postal Service.

When Arnetta Devlin learned she had breast cancer five years ago, she set her mind to make the most of the experience. “There’s no point in wallowing in self-pity,” said the 62-year-old Beaufort Middle School math teacher. “It’s counterproductive. You have to take what’s been given to you and go from there.”

(aka “Hey, You’re Sweating All Over My Saucha”) I get the question all the time – do you really practice yoga in a heated room? The answer is unwaveringly yes, which leads, inevitably, to the question (insert really inquisitive and mildly skeptical voice here), “WHY?”

Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed. – Mary Oliver, It Was Early Summertime is a season like no other. Hot – hotter than ever – it speaks the language of fresh vegetables, ripened fruit, popsicles, and ice cream cones. In Beaufort, we find ourselves turning from Fourth of July fireworks to our annual Water Festival celebration. All are blessings as we cautiously move through months marked in a countdown toward the end of the hurricane season.

Our own Debbi Covington’s gorgeous new cookbook asks the question “why wait to celebrate?” (Story by Mark Shaffer, Food Photography by Paul Nurnberg) Debbi Covington’s Everyday Gourmet column has been reason enough to pick up a copy of this publication for nearly a decade. Trust me, there are file folders and loose-leaf notebooks stuffed with pages of Debbi’s recipes in kitchens all over the Lowcountry and beyond. Anyone who’s ever attended an event she’s catered or even a simple social gathering she’s thrown together knows that Debbi is passionate about her craft and damn good at it.
