By David Heiser ⋅ October 4, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

In the past, if I was looking for something to eat north of the Crosstown, I thought my options were pretty much limited to Moe’s Crosstown Tavern, grease-bomb style soul food dives, and perhaps a sketchy Chinese restaurant or two. With all due respect to Moe’s (which serves up some of the best bar food [...]

Many of you who read my blog on a regular basis probably got directed here originally by a link in the signature of my posts on Chowhound.com’s “South” message board.

In a first for me, I went down to the George Street Observer office on campus the other day to record a little discussion of my Cinebarre/Traitor review with my section’s editor Brian Wilder (of the DubiousOne blog as well).

Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ – West Ashley Restaurant Review
