Saint Patrick's Day in Savannah (Part 1)

For those who don't already know, St. Patrick's Day is huge in Savannah! Over 400,000 visitors flood the streets of Savannah to eat, drink (sometimes too much) and be merry! Well I braved the crowds this year to get all the pictures of everything you missed.

These folks had their Shillelaghs ready!

That's all for now, I've got plenty of pictures to sift through so keep checking back!

Girl Scout season has begun!

For those who don't already know, Savannah is definitely the Girl Scout capital of the world! The founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low, was born and raised in Savannah. In fact, the first Girl Scout meeting ever was held on March 12, 1912 right here in Savannah! Well now whenever the air changes from cool to warm the Scouts start to show up in droves.

This brings me to the topic, Savannah Cooks! first girl scout cooking class of the year! The Troop made their way down from Smithfield NC and made us a priority stop. Plus, I'm sure the Scout leaders liked that they could knock out both a meal and an activity at the same time. They chose our delicious Cooking Woks! (Chinese) menu. With temping treats from the far east it was hard to sit in the office once that smell started to fill the air. So I didn't, I took some pictures!


Chef Bryan Beacham teaches the Scouts an egg roll wrapping technique.


Yum, Chinese Almond Cookies!


Owner Nicki Curreri shares her expertise with the Girls.


Finally, time to eat!

Lucky for me they had some leftovers!

The Gentlemen of Kitchens on the Square

Hey everybody! I just wanted to take a minute to introduce a few of my favorite guys (with the exception of my boys): Brendan, Bryan, and Derek, the men of Kitchens on the Square.

First up we have Brendan, our eCommerce Manager. Brendan is always around to provide exceptional customer service to our customers that decide to visit our store online or by phone. Did you know that we have approximately 3500 different items in our store? Well, Brendan does and he can tell you about every single one of them.

Brendan

Next up is Bryan, our resident Chef. Bryan is always sure to entertain with his quick wits and culinary expertise. Whether it’s teaching one of our many cooking classes, or doing demos throughout the day he tries to spend as much time in the kitchen as possible. When he’s not in the kitchen you can find him floating around the sales floor helping customers find the items they need to create their own fabulous gourmet meals at home.

Bryan

And last but certainly not least is Derek, our Sales Lead. You’ll always find this cheerful chap ready to assist you with all of your kitchen needs. Having lived in Savannah for the past four years, he is always quick to let you know where the locals like to eat.

You'll remember the old pic
Plus I think my panorama Photoshop skills have grown since last time. ;)

The smell of the crab cakes always makes me wander from the back office to see if he has any extra for me (he never does, so sad).
