What kinda, I tell you what, you never cease to amaze me, man, you got a rack of ribs here…
Yep.
[Bob] What do we got goin’ on?
Well, what we’re gonna do today is, we smoke uh, meats on the weekends at the market, we have a big smoker there, I love doing smoking. I’ve been doing it for 25 years. What we’re gonna do today is, I’m gonna do a boneless rib sandwich.
Oh, wow.
Okay? And what we’re gonna do is just start that off, let’s get our, I’m gonna make a sauce for it too, I’m gonna make a syrup and bacon and bourbon sauce to put on top of it, the sandwich.
Oh, wow, sounds great.
But we’re going to take some sliced up bacon,
[Bob] Okay.
throw that in there… Get that rolling.
[Bob] Now you’re using pecan oil or just regular olive oil?
[Ed] I’m using pecan oil, high heat and I love the flavor, the nutty flavor of it, obviously use whatever you need, cause some people have those allergies.
[Bob] I gotcha.
[Ed] Let that get going, we’re also gonna throw in some diced up onions in there, we’re gonna let that reduce down and want that to uh, render all the fats, so that’s going to take a little time. In the meantime, we’re gonna work on our, getting our rib ready and I’m gonna show ya how we’re gonna do that. We’re going to take your rib, look at that beautiful rib,
Oh my goodness.
all that meat on there, all that marbling in there, very tender already.
[Bob] Yeah.
[Ed] What you wanna do is you wanna take this silver skin off. Easiest way to do that is to grab yourself a towel, cut yourself the end, grab ahold of it, and tear it off.
[Bob] Oh, wow, okay.
[Ed] Just like that.
[Bob] Wow, look at that.
[Ed] Okay? That’s that chewy part that everybody has on the rib, you don’t wanna have that on there.
[Bob] Gotcha.
[Ed] Okay? So after that we’re gonna do is rub it, any type of barbeque rub… This is stuff we make here at the market here and its got brown sugar, its got some chili powder, its got, I put a little Old Spice in mine,
Okay.
I like that.
A little bit of orange, dried orange peel, it’s a really nice for pork and chicken. All right, so now that you can see how the fat rendered out, and see how crispy that bacon is,
Yeah, yeah.
And translucent that is, now we’re gonna finish off the sauce.
[Bob] Okay.
[Ed] K? What we’re gonna do is take a little bit of smoked chipotle chilis, put them in there.
[Bob] Right, mmm.
[Ed] Okay, I’m gonna put a little bit of balsamic vinegar, give it that acidic flavor. You can use maple syrup, I’m using black walnut syrup that we sell at the market.
Oh, at the market.
Again, I like that nutty flavor.
[Bob] Oh yeah, yeah.
Um, some people don’t like it but I love that nutty flavor. Okay, mix that around a little bit, and you can let this cook for ya know, about five minutes or so.
[Bob] Okay.
What you’re gonna do is, you’re gonna take your favorite whiskey or bourbon, you gotta put that in the sauce.
[Bob] There ya go.
Okay?
So that’s that, put that there. Okay, now from here you’re gonna let her cook for another about ten minutes or so to you know, to render down and reduce a little bit, and that’ll be your finished sauce, on top a your ribs. Put that up there like that.
[Bob] Whew!
[Ed] Mm, look how nice that looks.
[Bob] Oh, my goodness, fresh bread…
[Ed] Yep, you do this for a party like this, this long thing.
[Bob] Yeah, fresh ribs…
[Ed] Absolutely. Now we’re gonna take the sauce…
[Bob] I’ll get this out the way for ya.
We’re gonna take this sauce, we’re gonna put this on top. All those flavors…
[Bob] Oh, my goodness.
[Ed] K? Yeah, some people put barbeque sauce on top a the ribs, I’m not a lover of that, I like to do it with, I like to taste meat.
[Bob] Mmm-hmm
[Ed] I love tasting that meat. So that’s what we’re gonna do there and now I’m gonna finish it off with a little bit of parsley, okay?
[Bob] Wow, wow, wow, wow Goodness.
All right and now we’re ready to plate it.
Whew, wow! Let’s set that right there. That is wonderful.
Look at that, that’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Yeah.
So now what we’re gonna do, is we’re gonna, we make all our salads at the market.
Okay.
Okay. So we’re gonna get a little potato salad cause you gotta have potato salad at a barbecue, when you havin’ ribs. We’re gonna do a little bit of our macaroni salad.
[Bob] Mmm

Welcome to Chive Blossom Café on The Sportsman’s Table this week, and joining me is my guest chef Andreann Geise with My Big Fat Greek Kitchen here in Myrtle Beach, and she’s got a great recipe for us. It’s got some fresh green tomatoes, certified SC-grown. Okay, Andreann. Well, I tell you what. I’m gonna let you tell everybody what you’re building here, okay? Because I love green tomatoes.
I’m baking a Greek dish called moussaka and I’m substituting the eggplant with green tomatoes. They’re a wonderful substitution for it, and they’re fresh, local tomatoes.
Oh, that’s great. Well, what’s the first step?
So, the first step in the dish is you’re gonna cook off some potatoes, and you’re gonna put them in a pan. They’re layered into a pan, and they’re just fork-tender.
[Bob] You want me to help you here a little bit?
Yeah, I’m gonna lay this over here. The green tomatoes were lightly floured and salted and sautéed up, and they’re just gonna be layered right on top of that.
Oh wow.
So you’re basically just squeezing in there. The flour that I coated them with helps it make a nice sauce and thicken up while it cooks.
[Bob] And folks, if you want a copy of her recipe, just log onto bobredfern.com. Go to The Sportsman’s Table and it’ll be right there.
The next layer is gonna be meat sauce, and let me put this to the side. I browned some ground beef. You could do pork, you could do whatever, deer meat, if you want to. I browned it off, putting it back in a hot pan with a little bit of olive oil. Oops!
[Bob] There we go.
[Andreann] It’s decided to jump on me. There we go. Told you, everything’s so fresh, it’s alive here.
[Bob] Yeah, man, I’m helping you. I’m trying to get my certified flipping. Okay, there we go.
[Andreann] I’ve also sautéed some onions with a little bit of garlic, salt, and pepper.
[Bob] Am I shaking it right?
You’re shaking it right.
Okay.
I’m gonna mix that up a little bit. And now this is my own spice blend that I’m putting in there.
Okay.
It will be listed on your website, so I’m gonna give away my secrets.
Yeah, there you go.
And I like to make my own tomato sauce and I jar it, but you can buy whatever garden tomato sauce you like or your favorite tomato sauce, and that gets poured in.
[Bob] Wow.
Once the sauce has simmered a little bit and the flavors melded together, you pour the sauce on top, and you want a nice thick layer. The potatoes on the bottom are gonna drink a lot of this sauce. So you just pour it on there, get it pretty even. It doesn’t have to be exact.
[Bob] Oh yeah.
And we’re gonna press it down a little bit. We want it nice and flat because we have the last layer going on, which is a Béchamel sauce, but I wanted to add a little South to it, so I added some stone-ground grits to my Béchamel.
Oh, wow. Now, how long is this gonna have to cook for?
It’s gonna cook at 375 for about 35 to 40 minutes until you get a nice brown topping. Let me lay this over to the side here. And in this pan, I’ve got… Thank you.
I’m helping.
I appreciate it.
I’m your sous chef today, how ’bout that?
Well, you’re a wonderful sous chef.
Thank you.
So, I’ve got the Béchamel cooking. As you can see, it’s… It’s kind of like a real–
Really thick.
Yeah, it’s thin for grits but thick for a Béchamel, but it’s gonna bake and it’s gonna fluff up. Okay, so we pour that on top. And it’s not gonna puff too much, so you want it pretty much almost to the top of the pan, but not quite, and you just kinda spread it even.
[Bob] Okay, that’s easy.
Yeah, it’s a quick dish, and it’s all in one. You pretty much have everything you need in one dish. You got grits. You got potatoes, You got a nice meat sauce.
You do, here, let me help you with that.
Okay, put that to the side. So, this’ll go in the oven.
Okay.
And we’ll put that in the oven and when it’s done, it’ll look like this.
[Bob] That is awesome. Look at that, mm. Got a little bit of salad on top there.
Yes, I do a little fresh salad. It’s got parsley, tomato, onions, a little bit of cucumber, and it gives it a little bit of color. It’s a little brightness to the dish.
There you go. Thank you so much for being our guest chef today.
I appreciate it.

Welcome, this week, folks, we are in beautiful Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Wicked Tuna restaurant, right here along the coast, is this wonderful place, and joining me is the executive chef here. This guy and his staff produce some of the finest meals. Well, listen, you just gotta come visit The Wicked Tuna when you’re here down in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, but my executive chef today, and my guest, is Patrick Fowler here at Wicked Tuna. And what have you got for us today, okay? You guys are all about fish, man.
All about fish.
I don’t know anybody that does fish better than you guys.
We’ve probably, we claim to fame is hook to plate.
There you go.
We catch it, and literally about four, five hours later, it’s touching the plate, ready to go.
Oh, man, Patrick. What have you got for me today?
Today, we’re gonna cook some red snapper. This was caught right off the coast.
Okay.
By one of our boats. And we’ll cook it up, put it over our local grits, and let’s get started.
Alright, man. Oh, gotta have oil, he’s gotta have a little, he’s gotta slip and slide through that pan.
I am a firm believer if you’re cooking fish, it needs to be in olive oil.
There you go. Now you know, and again, I say this all the time, but folks listen, these chefs will tell you, when you’re cooking meat at home, whether it’s chicken, it’s steak, it’s fish, whatever, don’t overcook the meat, okay? A lot of folks, they do that, that’s the first thing. They just cook it to death.
Yes. We do a trick, we just lightly coat it in flour.
[Bob] Right.
[Patrick] And what that does, that keeps all the moisture in, so you get a nice juicy fish when it’s done.
[Bob] There you go, okay.
[Patrick] So I’m gonna get some, little bit of salt pepper on there. Get that rolling. We’ll go ahead and start plating. These grits are already prepared.
Yeah, I’ll get this pan out of the way here. Oh, wow, nice yellow grits.
[Patrick] Nice yellow grits.
Alright, Patrick, we about ready?
Yes, sir, alright. Now we’re gonna season with a little bit of blackening.
Oh, yeah.
It’ll make it just nice, beautiful, goes really well.
[Bob] That is an awesome looking filet.
[Patrick] Let me put some butter on top, get that nice and wet. Get that nice and juicy.
[Bob] Now, you guys prepare this, this is an entree right off the menu, right?
[Patrick] Yes, sir, this is our blackened catch.
[Bob] Okay.
[Patrick] It’s one of our popular ones. People love it. It’s like a taste of breakfast at dinner.
[Bob] There you go.
[Patrick] So we’re gonna take it, and then we’re just gonna put that right on top like that.
[Bob] Oh, yeah. You know, the eye of the beholder, it’s just great, ’cause you guys take a lot of pain to make sure it looks good.
Yes, sir.
Not only does it taste good, but it looks good.
Now we’re gonna add, this is a marvelous sauce, it’s almost like a raspberry reduction, and this just goes well with any protein that’s blackened. It’s just absolutely delicious.

Well, folks, this week we’re at the International Culinary Institute here in Myrtle Beach. And joining me is a former graduate, and he’s now the proud owner of The Warehouse restaurant in Conway, listen I’ll tell ya what, executive chef Eston McDowell. Eston, thanks, man.
Appreciate you havin’ me on.
Well, listen, it’s always great to have former students, and now see folks do good. You got some tuna for us this week.
I do.
Whatta you got?
We’re gonna do a taste of summer salad, and it’s kinda becoming one of our staples over at The Warehouse. And what it is, because it’s summertime, we like to do fresh produce–
Yeah, yeah.
And it’s been a lot of fun so far, a lotta people are comin’ and eatin’ it up. What we’re gonna do is, we’re gonna do a cucumber, tomato, and Clemson Blue Cheese. And what we do is, we do a spicy pickle brine slaw, that’s a red wine pickle brine.
Awesome.
So we’re gonna do that slaw over top of it, and then sear the tuna and put it over top of it.
All right, man, well let’s get started, I can’t wait.
So what we’re gonna do here …
Lay ‘er down, yeah, there ya go. And folks, if you want a copy of Eston’s recipe, just log on to BobRedfern.com, click on The Sportsman’s Table, it’ll be right there.
I like to hit it with a little bit of blackening, just to give it that little extra oomph.
Yeah, okay.
We’ve got some fresh local tomatoes from here.
Always certified S-C.
And what we’re gonna do is just hit that nicely with some cheese.
Mmm, and that’s blue cheese, right?
Yes, this is a Clemson Blue Cheese.
Clemson Blue Cheese, hmmm.
Then what we’re gonna do now is take a little bit of this slaw, and just layer it over the top.
Oh, man, that’s awesome, great colors, too. Y’know, I know it’s about presentation.
It is about presentation, but I think it’s more about that taste. I like that crisp crunch into it, it’s so good.
I mean, when the waiter brings it out, aahh, it’s that ah-ha moment, okay! Then what we’re gonna do real quick is just sear this.
Now, minute, two each side?
I like to, actually, we like to serve it mid-rare at The Warehouse, so what we do, we do about 35 to 45 seconds on each side, give it a real good, let that blackening sauce get just really good and seared on it.
Okay. And folks, also, the blackening sauce that he’s referring to is, of course, the rub, as we all know, on the fish, and he’ll have that on the recipe as well. Ooh yeah, look at that, ooh! And it doesn’t take long.
No, it’s a very very quick, very quick cook time. We do encourage you, if you do follow the recipe, and cook the pickle brine at your house, we do encourage you to let it pickle overnight, and serve it the next day, just to get all that flavor in there.
That’s awesome. This is a quick dish, man, no wonder folks like it at the restaurant.
That’s right, it does, it comes out very very quick. What we’re gonna do, is we’re just gonna cut this real quick.
Okay. Oh, okay.
What we’re gonna do is just cut this into strips real quick.
Aah, I got ya, awesome, look at that beautiful tuna. Ooh-ooh, now who’da thunk it? Look at that, ahh, man, mm-mm-mmm. All right, Eston, man, we’re ready to plate.
Yeah, and what we do here, and like I said, we really encourage you to kinda get that mid-rare.
Oh, I got ya, yeah.
But, what we’re gonna do is just lay it over top of the salad here.
Mmm, great, mm-mmm.
And what we like to do is this brine has a really really good flavor, so what we like to finish it off with is kind of use this as the dressing of the salad itself, and just hit that spicy brine over top of it.
Now is this mostly eaten as an entree, or before dinner?
You know, it’s kind of funny, we do a lot of both. We have a lot of customers that really enjoy it as an appetizer, and a lot of the ladies that are comin’ into The Warehouse are really startin’ to enjoy it as entrees, y’know?
And it’s fresh.
It is, it’s a fresh as it gets. And it’s so much fun to cook.
Well, The Warehouse, congratulations, in Conway, Eston. And listen folks, if you want more great food like this, on your visit to Myrtle Beach, log on to certifiedscgrown.com, and see what’s fresh on the menu for yourself. We’ll be right back here again next week, with another great recipe on The Sportsman’s Table.

Welcome folks for another Sportsman’s Table edition here. We are in beautiful Murrells Inlet, South Carolina at Wicked Tuna Restaurant and I tell ya what, Ed Dombrowski, he is the owner of Lee’s Farm here at beautiful Murrells Inlet. You’ve seen Ed on the show before. Hey, Drunkin’ Shrimp, you’ve gotta remember.
Yeah, that’s right.
We love havin’ Ed come back and here, we’re on location at Wicked Tuna. Ed..
Great to see you again Bob.
Man, it’s good to see you.
Thanks for having me again.
Oh you’re welcome. What do you got for us today?
Today we’re gonna do a little shrimp dish, Shrimp Scampi, but I’m gonna do a little bit more Mediterranean style. Typically, when you think Shrimp Scampi, it’s more like Italian. Here I’m gonna make it more Mediterranean Greek. We’re gonna add little bit of feta cheese. We’re gonna use zucchini, things like that.
Oh wow, okay.
Alright, so what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna get some oil and butter in the pan.
There you go.
Gotta get that sizzle goin’.
Ah, butter.
Oh, yeah. Gotta put the butter in.
And, you know, the great thing too about these farms, you guys, it’s all about local South Carolina.
Everything local.
Excellent. The butter, everything.
Shrimp is local. A lot of the produce that you see here we actually grow right at the market.
Exactly
So Well we got this goin’ here, I’m gonna throw some shallots. Gotta love those shallots
Gotta have shallots.
Gotta have shallots. Gotta have the garlic. Okay, I made these more like a sliver opposed to a mince. So they’ll get almost like little chips so they have a little texture to them.
[Bob] Well then your breath would be…
[Ed] Exactly, yeah exactly. Alright, I’m gonna throw a little bit oregano and thyme in it, which is, again that Mediterranean flavor.
[Bob] Gosh, you just smell the flavor.
Exactly. Now we’re gonna throw our shrimp in.
Okay now, lot of folks will argue how long to cook the shrimp, okay.
Very quick. Couple minutes, that’s all we wanna do. Is we wanna get ’em just pink.
[Bob] Now from sight, is just where they start to turn red.
[Ed] When they turn red, that’s what we wanna do.
[Bob] Okay.
Now instead of using pasta, ’cause a lot of people use pasta for scampis, I’m using zucchini and I spiraled it. Okay, so everything’s nice and fresh.
[Bob] Ahh, okay.
[Ed] Okay, so we’ll add that in there.
[Bob] Oh, neat.
[Ed] Okay.
[Bob] Now that’s a first.
[Ed] Yup. You know, a lot of people went to whole gluten free and stuff like that.
[Bob] Yeah.
[Ed] So we do that and again you’ll notice it’s all fresh South Carolina grown. Mix that around a little bit.
[Bob] Now how long to you usually cook the zucchini.
Again, just like shrimp, real quick. Just ’cause it’s real nice and thin.
So it’s still gonna be crunchy.
Exactly.
Okay.
I’m gonna throw a little bit more butter in there.
Okay.
Okay, now I’m gonna throw a little bit, crumble a little bit of feta cheese in there.
Wow.
Okay. A little bit of lemon zest.
Okay.
[Ed] Mix it around.
[Bob] You know, that zucchini looks just like noodles.
[Ed] It does. Alright.
[Bob] And there we go, Scampi. Mm.
Now it’s gonna be ready to plate. So what we’re gonna do here… put that up on there, like that and then we’re gonna finish it off with a little…
Ahh, a little decoration.
Little bit more decoration. Gotta have some color on there. Okay, a little bit of lemon zest. Lemon goes great
[Bob] Oh yeah.
with this. Little bit more feta. Who doesn’t like cheese.
Yeah, there you go.
Okay and then finish her off with a little bit of parsley. And there you have, you have a Mediterranean Shrimp Scampi.
That is just fabulous. Look at there folks, another great recipe this week from Ed Dombrowski at Lee’s Farm, here at beautiful Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. I tell you what, I’ll let you hold that. I ain’t gonna shake your hand.
