Development of the Restaurant

Here are a few quick pictures of what has taken place in that last two weeks.  We have gone from a building site to a quick forming restaurant.  Paint, wall treatments, equipment, all of it is going in.  The floors are being worked on and should be done tomorrow.

Another New Dish, Monkfish

Thanks to the three Dave’s in my life, my father Dave Bolus who supported my decision to attend culinary school (yes my mother also supported me but her name fortunately is not Dave), Dave Blagden who gave me a job at the fishmongers in London, and Dave Szem my fishmonger now i have come up [...]

First Eggplant of The Season

My first eggplant is now growing strong, with many more blooms on the plants. 
The rain we have had lately seems to have sent the plants into overdrive.  What is in store for these beautiful purple vegetables?  Well first is going to have to a the freshest eggplant Parmesan one has ever dreamed of.  Second will [...]

A New Dish for The Menu

Here is a brief encounter of what you will soon find at Red Sky.  This is an apetizer on the new menu and a dish I did for a local T.V. news show called Lowcountry Live.  The first image is of an oven roasted garlic bulb which I pureed for the dish.  The second image [...]

The Ghetto Gourmet

This is a site I just found.  Actually Kelly found it after reading an article about it on the New York Times website.  It has to do with people hosting dinners in random places (i.e. apartments, homes, barns, etc) asking their guest to provide a donation in order to cover the costs of the food.  [...]

Doing The Right Thing

I know this particular post has nothing to do with food but I had to post in anyway simply because it made me feel good about what Kelly and I had done.  Kelly and I had taken the dogs on a walk last night and upon returning to the house we were greated by the [...]

More Eggs

I just wanted to post a picture of the weeks worth of eggs that I have been able to procure.  Kelly and I have tried them now in many various ways.  My last experiment was for dinner last night where I made fresh pasta with duck eggs and T 00 flour (pasta flour).  The taste [...]

Banana Pepper Canning Recipe

I have had several people now ask for the exact recipe for the brine I used to can the banana peppers.  So, of course I have to oblige.  I never want to become one of those chefs who find their recipes to be so sacred they can not share them.  Below is the recipe and [...]

First Edition of Farm Fresh Eggs

I finally bought all three varieties of eggs that I wanted to show.  I have regular variety grocery store eggs, free range eggs that have been chilled since being laid, and free range eggs that have been kept at room temperature since being laid. 
 I want to quickly discuss the term “free range”.  This term is [...]

Duck Eggs

I stopped back at the market today to buy some more fresh chicken eggs.  Much to my disappointment they were all sold out.  One of the guys behind the counter was kind enough to go check the nests to see if any new ones had been layed since they last looked.  Again, nothing.  Not to [...]
