The truth is out OR Things just don’t taste the same outside the restaurant
I recently received my first piece of “fan mail” for my monthly diatribe in the Fairview Town Crier. I was gratified because I really don’t think of myself as any kind of writer. We have people in our community that are writers and I have neither the education nor the talent to consider myself one of them. It was, however a stroke to the old ego. “Dear Chef Joe Scully;

Several months ago, my wife and daughter started a contest. Lauren, my 11 year-old, wants Arnold Schwarzenegger to come to our restaurant – she loves the Terminator (but has no idea about the Governator).

Charleston Tea Plantation – America’s only tea garden – who knew?
When I met Amy, beer was my beverage of choice. While she was prone to have a beer from time to time, she really had a taste for hot tea. I learned to like the taste of Constant Comment and assorted black teas over the years we have been married.
