The 4th annual Historic Bluffton Arts and Seafood Festival

Hi All,

There are still three days left to enjoy the 4th Annual Historic Bluffton Arts & Seafood Festival, so get out there, have some fun and support the community!

The 4th annual Historic Bluffton Arts and Seafood Festival will be held in the charming and eclectic historic district of Bluffton, well known for its quirky art community and natural river beauty. The festival is a week long event offering a myriad of activities, showcasing the locally harvested seafood, delicious Low Country cuisine, rich history, great art and Southern hospitality found only in Bluffton.

There is truly something for everyone!
The Iron Chef Competition, won last year by Ocean Grille's Executive Chef George Davis, will hopefully be followed-up this year with a victory by Boathouse II Executive Chef Mike Cowan!
Support your favorite local restaurants and come out for the
FUN and DELICIOUS competition
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 11AM TO 12:30PM!
Stop by our tent for some delicious Boathouse fare!!!

So, don't miss this year's Art Of Cuisine "Iron Chef" Challenge located in the "Neptune's Galley" (the park) in The Promenade at the north end of Calhoun Street.
Watch five chefs prepare a dish in one hour and then face the judges.  The only hitch is the main ingredients will be a complete surprise.  They will be provided with two types of seafood and two non-seafood ingredients.  While each chef gets to use six of their own ingredients, they'll just have to gamble on which six to bring.   

2008 Iron Chef Participants
Mike Cowan of Boathouse II
Jaime Glynn of Kingfisher Seafood & Steak
Raul Chavez of Myrtle's Bar and Grill
Joe Sullivan of Mulberry Street
Peggy Beck of Joyful Palate 
Kevin Cavanaugh of Buffalo's

Hi All,

Be sure to check out the upcoming events on Hilton Head for the month of November. There is a great deal to experience - the Island doesn't slow down just because the summer's over!

Take care.
