Our first day in Hilton Head was Morgan's birthday. We started the day off right by going to Chef David's new restaurant, Roastfish & Cornbread. Mom and I split a platter that consisted of scallops, shrimp, oysters, tilapia, sweet potato corn bread, hush puppies, and fried okra. After that we decided to head to Svannah, GA to walk around and hopefully get some Paula Deen's cooking for dinner.
With a little help we found the restaurant, and with some serious luck made reservations for 6PM. Usually people are lined up as soon as they start taking reservations in the morning to get a table.
While we waited for our reservation we walked around and explored some of the shops in the area. The Paris Market had to be my favorite with it's unique blend of antiques, bones and bug paperweights, to jewelry it was somewhere I could see myself spending a good deal of money.
We also went for a walk down by the waterfront enjoying the pleasant weather.
We took in a few more of the sights.
I saw an interesting sign on panhandling.
Finally, it was time to hit it up buffet style. I'm sure all of this was made with at the very least a pound of butter.
My first plate from the buffet.
Nom nom nom nom.
For dessert I went with a southern favorite; key lime pie.
On our last day we headed to the Sea Trawler for our final birthday dinner.
My brother turned 27 and I turned 23.
This was our favorite restaurant of the weekend with Paula Deen falling into a close second.
This was probably one of the best birthdays I've ever had. Full of food and good times with my family.
