Food Complaint

Recent email::

Dear Wiley,
I have a real complaint about your food & restaurant. We were there last Sat nite April 17th, and the food was so damn good I ate so much I walked out of there like a stuffed pig. And besides that, the service and servers were so good I walked out of there smiling.
Don’t know if you remember me but we took a seat at the bar while waiting for a table to clear. You were sitting at the end and I thought you were just one of the employees taking a break. I noted your shirt with Wiley on it and just to be funny said, “How ya doin Wiley”, not realizing that you actually were Wiley. I was the tall skinny guy from Chicago with my wife and 2 friends, coming to your place for the first time. Just wanted to tell you again how much we all enjoyed your BBQ and all the trimmings. It was not only the best BBQ I ever had, it was all in all one of the best meals I ever had. As you mentioned to me, we do have a shortage of good BBQ in Chicago, and that’s a fact. Now I really know what we’re missing. And your sides were outstanding, the mac & cheese, the beans, and especially the Brunswick stew, WOW!!!
My compliments to you and your wife, and to the whole crew at Wiley’s. That’s a great lil joint you have there with a whole bunch of good people working there. Your servers are wonderful and I would expect that’s passed down from the owners. I’ve already been spreading the word about your place and will continue to do so. That was my first visit to Savannah and do hope to visit again. And if I do, you can bet you’ll see me again, whether you like it or not.
Best Regards
Jim M.

New Eating Discoveries

On a recent trip to Bluffton, SC, to stock up on his stogies at Peaceful Henry’s, Wiley found a new place to eat!  The May River Grill.  It is well worth the short field trip from Savannah. Introduce yourself to Chef Charlie, the owner, and tell him Wiley told you to visit.

Some of the best fried shrimp we have ever had came out of small carry out restaurant on the corner of Montgomery and Henry Streets.  It is called David Cha Crab Seafood House.  Understand it is not fine dining…it is just fine eating.  Its location may not be in the best neighborhood, but well worth the adventure!  Wiley ordered the fried oyster/fried shrimp combo and we both decided the fried shrimp surpassed the oysters.  A single order (around $10) is more than enough for two adults.  Be sure to ask for extra tartar sauce…as you will need it. Head for one of the beautiful squares in historic Savannah for your picnic!   Bon apetit!

BBQ 101 Class…

BBQ 101 002smallBBQ 101 005Another successful BBQ 101 class was held Monday and Tuesday evenings,  January 18 and 19.  The first night was devoted to revealing lots of resources, sharing the basics and questions and answers.  The second night was “hands on.”  The students got to prep pork butts, chicken and ribs.  Two students came from Arizona and two from upper New York state!!

Our next class will occur sometime in the Spring.  Stay tuned.
