In addition to selling restaurant equipment at J.E.S. I also work in the concert production industry and a couple weeks ago the gig landed me in Jekyll Island, GA for the 2010 Wild Georgia Shrimp & Grits Festival.  This was not my first trip to Jekyll Island and made for the second consecutive year working at the festival.  The festivities took place amongst the live oaks, which are older than our grandparents, in the beautiful historic district on the island just in front of the Jekyll Island Club Hotel and it was obvious everyone had only one thing in mind, shrimp and grits!  For those readers that still aren’t sure what  “grits” are…  grits are made from coarsely ground corn and when combined with hot water make a delicious porridge like food.  Shrimp and grits however is a delicacy that has been served in the southern states for many many years and has as many variations as there are types of grits and species of shrimp but no matter how you prepare it the name remains the same.

Most of you probably only know this day as February 3rd—the day after Groundhog’s Day— but for all the foodies in the restaurant realm, this day is known as National Carrot Cake Day. This unofficial food holiday comes around annually and is a time when chef’s experiment with a variety of ways to use carrot cake in their recipes.

Of all of the advancements in modern cooking over the years, the ever-increasing accessibility of various herbs and spices has been one of the most influential changes. Although importing spices was a very expensive endeavor in the past, modern transportation, shipping, and preservation methods have removed the barriers that once limited cultures to the indigenous flavors of the surrounding geography. Most modern chefs use a wide variety of spices in their everyday cooking, and many keep their spice cabinets well-stocked with various ingredients from all across the globe. Most of these spice cabinets, however, are filled primarily with dried and ground spices rather than the “real thing,” which causes some curious culinarians to wonder: what are the benefits of fresh spices versus dried spices.
