Crickett Cove addition

For many years we enjoyed a pretty little restaurant on the second floor of a building overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway at Crickett Cove Marina in Little River. The eatery was called Currents, and we saw it change ownership a couple of years ago.

Now the restaurant has another new owner, and it also has a new name: Snooky’s. When Snooky’s opens, the menu is going to be heavy on seafood such as Conch Fritters, Crab Dip, Jumbo Crab-stuffed Shrimp, an Alaskan Salmon BLT, Carolina Blue Crab Cake Sandwich and Grouper Mediterranean.

Other intriguing menu items include an entrée called Charlie the Tuna, which is blackened sashimi tuna on angel hair pasta and topped with crab meat; the Grouper Corey Sandwich where a grouper filet is coated in almond oatmeal flour before cooked to golden brown; Fried Green Tomato Baguette with Chevre cheese and black pepper aioli; and Aunt Judy’s Snooky Salad with spinach, strawberries and house-made raspberry vinaigrette.

Benjamin's Bakery makes a variety of bread products.

Iced or spiced

Benjamin’s Bakery in Surfside beach is in need of a baker who will also make bread deliveries. Check out the complete job listing HERE.

And while we’re on the subject of Benjamin’s, they are now making fresh donut holes every day. Varieties include chocolate or vanilla that can be iced or sugar-spiced. Commercial customers can have daily deliveries of donut holes packaged in 12-ounce clear-view bags perfect for resale purposes, or packaged in boxes for convenient use in restaurants, on buffets or for Continental breakfasts.

Retail customers can visit Benjamin’s coffee shop called Jacob’s Java to purchase the donut holes, plus many other baked treats like bagels and fresh bread loaves.

Conde countdown

No, we’re not talking about the amount of time Condoleezza Rice has left in the White House.

The travel experts at Conde Naste came up with a list of their favorite restaurants throughout the world. HERE is a link to their North American list.

We think there are about 100 fine restaurants that need to be added to the list.
