What’s cooking is a competition to find the best Brunswick stew entry out of 50+ teams’ best effort. The annual Brunswick Rockin’ Stewbilee event will be held on October 17th and 18th at Mary Ross Waterfront Park in downtown Brunswick, GA. In addition to good food, the well known and popular band KC & The Sunshine Band will entertain with some new tunes and old favorites such as GET DOWN TONIGHT, THAT’S THE WAY I LIKE IT and SHAKE YOUR BOOTY. If moving and grooving to those songs is not enough action, a 5K race is planned, a car show and vendors with their best arts and crafts.
A link follows if you’d like to read more on making a trip for this fun event. I must say, October and November are unusually great months to enjoy the Golden Isles.
I am assuming that everyone knows about the rivalry between Brunswick, GA and Brunswick County in southern Virginia. Here in Glynn County we state that the first Brunswick Stew was cooked on nearby St. Simons Island in 1898. Natives of Brunswick County, VA, claim that a Virginia state legislator invented the recipe in 1928 on a hunting expedition and everyone was immediately hooked. No one can say with a certainty which actually made the meaty concoction first, but we definitely know how to make it now. My oldest son and daughter operate Beachcomber BBQ, and have their version which is a very popular item on the menu.
Plan a visit to the Golden Isles of GA this Fall and see why so many others have chosen to make it their home. |
