How To Eat Your Way Across Myrtle Beach

The Sporkful

The owner of Big Mike’s Soul Food in Myrtle Beach is also a city councilman, a church deacon, and a real estate agent -- so helping people is at the core of his work. The general manager at Croissants Bistro & Bakery went to coffee school and ice cream school. At Rivertown Bistro, chef Darren Smith’s lowcountry spring rolls are so popular, they paid for his daughter’s college tuition. As Dan found when he went there, Myrtle Beach is full of great food, and great stories of the people behind the food. 

This episode is sponsored by Visit Myrtle Beach. The city has more than 2,000 restaurants along 60 miles of beaches, and is now one of the major food destinations in the south. So plan your trip today!

The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O’Hara, Max Miller, Kameel Stanley, and Jared O'Connell. Publishing by Shantel Holder.
