Chef Bret Jennings will be cooking up a storm at the first annual Chef’s Throwdown on Saturday February 25th at The Carolina Inn. Shrimp & Grits is the featured ingredient and you can watch, taste and cast your vote for the winner. All proceeds from the event will benefit TABLE, a great charity focused on serving local children at risk

On February 7, we will be hosting Glenwood Night! A percentage of the proceeds from the night will go toward a new playground for the local Glenwood neighborhood. Make a reservation for an early Valentine’s Day dinner and come by to lend a hand to some of our community’s kids!

Tomato plate time! Right now, we’re slicing the Cherokee Purples, Kellogg’s Breakfast (yellow) and my new favorite, Cherokee Greens (ripe green). We’ve paired these with some marinated sungold cherry tomatoes, fried green tomatoes, some Millarckee Farms’ arugula and a drizzle of Celebrity Dairy goat cheese with aged balsamic and extra virgin olive oil. Elaine’s has been lucky enough to deal

It’s once again time for Restaurant Week at Elaine’s! Next week, from Tuesday, June 7 through Thursday June 9, Elaine’s will be offering a special $35 prix fixe menu all night long.  This special includes all of the items on the dinner and dessert menus.  That’s right.  Choose an appetizer, choose an entrée, choose a dessert.  $35.
