We are so excited about a recent project we collaborated on with Southern Foodways Alliance, Hirsch Vineyards, and Whole Foods. This past winter, we visited Hirsch out in Sonoma and working together with John David Harmon of Whole Foods, we custom-blended our very own Pinot Noir wine. The wine, called Southbound Cuvee, is now on sale in all Whole Foods throughout the Southeast, and for every bottle sold, Whole Foods will donate $2 to the SFA, an organization we at FIG are extremely passionate about supporting.
Our local Whole Foods in Mt. Pleasant is stocking Southbound on the shelves now, so join us in support of SFA and have a glass!
The FIG team recently lent a helping hand at the Neighborhood House in Charleston to take part in the Charleston Chefs Feed The Need Initiative. Feed the Need is a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting education and awareness of local hunger issues by sponsoring local activities and events.
In January 2009, Mike had the opportunity to visit the Turks & Caicos Sporting Club at Ambergis Cay in the British West Indies as guest chef for the weekend. Before he jetted off for a weekend of fresh fish, tropical flavors and beautiful beaches, he was interviewed about his passion for cooking for"In Conversation With...," a monthly series of intimate video lectures featuring the inspiring personalities who are invited to visit the island.
We invite you to go behind the scenes to see what happens in the FIG kitchen!
