T
he incised, handpainted tablesits in Mary Alice LoricksLexington home. I callit my memory table, she
says, because all the imagesand sayings on the table remind me ofmy family and places that have specialmeaning to me.
A few years ago, while visiting herdaughter, Kori, in Alexandria, Va., Lorickchanced upon a showroom at a companythat crafts unique and colorfully paintedfurniture. Tables, blanket chests, mirrorframes and other wooden objects looklike folk art pieces on steroids. Exoticbirds, fanciful owers and swayingpalms are some of the elements used byindividual artists to create furnishings
designed to be conversation pieces.I got their business card and decidedthat someday, if I could afford it, I wouldlike to get one of their tables, recallsLorick. She liked a style called a day andnight table, which depicts the sun on oneside and the moon on the other.
When Lorick inherited some money,she decided to fulll her dream and createa one-of-a-kind table that represented her
life. She chose a 48-inch round, pedestaltable that would t the bay window areaof her sunroom. Five suede-coveredParsons chairs, each in a different color,surround the table.
On the sun half of the table, Lorickordered a garden scene that had a rockwall, reminiscent of the wall in hergrandmothers garden. The mockingbirdin the scene is symbolic of one of Loricksfavorite books, To Kill a Mockingbird,
while the yellow daisies in the gardenrepresent her mothers favorite ower.For her son Luke, a USC fan, Lorickplaced an imposing gamecock, standingregally in the garden.
The beloved family cat, Wilbury, evenmade an appearance. The artist placedhim poised among the grasses. The artistadded other creatures, like butteries,oating across the sky. But Lorickrequested not to have any squirrels in thescene. I was having a problem with themat the time and didnt want them even inmy imaginary garden.
Lorick knew that she wanted a crescentmoon above a cabbage palm in the nightscene to represent South Carolina. Sheasked for a natural beach setting withsand dunes, palms, sea oats and beachcreatures such as a sea turtle comingashore. When the children were little,we started taking them to Edisto Beach.We stayed at Egrets Point so I asked foran egret in the picture. An alligator
another inhabitant of Edisto was alsoa must.
The edge of the table is reserved forany phrases or names that a person mightwant to wrap around the table as a frame.
Lorick chose names of family membersinterspersed with special sayings ofsignicance to her. When Luke was littleand I would put him to bed, he wouldalways say, See you when the sun comesup. So I wanted that on the table.
Lorick likes the fact that objects carvedon the table arent always in correctproportion to others. For instance, aower might be the same size as a tree.But I like that folk art quality of thepiece, she explains.
When the table arrived, Lorick checkedher list of items she had requested to be
incorporated in the design. She didntremember seeing the cricket she hadrequested. On her second inspection, shespied it perched on a leaf near Wilbury,who was watching the cricket intently, hishead cocked to the side, just like he did inLoricks real garden.

s a child, a favorite memory is of the seven of us seated at a round table at a family restaurant onSaturdays. Each of the ve children typically ordered the same cherished menu item week afterweek. Sunday afternoons were reserved for brownie sundaes at a local ice cream shop. As an adult,pangs of disappointment are still felt when passing a favorite pizza place that closed down ve years
ago.We get attached to the places we love to frequent. We count on certain foods prepared in particularways. We make connections with the employees and owners of those establishments. Even in this era of
fast food and chain restaurants,there are landmark businessesthat Columbia residents fromLake Murray to the Northeastfaithfully support.
THE RUSTY ANCHOR1925 Johnson Marina in Chapin, (803)749-1555
Serving since: 1993
Whats special? People watching whilesitting under the shade on a Saturdayafternoon, listening to live music.
The Rusty Anchor Restaurant has beenserving everything from burgers andlet mignon to fried popcorn shrimpand lobster. General manager ToddDeming, who has been overseeing theestablishment at Johnson Marina onLake Murray for almost 10 years, saysThe Rusty Anchor is a draw for family
and friends because of its festive lake-sideambiance and wide selection.Customers have a view of the lake
from every table inside the restaurant,says Deming.
From the late spring to early fall,customers dine and enjoy music on the40-top deck or hang out and eat on theadjacent Quarter Deck, which seats 200.

LEXINGTON ARMSRESTAURANT & LOUNGE316 Main St., Lexington, (803) 359-2700
Serving since: 1980
Whats special? A aming bananasFoster arrives at your table during Frenchnight
Lexington Arms Restaurant & Loungehas been in the same location since itopened and still offers many of the samemenu items. Duncan Crowe, who startedLexington Arms with his wife, Elisabeth,
says that the focus from the beginninghas been to offer fresh seafood, seasonalspecials, daily specials and an extensivemenu. On German nights, there areseveral authentic veal dishes to choosefrom, while French nights offer tablesidepreparation of such dishes as steak aupoivre or steak Diane.
But, oh, the prime rib. Thats what somany people come for. We cook it theold fashioned way, he says, slow roastedon the bone for two-and-a-half to threehours.
All six of the Crowes children have
been involved in some way or anotherin the family restaurant. Phillip, theyoungest son, has been the chef for morethan 15 years. Other employees havebeen with the Crowes for almost 20 years.
Crowe says his wife ofcially retired10 years ago, but he cant imagine notshowing up for work. At 76, he says hehas seen babies grow up to have theirown babies. Lasting friendships withregular customers is the joy of thisbusiness, he adds. I enjoy it very much.
Hello, mate!Duncan Crowe, left, a native ofLondon, England, opened the Lexington Arms

at The Rusty Anchor with their families when they werechildren. Others have parents who worked there when they wereteenagers or young adults.
Whole families regularly patronize The Rusty Anchor. Specialnights when children eat for half-price or free are always draws,as are all-you-can-eat specials. And, two of the most consistently
popular menu items have been the lightly ash-fried WasabiTuna and the seafood platter with either fried or broiled shrimp,oysters, scallops and ounder.
SHEALYS BAR-B-QUE340 E. Columbia Ave. in Batesburg-Leesville, (803) 532-8135
Serving since: 1969
Whats special?Ask the waitress for a pully bone, which meansthe wishbone in the chicken.
Tommy Shealy remembers his father cooking a hog at theirhome on weekends while he was growing up. In 1969, when
Tommy was a teenager, his parents decided to turn theirweekend pastime into a full-edged culinary endeavor. ShealysBar-B-Que opened in Batesburg-Leesville and has been servingsome of the same families for 40 years.
The communities on the outskirts
of Columbia didnt have many
restaurants before their population
began expanding in the past 50
years. Before WWII, about the only
places to eat outside of family homes
around Lake Murray and in Northeast
Richland were the local boarding houses,
according to local historians.
A few other eateries popped up in the
years after the war.
In Lexington, the choices downtown
were Hites and Rawls restaurants,according to longtime Lexington attorney
Hugh Rogers.
Hites, at the intersection of Main
Street and Columbia Avenue, almost
reached its 50th birthday before closing
in 1996. Customers could sit down for
meat-and-three meals in the restaurant
or grab the popular hamburgers,
sandwiches and fries at the snack bar.
Rawls was closer to the courthouse,
making it a favorite for quick lunches with
lawyers and courthouse workers.
Outside of Lexington, the choices
included the barbecue buffet at OakGrove Barbecue, which operated for
years on Oak Drive before the building
burned down. Chavis Bar-B-Que
occupies that location today.
And out by the lake, the culinary
choices were few, but Snelgroves
Landing was known for its hot dogs.
Snelgroves closed in 2003.
In Northeast Richland, the earliest
fast food operations were snack bars
that took root on U.S. 21 and U.S. 1.
Travelers stopped at Clara Boney
Martins stand in Blythewood to enjoy
hamburgers, hot dogs and a variety
of fried fruit pies under the shade of a
sycamore tree on Wilson Boulevard. The
ofcial name was The Clara Shop but
locals knew it as Mrs. Claras Sandwich
Shop, according to the Blythewood
Historical Society.
The shop closed years ago, and
Martins family moved the building to the
back of some property nearby. Its still
standing, with the sign advertising 15-
cent hot dogs, 25-cent hamburgers and
10-cent pies.
The Whales Tail was one landmark
restaurant on Broad River Road that still
resonates in the minds of baby boomers
who grew up in Columbia. It closed in
the early 1980s.
FAVORITES FROM PAGE 16

Barbecue has been Shealys life. The restaurant still usesthe same slow roasting process for the barbecue, as well as thesame ingredients and recipes as it always has. The volume isjust much larger than when they started, so cooking barbecueevolved from the cast iron kettle that his father originallyused to larger steam kettles. Today, around 6,000 pounds areprepared weekly.
Although two sauces are offered mustard and vinegar based
mustard has always been the most popular. In recent years,Shealys has bottled, labeled, and sold its mustard-based sauceat South Carolina grocery stores. Even though Shealys parentsare deceased, he says their legacy lives on in the hearts andstomachs of second and third generation customers. Makingpeople happy and seeing them enjoy themselves is what thisbusiness is all about, says Shealy, who admits that he never tiresof eating barbecue himself.
LITTLE PIGS BARBECUE4927 Alpine Road, Columbia, (803) 788-8238
Serving since 1962
Whats special? Its a barbecue joint, try the pulled pork (andon Sundays you can go a little upscale with shrimp and grits).
The restaurant started in Columbia on Rosewood Drivein 1962, and original owner Lawrence Brittain moved it in1978 to its current location in Northeast Richland. Back thennobody called it the Northeast Richland. It was more like thehinterlands.
I asked (Brittain) What in the world are you doing movingout there? says Champ McGee, who worked for Brittainand eventually took over as owner. Turns out, Brittain wasa trailblazer, and Little Pigs is one of the longest-runningrestaurants in the Northeast.
Its a classic Southern barbecue buffet, with a serving linethat has grown from 20 to 40 items, including three kinds of
barbecue pork along with chicken. The restaurant seats 172,and its often full.Little Pigs fans were worried when a re destroyed the
building in 2009, but McGee rebuilt quickly and was re-openedin ve months. We were packed those rst few weeks back,McGee says. When you get customers who eat with youweekly, or monthly or at least a few times a year, they miss you.
The publicity from the re and the excitement about thereturn of Little Pigs might have helped the restaurant earn abest-in-South Carolina honor from Southern Living in 2010.
Customers keep coming back for the quality of the food andthe friendliness of the staff, McGee says.

When Koon sells angus or charolais beef, or cows that are across between the two, at the nearby Saluda Livestock Market,they are not sold on the hoof or by the head as most areafarmers measure cattle. For him, its by the face.
During harvest time, Koon gets help from one of his foursisters, Cindy, who also tends her small herd of boer goats in aseparate fenced pasture on the family farm. He relies heavily onAmy, his wife of 18 years, for moral support and sporadic helpwith a breached calf. Otherwise, Koon manages single-handedlythe 210 acres of Double Acres Farm, cut through by the
Newberry & Laurens Railroad line and Broad River Road.His only other herding help comes from four llamas and
Nickodemus, a burro with a lot of attitude.Llamas and donkey, by nature, dont like canines, explained
Amy Koon. That means not only dogs, but also the coyoteswe can hear yipping out in the woods that edge the home place,especially late at night when a train is passing by.
The cows are far more comfortable with David Koon, their

caregiver, so he moves easily among theskittish animals to check on them and,when its market time, to coax them intothe bed of his 1953 International truck.He has taken an average of 60 head ofcattle a year to market.
The beef Koon sells in Saluda isshipped out west and processed before itmakes it way into the grocery chains.
Koons beef is highly prized at marketbecause he uses no hormones or articialinsemination in raising his cattle.
The beef from Koon cows is not asfork-tender as cuts packaged and waitingat the grocery store. That doesnt stoplocals from asking Koon if they can buya side of beef from him. He has to turnthem down. As FDA regulations havebecome more stringent, it has becomemore and more prohibitive to processyour own meat, he explained.
Koon began working at the farmwhen he was 7 years old. His father,Calvin Koon, was the fth generationof Koon to work the land. David Koonattended Clemson University to becomean agricultural engineering major. Heis a 2001 recipient of Woodmen of theWorlds Conservation Award, and also hasreceived Richland County Farm Bureaus1987 Young Farmer Award and RichlandConservation Districts 1990 YoungFarmer Award.
He also operates an on-site sawmill.This farm has always been both, said
Koon, the only one of ve siblingskeeping the operation viable.
Cows dont like to wait; they get loudif they dont get fed on time, so I get tothe saw mill when I can because woodcan wait, he said.
Koon mills local wood for his own useand for a variety of consumer purposes,often to exacting specications. A veryold cedar tree felled by a 2011 storm is waiting for its sap to recede so he canmill it. It could take months or years. Ablack walnut that once provided AmyKoons grandfather shade dried out for six
years before David Koon made his wife abed frame out of it.
He can build anything, she said,gesturing to the stately grandfather clockstanding sentinel in their downstairscenter hall. He crafted a china cabinetfrom an over-sized chinaberry tree whenhe was just a teen. Floor boards milledfrom various tree species cover a sectionof their upstairs hallway. I salvage wastewood. These slabs used to re breadovens in bakeries downtown. Sawdust is
used for chicken houses, shavings are usedfor customers horse stalls, cedar chips forcontrolling eas in dog beds, and otherwood chips are bought for landscaping orlining ower beds. Theres some use for itall, Koon said.
His approach to farming and millingenables him to practice the stewardship
he believes in so fervently. We hope tobecome even more sustainable aroundhere with more of a garden than wevehad, he said. But for now, nothing goesto waste on this farm.

Q on the go.Chef Scott Hall hands a customer an order from his Bone-In Artisan Barbecue truck. Bone-In was named one of the 20 best food trucks inthe United States.
Less than a year after hitting the road, Bone-
in Artisan Barbecue on Wheels was named
one of the 20 best food trucks in the United
States by Smithsonian magazine. And the
accolades just keep on coming.
Last summer, GQ included it among its list
of Best Places to Eat Right Now. Its been
featured on two cooking channel programs
and will be highlighted on an upcoming BRAVO
reality TV show and on the Travel Channel.
Food trucks are a big part of todays food
culture, said Bone-in chef Scott Hall. Its themelding of casual street food with creative
cuisine.
This is not your corner hot dog cart. Hall
starts with bone-in pork shoulder and brines it
for 24 hours in a bath of spices, salt and sugar.
Its rubbed with salt, garlic and more spices,
smoked for 14 hours in a low temperature
smoking chamber and then hand-pulled using a
unique shredding method.
We serve it on the truck the same day its
pulled so you dont get the wet-dog taste
that pork takes on after two or three days of
refrigeration, Hall said. Its not a health issue,
its about avor.
Both the hickory smoked pork and beef
brisket are served on baked-in-the-morning
focaccia bread and served with gingered apple
carrot coleslaw and your choice of salad or
hand-cut raw fries.
Along with the barbecue staples, Bone-ins
menu can include specials like chicken and
wafes, beer-battered fried sh and chorizo
and pimento cheese on sourdough. Foodiefans can check out the trucks weekly menu
and scheduled stops online or with their smart
phones.
Social media is a huge part of our business,
Hall said. We have 4,000 followers on both
Facebook and Twitter. Were constantly engaged
with our customers.

The Halls came into the receptionrental and catering business after runninga successful orist in Columbia andLexington in the early 90s.
People would come in and ask us ifwe knew of any place where they couldhave a reception, Sheila Hall recalled.They wanted something different.
The Corley Mill House t the bill.Built in 1908, the two-story whiteclapboard house had been the former
residence of the Corleys, who ran alumber mill in the area for nearly acentury. When the Halls bought thehouse in January 1997, it was in disrepairand in need of serious landscaping.
There wasnt a blade of grass in theyard, Sheila Hall said. It was pretty bleak.
Despite its unsightly appearance, thehistoric house had enough panache to sella bride-to-be on the site for her weddingreception. Three months after buyingthe property, the Halls were playing host
to 425 guests. It would turn out to be thebiggest event ever booked in the facility.
Although the 2,000-square-foot housecould not begin to accommodate such alarge crowd, the backyard offered plentyof space. The Halls quickly set to workon creating a picturesque garden thatwould serve as the backdrop for the party.In addition to landscaping the yard, SteveHall hand-built a large white gazeboand wraparound deck overlooking thesurrounding countryside.
The week following the reception, they
hosted their rst wedding. As word gotout about the new venue, reservationsbegan pouring in.
After that rst year, we sold theorist, Sheila Hall said. We couldntkeep up with both. We were having twoto three weddings a weekend.
With the business in full swingand growing, they decided to build a5,000-square-foot addition that includes agallery, a second outdoor deck and a largereception hall with a stage and seating

space for up to 220 guests.Although bookings have slowed a bit
with the sour economy, advance noticeof one to one-and-a-half years is stillrequired to reserve the house for an eventon weekends in spring, summer and fall.
Most of the weddings are held
outdoors, Stephanie Hall said. Peoplelike the look of an old Southernplantation home with the Magnolia andpecan trees. And its a lot less expensivethan Charleston.
For the bigger parties, the Halls hire await staff. Other than that, Sheila, Steve
and Stephanie take care of everythingthemselves. They cook the food, set uptables and chairs, lay out the linens anddecorate the hall and gardens.
Mom, dad and I have worked everyevent weve had here the last 15 years,said Stephanie Hall, 41. Were reallyhands-on. We dont want to leave
anything to chance. We want every eventto be the best it can be.Scott Hall, 35, joined the clan four
years ago after a 10-year stint in NewYork working in restaurants and runninghis own catering business. With thesupport of his family, he started ScottHall Catering and Event Design, an off-site catering business offering cutting-edge haute cuisine.
In March 2011, the enterprising chefjoined the gourmet food truck revolutionwith Bone-in Artisan Barbecue onWheels. His parents and sister jumpedright in to help.
Stephanie takes the orders, I serve upthe food and my husband fries the hand-cut chips and beer-battered sh, SheilaHall said. Its a family affair.

Chapin authors Bill and June Bowen are naturalstorytellers raconteurs in the truest sense of theword.
Southern born and bred, they each learnedearly on at the feet of their elders the intrinsic
value of sharing tales, perhaps on front porches with friendsand relatives on Sunday afternoons or in the parlor on early
evenings with family. They learned to listen, to remember, torecount the stories and then to write.The couple, both in their 80s, have written books which were
published last summer. Bill, a Charleston native, put togetherhis collection of stories, anecdotes, poems and homespunphilosophy in his Gleanings of an Old Geechee. June, whogrew up on Sullivans Island, wrote her rst novel, IslandGirl, an historic romantic drama set on Sullivans Island in a40-year time frame from the 1940s through the 1970s. Thestory is based on true facts.
Bill and June met as teenagers from rival high schools andfell in love in between high school and college.
June had a scholarship to College of Charleston, and Billgraduated from Mars Hill in North Carolina. They got marriedand moved from the Lowcountry to Greenville, where Bill wasin the food brokerage business. They moved to Chapin 30 yearsago to be closer to their families. In December, they celebratedtheir 58th wedding anniversary. They have three daughters andeight grandchildren.
They have traveled to all 50 states and beyond to SouthAmerica and Europe. They have boarded 25 cruises.
They excel at duplicate bridge and are active in their seniorgroups at Chapin United Methodist Church. Both playedtennis and were an integral part of the Mists Kitchen Band forve years.
They also love words.Bill won a limerick contest in The State newspaper in 1995.
The next year, June won the contest. They still can recite thoselimericks. Bill wrote regular columns for the newspaper between1995 and 1997. He still likes to pen letters to the editor aboutimportant matters, but his rst love is writing poetry.
Bill last year decided to put some of his writings in a bookform. He said in his 80 years, hes experienced much of what hewrote in his book.
Its about love, life and death, he said. Its also about livingin and around Charleston, South Carolina, during and afterWWII. Its about shing in the rivers and the lakes, which,at the time, were teeming with sh and other wildlife. Itsprofound, its funny, and its thought-provoking.
June, too, had been thinking about writing a book for
a while, but she didnt know how to use a computer. Onemorning last year, she woke up and said, Im going to writea book. Island Girl was born. Bill tutored her in becomingcomputer literate.
They attended a book fair in Columbia last spring and wereencouraged. June told a publisher then that she was writing abestseller.
I like my book, she said. I think its good.Junes book was published by XLibris in August and Bills
in September. Since then, they have spoken at book clubs andhave had some book signings.
Now that she has one book nished, June wants to writemore. She said shes not really a writer but a storyteller with astory to tell.
Bills philosophy is that life is fun every day. Don Quixote ismy hero.

Construction of The Bounty Seafood Restaurant on Caughmans Pond Road near Highway 378 in Lower Richland
County. The seafood restaurant was popular with people who came for the buffet and sometimes got a ride around
the pond (in a much smaller boat called the Baby Bounty). The restaurant was owned by B.C. Inabinet of Defender
Industries, an industrial maintenance rm. The restaurant supposedly was built as a replica of the HMS Bounty.
Inabinet, who opened other seafood restaurents in the Midlands, died in 1983; the restaurant closed a few years
after.
