If you’re ready to dismiss the Jordan Thomas Foundation’s Low Country Boil because of the “limited” menu, you should know the menu’s not limited to shellfish.
Yes, there’ll be the traditional Low Country Boil ingredients of shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob, all simmered together into a hearty stew by Lee Towery Catering.
But if shellfish is not to your liking, a non-shellfish will be available as well, along with pork sliders, parmesan-crusted marinated chicken breast, fruit and cheeses. Roast beef tenderloin and a grilled marinated flank steak will be served at carving stations, complemented by mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes. Drinks, including cocktails, wine and beer, will be provided. You can finish up with desserts and champagne.
The event will start at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, at Stratton Hall. Besides the meal, attendees can enjoy a silent auction and live entertainment by Priscilla and Little Rickee. The venue will include indoor and outdoor seating, with access to patio fireplaces.
