| Executive Chef Jason Brumfiel of the King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort |
Isn’t it enough that the King and Prince Beach & Golf
Resort is one of the Historic Hotels of America, right smack on the Atlantic
Ocean with its own gorgeous stretch of beach? No, apparently not. They are not
content to simply rest on decades of laurels for hospitality and fine dining.
Now, they are expanding their dining options with a planned massive remodel of
their restaurants both inside and outdoors at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
Oh,
and did we mention they are also hosting A Taste of Glynn again this year? Our
wonderful friends have welcomed between 1,000 and 1,200 guests for an evening
of tasting the best efforts of the Golden Isles most talented chefs for years,
in support of the Glynn Community Crisis Center.
That
should be enough to rattle anyone, but Executive Chef Jason Brumfiel, and the
entire management team at the King and Prince are always happy, smiling,
reassuring and glad to make the evening the best party of the year. And they
do. But they do more than just play host to a thousand of their closest friends.
They also enter- and frequently win lots of prizes- at A Taste of Glynn as a
competitor.
Chef
Jason and his team plan to enter two favorite categories this year. The first
is the Locally Inspired category. This was an easy one because quite a few things on the King and Prince menu come from suppliers within a 100-mile radius.
Closer if possible.
“I
like to know where my food comes from,” he pointed out. “We buy as much as we can from
local fishermen, and a lot of our meats come from farms in Southeast Georgia. Local really
is best.”
But
when it came down to selecting exactly which dish they would enter, Chef Jason
was overwhelmed with choices. Their new menu features more complex tastes. They
are all winners, so he narrowed it down to a Wild Georgia Shrimp and Grits Cake.
It features a savory grits cake with shrimp stock, smoked cheese, onions and
peppers, sautéed Andouille sausage, a remoulade garnish and tender shrimp set
into the grits cake.
And
as if that wasn’t tempting enough, imagine this dessert that the King and
Prince team is entering. It’s a peach-pecan tartlet with homemade cinnamon cream. With a shortbread crust, no less. And there will be at least a thousand of
these beauties, all neatly arranged on a table on the Ocean Terrace. It’s
enough to give you happy dreams until you can get to his table at A Taste of
Glynn. Just remember to vote for Jason’s dessert if it makes you happy. And the
shrimp cakes, too.
In
fact- vote for all of your favorites in 5 categories with the new “You be the judge!”
theme this year. A Taste of Glynn, presented by Stambaugh Aviation, will take
place on March 24, 2013, from 5-8 PM at the King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort.
A complimentary shuttle service from Massengale Park makes parking easy. Enjoy
live entertainment by Michael Hulett and The Not Brothers, and be sure to shop
the famous Silent Auction. Tickets are $50 in advance, $60 at the door.
Purchase them in Brunswick at Baby Mack’s BBQ, Hattie’s Books, McGarvey’s Wee
Pub, Zachry’s Seafood & Steak and the Glynn Community Crisis Center
offices. On St Simons, tickets are on sale at both SunTrust Bank locations, the
King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort.
