What To Expect

Meet Clay at his home and begin your culinary experience with a tour of his historic house (built in 1939) and grounds that offer beautiful views of Tybee, Little Tybee and Wassaw, a wildlife refuge with 8 miles of open marsh. Then join Clay in his open plan galley kitchen to learn to cook a Low-Country boil – a flavorful one-pot feast of seafood, sausage, potatoes, and corn (or for those who don't want seafood, a Brunswick stew – a rich, slow cooked smoked pork stewed in a tomato broth). Learn about the history of this culinary tradition that got its roots from Gullah culture. You will also learn to make a Southern vegetable side dish. Your communal cooking experience lasts about 1.5 hours. After cooking, share the meal you helped prepare at the dining table or the outdoor patio with Clay and his family. Your meal concludes with a seasonal dessert and includes a couple of glasses of wine or beer. Clay can accommodate dietary restrictions – whether vegetarian, seafood, gluten-free, etc. so if you have a dietary request please include it when making your booking. Enjoy an authentic Southern culinary experience with Clay at his lovely home that he shares with his family and two dogs.
