Things have an interesting way of coming around full circle. Take Dave Peck for example. Before he became one of the island’s most fascinating serial restaurateurs, with Bad Biscuit and A Lowcountry Backyard on his resume, he was just a Hilton Head Island kid learning the rewards of hard work. “I used to dump the trash cans at Coligny. I’d mow the grass, I’d do the weeding… it was my job,” he said. With the pay he earned working odd jobs around the plaza for Coligny founder Norris Richardson, he always made sure to pay a visit to Urato’s Plaza Pizza. Each deliciously cheesy slice was a mouth-watering payoff for a day spent toiling away in the summer sun. “They used to open the top half of the door and serve pizza by the slice out of the window,” said Peck. “I remember having to look up to order, with my hands just reaching the top.” 16
