WELL FED LETTERS Dear friends of Well FED, There’s something always so exotically witchy and wonderfully sinister about summer in the south. Maybe it’s the humidity that makes our collective hoodoo run amock or maybe it’s the discomfort of a blazing sun that disrupts the polite conversation we are so good at, peppering sentences less with “Please m’am” and “Thank you sir” and more like “ Screw your damn tea luncheon and screw Jeb Bush.” Far be it from me to completely sing the praises of the 98 degree days that are enough to make you want to slap your momma’ or go the Faulker route and condone all the derelict behavior that the heat tends to inspire in us, but I confess, the southern summer deserves due praise. For starters, it’s prime time growing season here-tomato’s, squash, watermelon -the good, juicy gems from backyard scratch gardens, each a reminder of what earth tilled can bring forth even in the most blazing of days—dedicated work by Savannah’s very own local green superhero’s, SUGA and Occugardens. And what about dinner parties? The only thing we love more here in Savannah than eating is entertaining and there’s no better form of regular entertaining than a chef in a kitchen trying out local mixes, much like the new chef at Cha Bella. Boiled Peanuts, blue crab , sweet corn - all southern staples and a reminder that while taking a stand in the limelight under the banner of “local fare”, have long been the backbone of the dinner table when money was tight. Perhaps it’s tacky to throw this in here, but as The Cost of Eating Well continues to dominate our tongues and the nations quest to eat well, it is now more than ever, than we must ask how we can make sure everyone can afford to eat well. Which is why my celebration of one year at Well FED, while brilliantly capped off with the privilege of writing the editors letter, is only about, oh I don’t know, three-five months late, I say to you to put on a brave, sun-screened face and embrace the feverous months to come. While sweat and heat rashes are nigh, so too are some of our sweetest treasures which should be met with utter delight.
THE WELL FED

FORSYTH NON FARMERS’ MARKET
WHAT ORGANIC OPTIONS ARE IN-STORE? Writte by Chantel Britton In recent years, our country has started making a visible shift towards healthier, cleaner and more sustainable living. The changes are sprouting up all around us. While shopping, we can opt for compact florescent light bulbs, plant-based cleaners and 100% recycled paper products. Companies are continually providing consumers with better alternatives to the harmful options shoppers have been limited to pretty much since the Industrial Revolution. The trend extends to our food, as consumers are wising up to the artificial and detrimental ingredients and additives in processed foods. We’re noticing how these pseudo-foods are harming our health, so we’re investing in better options. Although traditional medicine may incline you to believe otherwise, health at the most basic level starts with what you eat. In an effort to live a healthier, more holistic lifestyle, many households are looking to make better food choices. Organic eating has become a hot topic because of the ongoing nation-wide movement for healthier living and sustainable agricultural practices, but with so much debate regarding price and quality comparison to conventionally-sourced foods, it can be hard to figure out whether or not eating organically is even accessible for the average shopper. Organic foods, unlike their conventional counterparts, are produced in isolation of pesticides, additives, genetically-modified organisms and other artificial agents. These foods must meet strict requirements, which include health and welfare standards for organic livestock and farm soil standards that are prescribed by the US Department of Agriculture. Simply put, organic foods can be thought of as food the way that nature intended. In the latest edition of The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia, author Rebecca Wood said, “Buying organic is voting with your fork.
Favor organic foods whenever possible for their extra flavor and greater nutritional value and energy. Chemically grown foods take their toll on your kidneys and liver (the organs that filter chemicals) as well as the environment.” Wood encourages buyers to shop organically when they can. In the local area, there are sundry opportunities to purchase organic foods. We visited four national grocers: Walmart, Publix, Kroger and Whole Foods, and three local markets: Jones Red & White, Brighter Day and the Forsyth Farmers’ Market, to do an ‘apples to apples’ price comparison of organic and nonorganic kitchen staples. Our list includes popular fares from all the vital food groups, and with regard to the grains, we opted for whole wheat products because they are much more nutritious than their white, refined counterparts. In this quest, we recorded the cheapest non-sale price of each item we could find, regardless of brand or vendor, with hopes to provide a black and white snapshot of the real price of eating organically as it compares to the conventional equivalents. Keep in mind that prices are determined by a large number of factors, and they are always in flux. What you see in this table might not be the sticker price of each item today. Also, grocery items change; not all products were found in every store. Items that weren’t in store at the time of this investigation may rotate in according to the season. We all know that higher quality usually corresponds to higher prices, as is usually the case with organic foods. But the reality is that although it seems that way, organic foods aren’t expensive. On the contrary, it’s just that conventional foods, which are so cheaply made, are just so cheaply priced. -Continued on Next Page WELLF EDSAVA NNA H. C OM | FEED 11
Regardless, there are still ways to make organic eating affordable for essentially every household. Choosing the right grocer is the first step. Here’s what we found: Of the seven grocers at the time of this investigation, Whole Foods Market carried the widest selection of organic products. Their organic products were surprisingly not much more expensive than other stores. For some products, such as organic onions, milk or eggs, their prices were even cheaper than Walmart; breaking the misnomer of “Whole Paycheck”. It is worth noting that Whole Foods is the only national grocer on our list selling organic eggs that are truly free-range as opposed to merely cage-free, which is a label that doesn’t guarantee the same spacious open pastures for the hens; it only means no cages, so the hens may still be raised collectively in a cramped room at best. They also offered conventionallysourced eggs that are free-range as well. Kroger Marketplace (the “Super-Kroger” on Mall Blvd.) came in as a close second, offering a plentiful variety of organic products. Due in part to their Simple Truth natural and organic products brand, the organic food prices were collectively the cheapest of the bunch. When shopping organically or in general, if you have the choice, always opt for store brands as opposed to national brands. It will surely save money, and stores may frequently offer coupons and sales to promote their brand. Local natural foods store Brighter Day carried a formidable array of organic foods, and though some select items were a bit more costly than those in the national stores, several of the food items in Brighter Day were quite competitively priced, breaking the misconception that local stores cannot compete with national chains; although this is likely made possible by the store itself making a sacrifice on its profit margins. Like Whole Foods, Brighter Day also carries free-range eggs in both organic and nonorganic forms. Walmart, Kroger, Red & White and Publix’s organic eggs were all only cage-free. Publix at the Twelve Oaks Shopping Plaza contained
an apt selection of organic foods with prices that are comparable to the other aforementioned stores. They were, however, deficient in certified organic options for cheese and chicken. They do offer nearly organic chicken, free of hormones and antibiotics, fed a vegetarian diet, but since they were not certified organic, those offerings were excluded from our research. It is worth noting that Georgia is the nation’s largest producer of poultry and the means by which these animals are raised vary widely with just as many accompanying designations. Organic, Natural, Hormone free, Free Range, Pasture Raised, Vegetarian diet... the list goes on. For the sake of our research, we kept our pricing to the most inexpensive certified organic and non-certified organic we could find in each store. Keep in mind that the quality and practices behind a non-organic chicken at Whole Foods or Brighter Day will vary greatly from non-organic chicken at Walmart. The Super Walmart on Abercorn has increased its selection of organic foods in the recent years, bringing their competitive pricing along with it, albeit with limited availability. (We had to visit several Walmart locations to find the organic produce listed.) Locally owned and operated Jones Red & White had the most limited selection of organic foods with just three items on our list: an expensively-priced half gallon of milk, coupled by cage-free eggs and spinach. Given that the store is a local entity, it would be nice to see more locally-sourced products sold here. As for their conventional selection, we have to give them credit for even being able to keep up with the national chains, having the cheapest chicken and blueberries in town. How they are able to undercut Walmart is an almost magical feat in intself. We decided to also include The Forsyth Farmers’ Market in our research. They are a unique entity worth mentioning here as they are a true producers market. This means that the selection of items is determined almost exclusively by the season and the vendors participating that day. While the available items listed in our table for FFM may be sparse, the
market is an excellent grocery source for a huge variety of local, fresh-farmed goods that just didn’t appear on our list. Also, some of the items like blueberries can certainly be found at FFM, but just during the appropriate growing season. We spoke to FFM director Teri Schell to get some more insight into the shopping opportunities for organic eating that are offered at the market. Of the 18 regular farmers, FFM hosts between six and eight farmers who are either certified organic or growing organically. These farmers provide the market shoppers with a seasonal variety of organic fruits and vegetables. And some of FFM’s prepared foods vendors utilize organic ingredients that are also grown locally. For Schell, organic foods and products are the better choice especially for individuals with chemical sensitivities. “Everybody has a different physiological make up . . . but I do think that a cleaner diet and an organic diet would help throw out a lot of health issues.” The farmers’ market does a lot to promote local and organic eating. SNAP shoppers are able to double their benefit dollars through FFM’s partnership with Wholesome Wave Georgia, making local, organic eating more accessible for these households. Additionally, FFM hosts education and health events for the entire community to help support an organic lifestyle. “We do family fun days where there are educational opportunities for learning about food and healthy recipes. Soon we’ll have Farm Truck 912 rolling, and we will have education with that truck at every stop. Hopefully talking to people about healthy foods and the benefits of local and organic will go a long way,” Schell explained. Schell believes that Savannah is ripe with opportunities for organic and healthy eating. Between the various grocers, farmers’ markets and community gardens in the area, shoppers have myriad options to choose from for organic foodstuffs. Schell also identified Brighter Day as one of the most precious jewels among these. “Brighter Day has been here all along helping our community eat healthy,” she began, “They do a really good job of curating their store, having organic, GMO-free and chemical-free foods. And they also accept SNAP; not a lot of people know that. So that’s a good place to go.” Having first opened its doors in 1978, Brighter Day has really helped pioneer the wholefoods movement here in Savannah. “We watched the interest and
“WE WANT TO MAKE ALL OF THE CHOICES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS BE TRULY HEALTHY ONES.” growth of the availability of natural foods get to the point where you can really find [them] anywhere now . . . Consumers are wanting more organic, more natural wholesome foods, so that’s exciting,” said store owner Janie Brodhead. At Brighter Day, organic is always the first choice. “It’s grown without pesticides, without chemical fertilizers . . . the USDA organic seal is a good one because you really know what you’re getting,” Brodhead explained. Brodhead added, “We want to make all of the choices that we have available to our customers be truly healthy ones. We try to guide [our customers] through the journey to help them eat better.” There are plenty of ways to get into organic eating in Savannah. Vendors and groups all around the city are looking to improve health by getting down to the fundamentals: food. Once you’ve made the decision to move away from artificial, refined and processed foods to start eating more cleanly, the rest is simple with a little research. And we’re here to help you on your journey every step of the way. This article is the first in this series looking to discover the real cost of eating right. Stay tuned for the next piece where we investigate the differences between organic and locally-grown foods and what those differences mean for shoppers, producers, our environment and the economy. Publisher’s note: Well FED received no compensation from any stores for the production of this article. But yes - we obviously, frequently, and unapollegtically show preference for Brighter Day, The Forsyth Farmers’ Market and Whole Foods. The purpose of this article was not necessarily to drive consumers to one particular store over the other though, but was an attempt and personal interest of ours to clearly see how they compared. Take away from this data what you will, but ultimately what we found was that no single place was much more expensive than the other - leaving it up to the consumer’s experience to be the judge.

Written by Jessica Lynn Curtis We’ve all heard the buzzwords surrounding our food today. Monsanto. Organic. GMO. Heirloom. Neonicotinoids. But it takes some homework to really understand what they mean, and to know where to turn for healthful choices. I had the pleasure this week of speaking with Savannahians who have been doing their homework for years, and who are here to educate and guide us on this tricky path. The Savannah Urban Garden Alliance (SUGA) was created in 2010 to provide access to local, healthy food, one garden at a time. Their mission is to cultivate a gardening movement in Savannah’s communities through outreach and education — by lending their support and expertise to local community gardens, helping to create and support new ones, and connecting those of us who want to get involved. And you don’t necessarily need a green thumb to lend a helping hand.
“If you’d like to help expand the urban garden community, all skills are needed. We need more than just dirt diggers to help our gardens grow,” explains Joanne Morton, a member of SUGA’s membership committee. The community is growing, and anyone who would like to learn more should check out one of SUGA’s monthly 3rd Saturday meet ups. June’s Meet Up will take place at the Thomas Square Edible Park (39th St. between Abercorn and Drayton) on Saturday, June 20 from 4-7 p.m. Next month’s will be July 18 at The Old Dairy Farm (2500 Tennessee Ave.). SUGA is currently seeking volunteers, including new members for the garden, campaign, and membership committees. Thomas Square Edible Park is one Savannah community garden success story. Albert Strickland is a board member of SUGA, and one of the founders of Occugardens, an outgrowth of Occupy Savannah.
“THE APPROACH WAS TO GET
THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED, AND WE’VE SUCCEEDED
“We realized that there are a lot of people without food, seniors like myself who had to depend on food banks and that sort of thing. We decided the one thing we needed to do then was focus on what we really need. Protesting is a great thing, but without some sort of positive action, it doesn’t really mean much,” Strickland told me. What eventually emerged was the Thompson Square Edible Park – not with the intention that the park itself would be able to feed everyone – but that the entire neighborhood would become the community garden, with the TSEP as an educational point, a learning point, a hands-on how to do it. Strickland wants to emphasize the park aspect of his community garden. They’re building a large deck where people can have their coffee in the mornings, where they can feature musicians, poetry, artists, and organic chefs to teach how to properly prepare food to garner the most nutritional value. He also wants to emphasize the importance of organics. “These are all 100% organic heirloom plants. There’s nothing here that isn’t extremely healthy for you. These tomatoes - they grow until they’re ripened. They need the sun to draw all the nutrients from the ground. If you go to, say, a Kroger, they were picked green, stored and shipped all over the country, and then gassed to make them turn red. You’re not getting any nutrition from that, and if it’s not organic, it was poisoned to start with. Whoever thought it was a good idea to grow food like this and put poison on it?” Strickland explained when people began mass producing thousands of acres of one particular crop, the crops were eaten by bugs. So, they developed pesticides, which killed not only the bugs, but also the plants. They began genetically modifying the plants so that they could withstand the poison — and then added more poison. “So, it’s so important to avoid all that. And when planting, be careful where you buy your plants. The big box garden stores and even most nurseries treat their plants with neonicotinoids, which kill the bees and butterflies, because it’s nicotine. You want to get something that hasn’t been treated with any pesticides or fungicides.”
Opposite/above: Members of the community came out to lend a hand at a recent volunteer workday. Occugardens gets all their plants from JP Cooper at Greenhouse Gardens in Port Wentworth – the only organic greenhouse they found in greater Savannah. “And we order seeds from seedsavers.org,” chimed in co-founder Frank Bessinger. “They’re all organic, heirloom variety seeds. I’ve found you really do need to shop online for the organic products. And they have good prices and selection.” “The approach was to get the community involved, and we’ve succeeded,” Strickland concluded. “People are beginning to come through and tell us what they’re doing in their own backyards.” He motioned around the neighborhood. “None of these houses can produce enough food to supply for themselves alone. But, she grows lettuce, he grows tomatoes, he grows cucumbers – community. You’ve got a salad. Working together. The same for this garden. When you connect it all together, a community can support itself. FOR MORE INFO ON THESE ORGANIZATIONS, GO TO SUGACENTRAL.ORG AND OCCUGARDENS.ORG. QUESTIONS WILL ALSO BE ANSWERED ON THE SAVANNAH URBAN GARDEN ALLIANCE FACEBOOK PAGE, AND OCCUGARDENS HAS REQUESTED YOU POST YOUR GARDEN PICTURES ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE, ALONG WITH ANY GARDENING QUESTIONS.

s the owners and operators of The Grateful Hound in Downtown Savannah, my wife Maggie and I spend a lot of time helping visitors discover the best dog friendly activities Savannah has to offer. With so much in the way of beautiful scenery, green spaces, dog parks and pet-friendly restaurants & bars,
Savannah is unquestionably a great place to hit the town with your best friend. That said, even the best and most enjoyable routines sometimes feel tired. When you need to change it up, I suggest throwing ol’ Rover in the car and taking a day trip to nearby beautiful Bluffton, South Carolina.
FROM LOCAL BBQ TO PASTA TO INDIAN CUISINE TO FRESH BREADS, THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
Bluffton Farmer’s Market Located 25 minutes from Downtown Savannah, Bluffton is an easy day trip that feels a world away from The Hostess City. Over the years, Bluffton has played second-fiddle to its larger neighbors Savannah and Hilton Head Island, though since 2000 the city has become a destination in its own right. From 2000 to 2010, Bluffton’s population grew a staggering 882%, making it the fastest-growing municipality in the state. Spurred by this grown, the city is home to a burgeoning locally-focused dining scene, two craft breweries and spectacular natural beauty, and is only 10 minutes from the pristine dog friendly beaches of Hilton Head. Bluffton has something for everyone.

Every Thursday from 2 to 6 pm during the warmer months, residents from Bluffton and surrounding areas descend on Calhoun Street for the Bluffton Farmer’s Market. A wide range of purveyors offer fresh, local produce as well as an assortment of prepared foods. From local BBQ to pasta to Indian cuisine to fresh breads, there is something for everyone. Enjoy the live music and sample some made-to-order chicken and scallion dumplings while relaxing with an adult beverage from the Old Town Dispensary (15 Captain’s Cove, behind The Cottage). Stick around for Dinner. Not quite ready to return home? Then dine at one of the Dispensary’s outdoor tables, or venture across the street to Vineyard 55 (55 Calhoun St.) and enjoy their covered porch. On Market Thursdays, “Vineyard” as it’s known, features live music in a festive atmosphere. I recommend pairing one of their tasty appetizers, sandwiches or pizza with a delicious craft beer by local brewing company Riverdog.

Writing & Photography by Brad Michael Great meals are about relationships. The balance of flavors, colors, textures. The pairing of the food with a perfect glass of wine. Atmosphere, service, presentation. Partnerships. So when General Manager Michael Lacy was looking for that special something to take the food at Cha Bella to the next level, he knew he’d need to find a solution that would work well with their existing philosophy: using only the freshest ingredients from lowcountry farms to serve up amazing New American cuisine with an Italian influence. Cha Bella already had a lot going for it: the best locally-sourced ingredients in town, a fantastic relaxed atmosphere, a great team in the back. But as things got busier and busier in the early part of 2015, Michael knew it was time to go on the offensive. To bring in a creative genius that could up the ante at what has historically been “Savannah’s local restaurant.” He was hungry to compete with the big money outside influences popping up at new kitchens all over town. Michael knew he wanted to find someone outside of the local Savannah food scene to breathe fresh life into their menu. And then he found Chef Larry 24

Searson. “It was like divine intervention,” Michael says, “and we are happy to say we now have the best chef in Savannah.” To characterize Searson as an outsider is a touch dishonest, however. He’s more like a favorite son, returning home after making a place for himself in the great big world out there. Chef Larry, as he’s affectionately referred to by the Cha Bella team, is no stranger to either locally-sourced food or the Savannah culinary circuit. Larry was raised on a farm just outside Sumter, South Carolina, and some of his earliest memories including cooking for family and friends in his grandmother’s home. He cut his culinary teeth on vegetables, chicken, and cattle from the backyard. Farm-to-table isn’t just a fad for Chef Larry, it’s his heritage. Searson got his professional start under the tutelage of local legend Elizabeth Terry, during a ten year stint in which he climbed the ranks in the kitchen of Elizabeth’s on 37th. Chef Larry still refers to Terry as his foundation. “She’s like this tablecloth,” he tells me, running his hands over the white linen in the dining room of Cha Bella. “She is woven into the
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A RESTAURANT THAT’S INVESTED IN THE LOCAL FARMERS’ MARKET
fabric of my being.” Searson was the Sous Chef when Terry won the James Beard Award in 1995, and it was then that he knew it was time to set out and make a name for himself, to claim his own crown. Now, nearly twenty years later, Chef Larry has been there and done it all. He’s won his own awards, worked with some of the biggest names in the business, trained many of the Savannah scene’s rising stars, and put his plates in front of a who’s-who of Hollywood royalty (just ask Robert De Niro, who stopped in at Cha Bella during a recent break in filming). But as his success grew, Searson found himself slipping from his roots. Big, corporate kitchens mean more money sure, but they also mean less of a personal touch. “As chefs,” Searson says, “we sometimes chase the money and forget about the passion.” After spending ten years in Atlanta, Chef Larry was ready to come home. His desire to get hands on with the food again, to work with a team that was as passionate about local ingredients as he was, and his love of the culture and natural beauty of Savannah, made Cha Bella a perfect fit. He left a brand new, six-million dollar kitchen and piles of money on the table to pursue this passion in the best possible place to make his dreams come true.
And it’s a match made in heaven. If you haven’t been to Cha Bella recently, you owe it to yourself to taste the changes coming out of Searson’s kitchen. The ingredients are as fresh as they’ve ever been, and GM Michael Lacy is working even harder to provide Chef Larry with the best the local farms have to offer. Frozen is a dirty word at Cha Bella. There is no freezer, no microwave. “Anything that comes in the door raw is cooked and gone in three days tops,” Searson tells me. A well-tended garden in the back ensures that your herbs (and many of the vegetables, too) will be picked right to your plate. The menu is a constant work-inprogress, not because it doesn’t work, but because it evolves with the ingredients, ensuring your meal will consist of ingredients at the peak of their ripeness. In city often known for deep-fried takes on the same old stale entrees, it’s a welcome breath of fresh air.

There have been big changes with more than just the food, too. They’ve renovated the building, brought in new floors and fixtures. Even the artwork is fresh and rotated seasonally. The intimate dining room is a fantastic place to spend a romantic evening with a loved one. Sunday brunches are superb, with an all-you-can-eat grits and omelet bar—wide variety of fresh seafood included—and shockingly affordable bottomless mimosas after 12:30. And if you’re looking for a magical place to enjoy cocktails and share plates on a warm summer night, you can beat the heat on their spacious patio, complete with rustic swings and a projector showing old-school black and white films. Forget dinner and a show; at Cha Bella, the food and drink is the show.
Summer is an exciting time for fresh local cuisine, and Cha Bella is absolutely taking full advantage. Look for upcoming events such as Tomato Fest in July, and Wine Down Wednesdays, featuring live music, great small plate specials, and heavy discount on great wines. There’s also a new Chef’s Table on the way too, where you can be personally served by Chef Larry, and get a first-hand look at the infusion of creativity he brings to the menu. Follow them on Facebook or visit their website at Cha-Bella.com to learn more. Cha Bella • 102 E. Broad St. • 912.790.7888 www.cha-bella.com
