  • Savannah's Romano's Grill? Hope you aren't in a hurry

    Savannah's Romano's Grill? Hope you aren't in a hurry
    Oct 5 2026
    In 16 years of Eat It and Like It, I can count on one hand the times I’ve warned you about a restaurant. This week is one of them. A brand-new Italian spot in central Savannah called Romano’s Grill. A Sunday pizza pickup, and a front-row seat to something I wasn’t the only one noticing. It wasn’t a disaster, and the pizza was decent. But when a pattern shows up in the first few weeks, you’ll want to hear about it before you plan your evening around it. This is less a review than a beware.

    Brunch at Husk: One of Savannah’s Most Overlooked Meals
    Oct 12 2026
    Savannah’s brunch scene has come a long way in 16 years, but Husk rarely gets mentioned in the conversation. Jesse takes in the new fall brunch menu at 12 West Oglethorpe: Tybee salt bomb oysters with country ham and cornbread butter, a Cheerwine pancake, pimento cheese grits, and a burger that holds up against any in town. He also covers the one miss, a watery espresso martini, and the Georgia Sunday mimosa rule you need to know before you go.

    Eat It: Florida Amelia Island's Dining Month: September
    Aug 21 2026
    Everyone assumes a food promotion like this means fixed-price, three-course fine dining. Turns out Amelia Island’s Dining Month is nothing like that, and Jesse gets the full breakdown from Madison Jozsa, Director of PR and Social for the Amelia Island CVB. Now in its third year with 23 participating restaurants, the format gives each spot the freedom to do whatever showcases them best, which means the lineup ranges from flip-flop-casual beach bites to five-star tasting menus. Madison also gets into why fall might actually be the smartest time to visit Amelia Island, the charitable angle built into every menu, and what’s […]
