Food Dude’s Last Supper in Myrtle Beach Before the Apocalypse

Forget what the Mayan calendar says about the end of time. The Myrtle calendar says it's time to dine.

Food Dude’s Favorite Soups from Myrtle Beach Restaurants

Soup is not exactly what the Food Dude considers a meal. When I'm hungry, a cup of soup is just enough to make me mad. But on a chilly day as a warm-up for a "real meal," there's nothing like a hot and hearty bowl to nourish the soul, especially some of the soups you can find on Grand Strand menus.
