Hello Gardeners, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Recently, Governor Nikki Haley, the South Carolina Department of Parks Recreations and Tourism and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture announced the 2016 Chef Ambassadors representatives for our state. These four individuals prepare the wide array of foods, from chicken wings to peanut encrusted sword fish. These Chef Ambassadors blend panache, verve, and their connections to local producers of vegetables, fruits and animals products to bring tasty and tempting food to their community. Last year, the winners were working their kitchen magic in rural parts of the state. This year, the Chefs are from more urban places but their commitment to locally-sourced ingredients remains the same.
