Chef and owner Robert Stehling was named a James Beard Foundation award winner, taking the honor for best chef in the Southeast, representing the Carolinas, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. 'It's a fantasy come true,' Stehling said.

Used a cobra snake for a neck tie.
Got a brand new house on the roadside,

An apparent American crocodile, at least a six-footer, was pulled from the beach surf Thursday after eluding trappers for weeks in a Mount Pleasant pond.
