We’ve been on the hunt for Savannah’s best cornbread for 14 years, and by golly, we’ve just found it! If you haven’t visited Geneva’s at 2812 Bee Road, you sure are missing out. Not only is the cornbread out of this world, the greens, mac-n-cheese, and other fixins’ are pretty darn tasty too. Lastly, don’t forget to get a taste of her made-to-order fried chicken, it won’t disappoint.

Summertime Picnic Sandwich
When summer fruits are at their sweetest, peaches make a worthy substitution for the strawberries in this recipe.
Serves 4
Chop 4 of the strawberries and slice the remaining 4. In a large bowl, mash chopped strawberries with a fork. Add Neufchâtel, mint, zest, salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Spread strawberry mixture evenly between slices of bread then arrange cucumbers, sliced berries and watercress over half of the slices. Top with remaining slices to form sandwiches then halve each and serve. Enjoy!

Eat Healthy and Save Money!
The Market at Trustees Garden, now open Wednesdays from 4 to 7 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm, provides wonderful produce and dairy products brought in by local growers. It’s healthier and tastier than anything that’s sitting in the supermarket or worse, sitting in a delivery truck, and it’s much more affordable since you’re not paying for trucking fees, middle-men and what have you. Not only good food there, but live music, arts & crafts, health and wellness info and cooking demonstrations! Go, have fun, and eat well! You’ll find everything from locally laid eggs and local cheeses, to arugula, red and green peppers, sprouts, Swiss chard, onions, Buttercrunch lettuce (our favorite), tomatoes, strawberries and more.
Georgia Caviar
We got an excited phone call at SavannahBest this morning from a woman who’d spotted “Georgia Caviar” on the menu of a restaurant we’ve mentioned. She wanted to know where she could find some, what kind of fish it came from, etc. So, for all you folks who are relatively new to these Southern states, Georgia Caviar is a dip made from black eyed peas, chopped jalapenos, and a variety of spicey spices. Sad to say, it’s not the eggs of some exotic fish swimming about in Southern waters. Wish it were!
The Shad are here!
As far as us fish-loving foodies at SavannahBest.com are concerned, Shad are the best fish in the world, from salt water or fresh! And here in Savannah, we are soooo lucky to have them, and to have that rare commodity, Russo’s Seafood Store, where they know how to perfectly filet these tricky guys with a zillion tiny bones! For more on Shad and an easy recipe for an elegant Valentine’s Day Breakfast or brunch or one for an equally easy dinner entree, just go to SavannahBest’s Cooking Page.
