BEST OF 2015
some of the most important moments in American
history. Thomas Edison was eating an East Bay cold
cut when he invented electricity. Our founding fathers
were chomping down on roast beef and turkey subs
when they signed the Declaration of Independence.
And voters marked down East Bay Deli when choosing
the best deli in Mount Pleasant.

Best Dessert
The best dessert I
ever saw starred in a
scene from the 90s
film“Varsity Blues.”
Aside from that
infamous whipped
cream, Page’s Okra
Grill offers up the
best dessert in East
Cooper.

Best FrieD ChiCken
There are two ways to find yourself having the South-
ern delicacy of fried chicken as your next meal. Either
find a live chicken, cut off its head, defeather it, skin it
and cook it in a vat of grease – or just go to Publix and
buy one like the rest of our readers.

Best Frozen yogurt
I once lost a $5 bet to my 15-year-old writing tutee,
and I had a feeling he would spend his winnings on
frozen yogurt. (I later found out he didn’t, but it was a
good guess.) Our readers love TCBY for quelling their
own frozen yogurt cravings, and, unlike placing bets,
it’s a safer pastime.

Best happy hour
All day long you’re maneuvering decimal points,
photocopying your boss’ memos and listening to the
screechy-voiced secretary blab to her sister about
the season finale of “Gossip Girl.”You deserve to head
on down to Water’s Edge on Shem Creek, where the
beer is always cold and the sounds of happy hour are
sure to make you forget about the last eight hours of
work misery.

Best hot Dog
There is truly no better way to put a new romance to
the test than to ask your significant other to choose
her favorite place to eat. Fellas, if she picks a hot dog
joint, more specifically Jack’s Cosmic Dogs, and or-
ders you up two large dogs with all the fixins, you can
be certain that there are wedding bells in your near
future. The dogs are just that good.

Best iCe Cream
Ice cream is synonymous with the whimsy of yes-
teryear, and, when we’re feeling worn down by the
modern world, we visit Ye Ole Fashioned , along with
the rest of our readers. The name says it all.
