South Carolina Welcomes Locally Sourced Butcher Shop

By Debbie Nance September 1st

This summer involved even more Myrtle Beach trips than usual for us.  And, during the many visits, we kept driving past this one spot with a “coming soon” sign.  We wondered when that time might come and what this new place was all about.  Well, thanks to My Horry News, we now know that this area of South Carolina welcomes a locally sourced butcher shop called “The Salty Butcher.”

The original sign out front indicated they planned a Summer 2023 opening for The Salty Butcher.  However, owners now say they hope for soft opening September 26 and a grand opening on September 30.  The folks behind the locally sourced butcher shop have previous food industry experience.  And, they embrace the “farm to table” concept.

Shoppers at the N. Kings Highway location of The Salty Butcher can look forward to items including wagyu, certified angus prime beef, burgers, sausage, pork, crab cakes and more.  Plus there’s even going to be items marinated and ready to pop on the grill.  And, the nice part is items are coming from North and South Carolina sources.  Also, they’ll have wines, craft beers and local specialty products.

Plus, another enticing feature is something the Salty Butcher calls the “meat club.”  It’s basically a subscription type service that allows customers to try new items monthly.  For more information on the Salty Butcher owners and concept, see the full story on My Horry News.  And, check out their website and social pages for updates and info, too.

America's Top 5 Beach Boardwalks Include One In South Carolina

According to the calendar, summer is winding down, although it doesn’t feel like it outside. Even if your kids are headed back to school, there’s still plenty of warm weather to enjoy at the beach. One of the great things about living in the Charlotte area is that it’s easy to jump in the car for a weekend getaway along the Carolina coastline. One of my family’s favorites things to do at beaches is visiting the boardwalks.

I grew up with beach boardwalks in New York and New Jersey. It was the same for my wife, who spent many of her childhood summers in Ocean City, New Jersey. In fact, we were there again this summer and it was exactly the same as we both remember. Nothing beats a boardwalk for a healthy dose of nostalgia from one’s youth.

Beach towns with boardwalks offer the perfect balance of sun, surf, sand, sugar, and salt. Oh, and silliness. Lots and lots of silliness. When you need a break from the beach, you can find all sorts of other ways to amuse yourself on the boardwalk, from putt-putt to Ferris wheels to skeeball to roller coasters. You can also just take a leisurely stroll or hop on your beach cruiser.

Study Finds has ranked America’s Top 5 Boardwalks. I mentioned my family’s fondness for the boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey. While it’s certainly deserving of high honors, if only for the pizza and crab fries, another Ocean City actually landed on this list. So did one beloved boardwalk in South Carolina.

  • 5. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

    Built in 2010, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade has been dubbed “America’s Boardwalk.” Highlights include a 1.2 mile walkway with terrific dining options, the 187-foot-tall Myrtle Beach SkyWheel, and weekly fireworks shows.

    The half-mile-long Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk dates back to 1907. The 1911 Looff Carousel and 1924 Giant Dipper roller coaster are National Historic Landmarks. Visitors can get a bird’s eye view of all the fun from the Sky Glider.

  • 3. Virginia Beach, Virginia

    Originally built as a wooden walkway in 1888, the Virginia Beach Boardwalk has been rebuilt several times. It is now a 28 ft-wide, three-mile-long concrete boardwalk, which is ideal for walkers, jogger, and bikers. The designated paths keep them all from running into one another. Visitors will enjoy the dozens of restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as taking selfies with the giant statue of King Neptune.

  • 2. Ocean City, Maryland

    What started out as a removable wooden walkway in 1902 was completely rebuilt following a storm in 1962. The Herschel-Spellman carousel also dates back to 1902. According to Fodor’s, it’s America’s “oldest continuously operating carousel with two tiers of elaborately carved and painted animals.” And when in Maryland, you have to try the crab cakes.
