Limehouse Produce Announces 2015 Citrus Celebration Dish and Drink Winners 2.27.15

Charleston’s best bars and restaurants have been promoting sweet and savory citrus offerings for the last two months, as part of Limehouse Produce’s 2015 Citrus Celebration. Limehouse Produce shared these featured dishes and drinks on their website along with recipes for people to download and try on their own. Patrons were invited to vote for their favorite dish and drink online until February 22. A panel of judges then visited the top five places from each category and select a winner as well.

“This year’s Citrus Celebration was even better than the last,” stated Weston Fennell, lead buyer for Limehouse Produce, as well as a Citrus Celebration judge. “The competition was tough because all of the dishes and drinks that were judged were delicious and creative.”

The votes from online and live judges have been compiled and a winner for the Best Citrus Dish and Best Citrus Drink have been chosen!

Best Dish:

• Bryan Cates of Basico: Citrus, Radish, Pistachio and Amberjack Crudo

Best Drink:

• Jayce McConnell of Edmund’s Oast: The Anejo Age

The winner in each category will be promoted on the website and social media and will receive a ½ page ad in The Local Palate to showcase their dish/drink.
