Hello Friday.
April 19 2024
Whale, whale, whale...it looks like Greenville has a new seafood spot comin’ in hot. 🦞
Nothin’ fishy about this set up | Image provided, rendering by Project Plus+
Mr. Crisp will be a casual seafood full-service restaurant focused on fish + chips with a full raw bar. Chef Greg McPhee of The Anchorage is opening the new restaurant and it will be opening in Overbrook Village in early 2022. Chef de cuisine at The Anchorage, Alex Morgan, will be behind the kitchen team at the new digs.

In addition to fish + chips, Mr. Crisp will also offer sandwiches and other non-seafood items, plus gluten-free and vegetarian options. Similar to The Anchorage, this new spot will continue to highlight local ingredients, but the vibe promises to be more laid-back than The Anchorage.

We can’t wait to sea the new space for ourselves. And don’t worry, all of the seafood puns were on-porpoise.

A glimpse inside Endeavor, located in ONE City Plaza | Photo provided
Meet John, a Salesforce solution architect who was born and raised in Milwaukee and couldn’t stand another winter. Between Covid and a fully remote job, he had an opportunity to make a big change.
His first instinct was to head west, but then he remembered a former coworker who had moved to a growing city in SC and was always raving about it. He came to visit this so-called oasis and decided it was the perfect size + environment for him. After packing everything he owned in his hatchback, John drove the 13 hours to his new apartment in downtown Greenville.

In his words: “I walk to work every day (to my desk at Endeavor, right in ONE City Plaza) and I love to just walk around and explore. Over half my team has moved since the pandemic: many to Florida, one to North Carolina, a lot to the Southeast.” Ⓟ

Ever see a turtle with 2 heads? Take a look at this 2-headed sea turtle hatchling discovered at Edisto Beach State Park.
It’s likely that the unique hatchling is the result of a genetic mutation. Don’t worry, after a few photos were taken, the little double-headed reptile was released back into the ocean.
