FOLKSTON, Ga., Nov. 7, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — SwampFire Backwoods Bistro™, south Georgia\u2019s sizzling new culinary experience, announces its ribbon cutting and opens its doors for the finest in regional dining on Friday, Nov. 15.<\/p>\n
\nSwampFire Backwoods Bistro™ is on the grounds of Newell Lodge and Resort at the Okefenokee Swamp, 661 Ozzie Rowell Road (formerly Firehouse Road).<\/p>\n
The bistro offers an intimate, rustic setting with an elegant ambiance, with seating framed by views of the 300-year-old oak grove for which the lodge is known.<\/p>\n
\u201cSwampFire is a natural phenomenon in this region, talked about by old swampers in lore and legend,\u201d says Kay Carter, proprietor. \u201cWe felt the name conveyed the sizzle that fine, casual dining should have when describing the best fare our region has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following a 5:15 p.m. ribbon cutting ceremony, the SwampFire Backwoods Bistro™ will welcome diners beginning at 5:30 p.m. Then, the restaurant will serve a freshly prepared \u201csteak and shrimp\u201d menu every Friday and Saturday night weekly from 5:30-9 p.m.<\/p>\n
Reservations are recommended. Seating is limited.<\/p>\n
The SwampFire Backwoods Bistro menu is distinguished by its singular emphasis on locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients, Carter family recipes, and an array of homemade desserts.<\/p>\n
These delicacies provide the foil for a mouth-watering steak and shrimp culinary masterpiece prepared differently each week. Opening weekend choices include Horsestamp She-crab poppers, grilled steaks, shrimp cocktail, and home-made Coca-Cola™ Cake, with complementary sides and options.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe consciously chose to preference quality and freshness over sameness,\u201d says Carter. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for box store fare, you won\u2019t find it here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The shrimp is so fresh, guests will want to slap their faces, the website boasts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe our diners will appreciate our efforts to source quality ingredients, including Newell Lodge Reserve™ cuts of 100% Angus beef, as well as fresh south Atlantic shrimp and seafood purchased from regional boats,\u201d Carter says.<\/p>\n
Diners will appreciate the addition of Chef Rhnea to the SwampFire Backwoods Bistro kitchen. Formerly a chef\u2019s assistant at White Oak Plantation where she served an array of celebrities – including an American president – Chef Rhnea elevates regional cuisine to a one-of-a-kind dining experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel inspired to create and serve dishes here you won\u2019t find anywhere else,\u201d says Carter.<\/p>\n
