The two sisters

The oldest, B, and her husband recently made the move out West from the Carolinas. They are getting accustomed to life in the country and becoming a student once again for the mister. The youngest, A, and her husband made a short move within the Carolinas for the mister to once again, become a student.

When we both found ourselves in similar situations - moving and the misters going back to school - but far apart from one another, we thought a blog would be a great way to still do something together and for family and friends to keep up with us. Follow us as we share our love for cooking, the great outdoors, and home.

BIN112

The big test was taken in Greenville yesterday. After the phenomenal performance, Wes' parents took us out to dinner to celebrate. We tried a new place in Greer called BIN112.

(Of course I didn't think to take pictures so the picture is from their website.)

The atmosphere was just what we were looking for. It was a nice dinner with a semi casual atmosphere. The coolest thing about this place is that mostly all of the food on the menu is offered in appetizer or entrée portion, and Wednesday is 25% off bottles of wine night. All of the food we tried was delicious. We can't think of any place similar to the variety and quality of BIN112. A bonus point in my book is bread without having to ask for it. Shortly after we sat down, they brought us warm bread and delicious chips (you know the thin and crispy potatoes but I refuse to call them potato chips) which had a kick to them.

Here is a rundown of the food we ordered from their menu:

Flaming Kasseri: You can never go wrong with cheese and something fried. It was delicious and one appetizer portion was enough for the four of us as we spread it on our bread.

Candy of the Sea: I didn't try it because I'm not a scallop person but the reviews were great.

Duck, Duck, Not a Goose: If you like duck, go for it. It was good and Wes thought it was great.

Smoky Mountain Beef Tenderloin: Delicious! Yes, this was what I picked and I must say I made a fine choice. I went with the appetizer portion and it was just enough meat for me. It came with asparagus and mashed sweet potatoes. The mashed sweet potatoes were unbelievable. Actually, the whole dish was.

Black n' Blue: I didn't sneak a taste but was told it was delicious as well.

S'mores! We had a little campfire on the table for dessert. It was fun and yummy. What a great idea.

The next time you find yourself in the Upstate, go to BIN112. You will not be disappointed.

  1. That's one of my favorites! Next time you go try the Chicken a la ... Hmm? or Porky's Return, both are awesome and the Flourless Chocolate Cake is pretty amazing in itself.
