Quick Bites

Restaurants and bars are gearing up for the holidays, so for now all's quiet on the Upstate culinary front.

RJ Rockers open Tap Room in downtown Spartanburg
When it comes to breweries our liberal neighbor to the north clearly has us beat, at least in terms of numbers. But Asheville was recognized earlier this year as Beer City USA by Examiner.com—who can keep up? The Upstate still represents respectably when it comes to local breweries, and Spartanburg-based RJ Rockers is stirring up some exci...

Fill up on international treats at Clemson's World Bazaar

When I was in college, I had a roommate whose parents were from India. Needless to say, I was always psyched when she'd go home for break because it meant she'd be coming back to the dorms with halwa, a thick pudding that puts your run-of-the-mill Jell-O pudding to shame. I'm hoping for some halwa—along with other tasty sweet treats—...
