Podcasts about Cumberland Island

About The Fabled Earth Sometimes the truth is found in a folktale. An evening of revelry and storytelling goes horribly awry when temptations arise and passions flare. Those who survive are haunted by memories and regrets in this southern gothic tale told across dual timelines. 1932. Cumberland Island off the coast of Southern Georgia is a strange place to encounter the opulence of the Gilded Age, but the last vestiges of the famed philanthropic Carnegie family still take up brief seasonal residence in their grand mansions there. This year's party at Plum Orchard is a lively group: young men from some of America's finest families who come to experience the area's hunting beside a local guide, a beautiful debutante expecting to be engaged by the week's end, and a promising female artist who believes she has meaningful ties to her wealthy hosts. But when temptations arise and passions flare, an evening of revelry and storytelling goes horribly awry. Lives are both lost and ruined. 1959. Reclusive painter Cleo Woodbine has lived alone for decades on Kingdom Come, a tiny strip of land once occupied by the servants for the great houses on nearby Cumberland. When she is visited by the man who saved her life nearly thirty years earlier, a tempest is unleashed as the stories of the past gather and begin to regain their strength. Frances Flood is a folklorist come to Cumberland Island seeking the source of a legend--and also information about her mother, who was among the guests at a long-ago hunting party. Audrey Howell, briefly a newlywed and now newly widowed, is running a local inn. When she develops an eerie double exposure photograph, some believe she's raised a ghost--someone who hasn't been seen since that fateful night in 1932. Southern mythology and personal reckoning collide in this sweeping story inspired by the little-known history of Cumberland Island when a once-in-a-century storm threatens the natural landscape. Faced with a changing world, two timelines and the perspectives of three women intersect where a folktale meets the truth to reveal what Cumberland Island has hidden all along Purchase now from Bookshop.org  https://bookshop.org/a/10588/9781400234226   Purchase now from Amazon https://amzn.to/421w2AO   About Kimberly Brock Kimberly Brock is the award-winning author of The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare and The River Witch.

Season 3 Part 15 of the Travels With Randy podcast is here! The Carolina Coast. After last week's fun Atlanta Braves adventure, Randy then drove back out to the coast and spent the week making his way north up the coast of Georgia into South Carolina and up the SC coast and finally arrived in Wilmington, NC to set up camp for the next week. Early in the week Randy visited Cumberland Island to see the wild horses and the ruins of a giant Carnegie mansion that was over 100 years old.  He then headed up to Savannah and toured the city and headed out to Tybee Island for a visit.  From there it was a sprint up to Myrtle Beach and then into North Carolina to Southport.   Snuffy then got to ride on a ferry over to Fort Fischer as Randy visited the aquarium there (Sharks! Seahorses!), then landed up in Wilmington.   Next up:  The Outer Banks.

Hello and welcome to my recap of day four on Cumberland Island. It was another fun and informative day on the island, exploring, as well as getting a guided tour of some of the trees that make up the island. My wife and I are both excited to have our daughter and son-in-law joining us today for the remainder of our time camping. They are also bringing a couple friend of theirs with their tso 3-year-old twins. Should be interesting!   I also discuss the latest development in the Big, Fani Willis Rico case in Fulton county, Georgia, where judge Scott McAfee just declared that a set of charges for six defendants need to be kicked out because they are too vague and too wide-reaching for them to be able to mount an adequate defense. I'm curious to know if he's going through the motions in order and choosing to now deal with the motion to disqualify or if this was just the easier of the motions to deal with first? We will have to wait and see how this story continues to unfold.   Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Happy Friday everyone! Today is day five recollection on Cumberland Island. I will still be here a couple more days, but I only drop my show weekdays so this will be it until Monday. I'll still try to upload pictures every morning.   Today I spend time talking about my day on the island as well as technology and the nostalgic trip of being an Atari 2600 owner all the way through to holding one of the most powerful computers ever devised by man in the palm of my own hand.   As I wrap up the show, I do discuss the judge in the Big Fani Willis evidentiary hearing making his decision today as to whether or not he will disqualify both her and Nathan Wade.   Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

On today's show, I open with some of the adversity I had to deal with on the island. Sometimes life throws curveballs at you and you need to learn how to deal with it. This lead me to discuss an essay I wrote over 13 years ago on the problems of sparing children from adversity. After spending some time on a more philosophical level, I do get into two specific news items — the J6 Subcommittee‘s interim report and the testimony from Special Counsel Robert Hur.   in closing, I remind you of what I believe is the purpose behind the Hur report. It's not about charging Joe Biden and taking him to court. It's about informing the electorate of why he does not deserve another four years.   Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Today's musing recount part of the journey to get to Cumberland Island and day one activities. But, I am also trying to stay on top of the news and I'm appalled that my prediction from Friday came true only two days later. I cannot believe that the Democrat party has decided to make Joe Biden apologize for accurately, calling someone who broke multiple laws an illegal. 

Continuing to update you while on Cumberland Island, I have been able to stay on top of some of the news, including the revelations of the new J6 investigative committee. There is now hard evidence proving that representative Benny Thompson, and representative Liz Cheney hid exculpatory and exonerating evidence when they conducted their investigation. Also, I find it interesting that special council Robert her decided to quit the department of Justice and is already set to testify in front of the house oversight committee.

Horses can be found in many corners of the National Park System. You spot them running wild at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, splashing in the surf at Cape Lookout National Seashore in North Carolina and at Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland and Virginia, and of course as pack animals and tireless steeds that carry both rangers and visitors to the parks.   But wild horses are somewhat of a conundrum in the National Park System. They're a conundrum because they technically are not wild, but rather feral, meaning they descended from domesticated horses. As such, they technically are not native wildlife, and that has become an issue.    At Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the National Park Service has raised the question of whether the horses there, as livestock, not native wildlife, should be removed from the park. A recent comment period on that proposal drew more than 7,000 comments, just 45 of which supported removal of the horses.   Where the Park Service will come down on horses at Theodore Roosevelt remains to be seen.   Across the country, at Cumberland Island National Seashore along the coast of Georgia, there also are feral horses, and their plight has surfaced in the form of a lawsuit that claims that animals not only are damaging the seashore's environment and two federally protected species but are not being humanely managed by the National Park Service and should be removed from the seashore.   We're going to explore that issue today with Hal Wright, who brought the lawsuit, Patty Livingston, president of both the Georgia Equine Rescue League and the Georgia Horse Council, and Jessica Howell-Edwards, executive director of Wild Cumberland, an advocacy group for the seashore. 

Bill DeLaney author of "Secret Jacksonville: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure" is also co-owner and editor of "The JaxonMag", "Modern Cities" and "Edible Northeast Florida". Bill is a Jacksonville native and has a "deep passion for his hometown and a keen interest in underrepresented stories. From folklore to history and everything in between". "Secret Jacksonville: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure" is dedicated to telling the stories behind forgotten, mysterious and just plain interesting spots across Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach, and the surrounding communities. It features 84 unusual stories and sites in the region. The book covers interesting stories and places from Cumberland Island to Marine Land, covering various neighborhoods. The places featured in the book are not usually found in Chamber of Commerce brochures, and the book is a good guide for tourists and locals looking to explore the region. For those who aren't familiar with The JaxonMag, it's a hyperlocal platform that takes a street-view look at Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. The JaxonMag continues Modern Cities' focus on urbanism, providing a platform for community members to share their stories and perspectives on the city they call home. We'll talked about Bill's role in this project, and how it has helped to shape his views on the importance of community engagement and storytelling. Tracy and Bill discuss the community of historians in Jacksonville, Florida. Bill highlights the work of historians and researchers, such as Dr. Wayne Wood, Gary Sass, and Tim Gilmore, and mentions that there are many more talented writers doing incredible work. They also talk about the future of urbanism in Northeast Florida and how the region needs to do smarter planning and make intentional decisions to shape the direction of growth. Bill mentions the importance of infill and densifying areas that have declined or lost population to create a more attractive and intentional community. Bill also reveals that he is in talks with his publisher for new book ideas. Bill sees the decline as an opportunity for growth because of the existing infrastructure. Tracy notes that the downtown area of the riverfront is exploring plans for housing development, but the challenge is to make the housing affordable for the general population. Bill emphasizes the need for affordable housing and suggests building workforce housing and using federal loans and grants, such as the state Sadowski fund. However, he points out that the city has turned down many federal funding opportunities. They also discuss the need to reconnect neighborhoods disrupted by highways and the importance of pursuing grants and programs that the state or federal government can offer to help the city. They discuss the potential of the downtown area to become more vibrant with more retail options, eateries, and entertainment venues, similar to other cities like Charlotte and Greenville.

GGC   Georgia Gwinnett College held its Inaugural African American Male Initiative Summit to increase retention and graduation rates among African American males, who have historically faced challenges. The summit, sponsored by GGC's AAMI-Elite Scholars program, provided a forum for the students to share experiences and discuss positive solutions. Workshops and breakout sessions focused on various topics, including wellness and emotional intelligence, aligned with AAMI's mission to provide an integrated program model of academic, leadership, and life skills. AAMI has impacted GGC students as 91% of participants who started the program in fall 2021 returned in fall 2022.   STORY 2: Stroke   May is National Stroke Awareness Month, and it's important to understand the signs and risk factors for stroke.

One of the most picturesque places in Georgia is the beautiful preserve of Cumberland Island. From the beautiful white sandy beaches to the oak-lined pathways there is so much to make it feel tranquil. However, the mysterious situations around people who try and develop this peaceful island make it seem not so welcoming for long-term stays. Join us as we discuss the Curiosities of Cumberland Island.

This week Clint and Dawson talk with Skyler Baker. Skyler was born and raised on Signal Mountain Tennessee and since he was a child he was immersed in the outdoor community and music scene of the Chattanooga area. Every spring and fall his family camped in a pop up trailer in the surrounding state parks. As a teenager that developed into hiking with friends and doing short overnight trips around Walden's Ridge. His senior project included work with the Cumberland Trail Conference before setting off for the college of engineering at UT Knoxville. In his second year at UT he went on a whim of a day hike in the Smokies which sparked a love. In my third year he was invited to spend spring break backpacking on Cumberland Island, his first multiple night trip. While working a summer internship in Chattanooga he began to trail run every day after work. Once he graduated that became his hobby and it further developed in the Smokies. His approach to travel also changed as he took trips to South Africa, the Alps, Canada, and Alaska. After running a few ultra marathons he ticked off new trails in the Smokies one by one, eventually completing all of them in July 2020. Following the Smokies 900 he looked for new goals including the SCAR, R2R2R, the Art Loeb Trail, and he even got into gravel biking. Nothing was filling the void so he set his sights on the Pacific Crest Trail in April 2021. After completing the trail he spent a month seeing the National Parks before returning to Tennessee. Skyler shares his PCT experience with us and a few other stories from his adventures. Thanks for listening! Find all our episodes at dayfirepodcast.com This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

This week Clint and Dawson talk with Jessica Howell-Edwards. Jessica is the Program Director for Wild Cumberland. They are dedicated to protecting the wilderness, native species, and the ecology of Cumberland Island. The complex history of Cumberland Island requires public oversight and stewardship; their purpose is to help educate the public and hold decision-makers accountable. Wild Cumberland supporters work together to ensure the long-term stewardship and preservation of Cumberland Island and its natural ecosystem. Jessica is a lifelong Georgia resident and mom of four who currently resides in DeKalb County. She offers more than two decades of journalism, marketing, and activism experience – and most importantly, a passion for protecting the native ecology of Cumberland Island. Jessica writes: "Wilderness experience can transform you, and I firmly believe that those who seek that experience will find it. More than 25 years ago, I was fortunate to have my first wilderness experience on Cumberland Island; because of that, I am committed to ensuring my children and future grandchildren have the same opportunity. I have always been completely captivated by (and drawn to) the Georgia coast: an underappreciated tapestry of rivers, streams, swamps, estuaries, and islands. In that constant state of flux, teeming with life, is where I feel most at peace." Thanks for listening! Find all our episodes at dayfirepodcast.com This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

In this episode, hosts Alan and Susan spend time recapping her 4-day backpacking and camping trip on Cumberland Island. Alan takes on the role of interviewer for the first half of the podcast. Susan starts with a story of finding a closer site at the last minute, just by checking online. The first day started with the ferry ride through the fog to even get to the Island. Once there, they setup camp and began to explore for the rest of the day. Susan had to admit her disdain for buying a pair of Crocks went away after that first day of walking 12 miles. Susan then recounted each day's adventures with her friend, Deb, and Deb's daughter, Lauren. They lost track of the number of birds, but saw well over 50 wild horses over their 4-day stay. Susan also talks about being fascinated by watching armadillos and having a raccoon visit their campsite. They also saw a mama dolphin and her baby swimming along the coast. They walked over 20 miles the next day and then biked over 30 miles on their last full day. That's why being fit and staying is shape is so important in being able to cross off those bucket list items. After recapping the trip, the discussion moved into couples learning how to be selfless. This doesn't mean being okay with always being apart. Rather, it's important to know when your spouse has a passion and when you do not. That is healthy. What is not healthy is to try to dominate your partner over everything. Even Alan, when Susan asked him, thought it would be worth a try to go to Cumberland Island sometime. The episode ends with a fitness challenge for Alan to make sure he is walking more, in preparation for future camping trips. He agreed it was something he could do more and is happy to do it.

Cumberland Island is one of Georgia’s most biologically diverse barrier islands, with its maritime forests, coastal beaches, and salt marshes providing a habitat for many endangered kin, in addition to being a resting point along the transatlantic migratory flyway. This wild place has been fervently loved and protected over the past couple of decades by biologist, naturalist, environmental activist, and full-time resident of the island, Carol Ruckdeschel. This week on the program we speak to Carol about the importance of places like Cumberland Island, some of the most pressing threats Cumberland currently faces, and the dangerous precedent that will be set if we continue to allow private-interest to chip away and fragment the very little bit of wilderness that is currently protected. Music by Eliza Edens, Kesia Nagata, Lauren Alegre, and I Goodfriend. Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.

This week, hear the second part of our mini-series about couples who farm together. As Matthew looked for opportunities to discuss balancing hard work and affection, he knew Monica Ponce and Russell Honderd would have a lot to say, given that they have farmed together on the isolated Cumberland Island. Monica shares how they met and why she was surprised to end up with a fellow farmer, and Russell explains how they have come to divide their chores and responsibilities. They also talk about the job’s biggest rewards and share their plans for building a worker cooperative at Love is Love Farm.Photo Courtesy of Tyleen SnowdenHeritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

It's a New Year and a new season of Parklandia! To kick it off, we're doing our first episode on a National Seashore, Cumberland Island off of Georgia's southwestern coast.

While there's concern that one day Joshua trees might no longer grow in Joshua Tree National Park, or that Glacier National Park might lose its rivers of ice, what about Saguaro National Park and its iconic cacti? Kurt Repanshek travels to Saguaro National Park to discuss the decadal survey of saguaros with park biologist Don Swann. Erika Zambello heads to coastal Georgia for an off-season visit to Cumberland Island National Seashore.

Whitney Otawka, whom some listeners might remember from her stint on Top Chef, just released a new cookbook, The Saltwater Table, based on her exploration and interpretation of the terroir of Georgia's Cumberland Island. It's a fascinating read, and Whitney's story--she grew up as a wannabe archeologist in Southern California, discovered cooking in a first job in a two-person kitchen in Berkeley, and flowered as a chef after moving to Athens, Georgia--is compelling, to say the least.In our second interview, Andrew visits with husband-and-wife chef-restaurateurs Laura and Sayat Ozyilmaz of San Francisco's hit restaurant Noosh. They share the story of how they met and how their stories and sensibilities--one's a lifelong cook, the other a career-changer--complement one another, and how Noosh came to be.Visit the official Andrew Talks to Chefs website to explore past episodes, join our mailing list, leave a voicemail or comment, and keep up with Andrew's blog.Here's a thought: If you like what you hear, please tell your chef-fascinated friends, subscribe to Andrew Talks to Chefs (it's free) on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher, follow us on your favorite social media platforms @ChefPodcast, and/or rate or review us on Apple's Podcast store.

The Saltwater Table: Recipes from the Coastal SouthBy Whitney Otawka Intro: Welcome to the #1 cookbook podcast Cookery By The Book with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table talking to cookbook authors.Whitney Otawka: My name is Whitney Otawka and my most recent cookbook is The Saltwater Table, Recipes from the Coastal South.Suzy Chase: There's nothing I love more than a cookbook that inspires me to visit a destination, and this is one of those cookbooks. I am dying to hear about the story of Cumberland Island, Georgia and why you up and moved there in 2005.Whitney Otawka: Okay, so I didn't move to Cumberland in 2005, I actually moved... Well, I moved to Georgia in 2005, and so I actually moved to Georgia with an ex-boyfriend. I was living in California, and when I got to Georgia, it was sort of love at first sight with the food. I instantly fell in love with the culture of food, the history of the food here, and sort of part of my natural exploration of place beyond cuisine was also visiting... This is how I get to know a place. Anyways, I was visiting a lot of the state parks. I came across Cumberland Island, actually on a PBS series on the national seashore here. I was living in Athens, Georgia at the time. I was so curious about it, so I traveled to the island, stayed a night at Greyfield Inn and just fell in love with it.Whitney Otawka: It's very remote, very removed, very unique. As my culinary career evolved in Georgia, I kept going back to this island, this place that mesmerized me early on in my discoveries in the South. At the point in which I was ready to become an executive chef, I just couldn't get this place out of my mind, so I wrote the owners a letter. I really saw this place as a unique culinary destination. I saw something that could be built here. I wrote them a letter and I came down. I cooked a dinner and they hired me as their executive chef.Suzy Chase: Oh my gosh. So you moved to Georgia in '05, when did you move to Cumberland Island?Whitney Otawka: So the first time I moved here was in 2010.Suzy Chase: Oh.Whitney Otawka: Yeah.Suzy Chase: Interesting, oh my gosh. When you got there, what was the thing that you did, or saw, or ate, that made you think this is my spot?Whitney Otawka: I talk about... Well, first of all, it was the nature. This island is... There's something sort of mysterious and also balancing about it all. If you work in professional kitchens, that you don't have windows. You don't know what time it is during the day unless you look at your watch. There's no natural light. Oftentimes, you're working 15 hours. You're not stepping outside. You're not in touch with the things that you're cooking. So here is this really unique opportunity to be around the things that you're cooking, and to be inspired by the place.Whitney Otawka: There's a window in the kitchen, however small it may be. When we grill, when we cook over wood, we step outside to do that. If we want shrimp, it's coming out of the intercostal waterway, which is literally 25 paces from my kitchen door. I mean this place is an incredibly dreamy place to create food. That will always inspire my approach to creating a menu. There's just endless sort of opportunity to be creative and have access to your ingredients.Suzy Chase: Now do you see wild pigs and horses?Whitney Otawka: Yeah, so there's wild horses all over. The herds stay in different parts of the island. We a very specific herd on this property, and there's a ton of them right now, and tons of babies. The pigs are very skittish. Oftentimes, I'll most likely see a pig when I'm jogging, especially away from the main properties. They tend to stay away. It's very rare that you see one on the Greyfield property. I've seen maybe one mama with maybe a couple of little piglets on her side.Suzy Chase: In your opinion, what are the most iconic southern meals? No pressure.Whitney Otawka: Well, I mean for my region it's a lot of the low country, right? My book touches on two areas that I combined into the idea of the tropical south. Most people think of the low country, right, as being the dominant flavor profile of the Carolinas and Georgia. We have dishes like shrimp and grits, which are incredibly, incredibly iconic. I do a spin on my book on fish and grits, which I think is equally iconic and maybe not as known, but I do a play where it's shrimp and fish and rice grits. You have pello's. You have Hoppin' John, which is a rice and a pea mixture. You have ingredients like okra. I mean, gosh, tomato sandwiches, those are so very southern. There's just a million iconic dishes I can think of off the top of my head that fall in southern food.Suzy Chase: What exactly is The Saltwater Table?Whitney Otawka: One thing that I noticed pretty early on is how salt infuses into everything when you live on the coast. It's heavy in the air. When you sweat, it comes out in your skin. It's sort of part of the food. The saltwater is where we get our fish, our seafood. That is sort of what the saltwater table is. It's that infusion of the environment and what it brings and how it influences the way we cook.Suzy Chase: "Early spring 2015, I found myself staring out at the vast Atlantic ocean. I had waded out into the choppy current to collect seawater. I wanted to make salt." You wrote in the introduction. Talk to me about that moment.Whitney Otawka: Sure. I mean, I really like that story of coming back here, so I worked here, like I said, in 2010. I came back. I left after I did Top Chef and I came back in 2015. Let's see, they closed two restaurants and coming here, and I was a bit of a wounded animal, I would say. As much as I didn't want to talk about it or feel that, out of my own control had lost two restaurants. I came back to this place that I'd always been in love within the first place. I'd taken over as chef and I wanted to do something fresh. I wanted to approach this island with a different perspective. And so I took on this project of making sea salt. I talk about in that introduction about how incredibly therapeutic it was because it was this crazy process.Whitney Otawka: When you read about a project like making saltwater or salt, you're like, oh, I can do that. But the realities of the situation, first of all, there's not a lot of cars on this Island, so lugging saltwater over sand dunes, getting gallons and gallons of saltwater back to a place to even be safe to dry, is its own crazy challenge. It was this process of distilling the saltwater, cleaning it, laying it out to dehydrate. It took weeks and weeks and there was times when, rain would blow in because I didn't have it protected well, and it would get washed out or all the sand gnats around here with land in it. It was this process of renewal for me. Taking on and being able to create something again, it was sort of therapeutic, so it was very important.Suzy Chase: You said in the book, "What truly great adventure goes as planned?" Isn't that the truth?Whitney Otawka: I mean I just spent a whole summer traveling and my favorite moments are the times when everything goes wrong. Not in the moment, but afterward, they make the best stories.Suzy Chase: I find with most of these southern cookbooks, the authors are from the south and you grew up in the Mojave desert. What sorts of foods did you grow up eating?Whitney Otawka: The Mojave desert was literally a food desert. It was not a place where there was visible locality. I didn't grow up near anything that was farmed. I didn't see agriculture, which is maybe one of the reasons I fell in love so very quickly with southern cuisine. My family didn't have a lot of money, but my mother was a good cook and my mother took on cooking from scratch for us. She would make bread. I grew up loving packaged hollandaise on my broccoli.Suzy Chase: Didn't we all.Whitney Otawka: She cared enough to put a lot of effort into that. The one thing, there wasn't amazing restaurants around us. There was no fine dining. I thought Olive Garden was the greatest thing ever. But there was from scratch Mexican cooking around us and that's one of the things that really I loved to eat. It influenced how I thought about food. You could get freshly made tortillas in the desert. You could get homemade salsa. I tasted mole at a very young age growing up in the Southern California Mojave Desert, which was really intense for me. But to be able to be exposed to from-scratch cooking of such quality was really important and shaped my palette, I think early on.Suzy Chase: You're the first chef I've met that tells a story of being taken by surprise that you were becoming a chef. Talk a little bit about that.Whitney Otawka: Yeah, I mean so I originally was going to be an archeologist. I had decided that pretty early on in my childhood that I wanted to be an archeologist. I wanted to go to Berkeley for my undergrad. I wanted to go to Brown. Egyptology was what I was most interested in. I also was in love with the French culture. I think a lot of young women, especially a woman like me that grew up in a very isolated environment, the idea of living in Paris and France, I just was obsessed over it. At Berkeley, I was taking some French classes. I wandered in and found a flyer for a little French restaurant and that's how I made my way into restaurants.Whitney Otawka: It wasn't intentional. I didn't intend to go work in that restaurant and work in a kitchen. They put me in the kitchen because they didn't think I had any front of house experience, but I was really good at it. From the beginning. I was really good at it. I loved taking care of ingredients. I loved thinking forward as in like anticipating the needs of what Eric Laroy, who was the owner, and he wouldn't have called himself a chef, but very much was a chef. I loved anticipating the needs of when an order was called, what he needed, being ahead of it. I would do everything from prepping the food to washing the dishes, to being the barista, to dropping the check to clearing the table.Whitney Otawka: I was sort of like, I did everything in that restaurant and I loved being active in that way. I loved running around. I loved sitting down to talk about food at the end of the night. I got sucked into restaurants and I kept denying that this is what I was going to do. I kept denying it until I think I was 26 when I finally admitted it to myself. It was the move to the south when I finally sort of realized that I was all along the way, was discovering food through the lens of this love of history, and anthropology, and archeology, but it was sort of morphing me into becoming a chef.Suzy Chase: Speaking of archeology, buried in Cumberland Island soil, are relics of at least 4,000 years of human history. What's the most interesting thing you've dug up?Whitney Otawka: So we, and when I say we, it's my husband, Ben and I. We have found two Spanish coins. Those are some of our treasures that we love, that we've personally found, but there's really amazing treasure hunters is what I call them, but they're family members. They've grown up on this island and they know where to look. Gogo Ferguson in particular, she's an amazing jewelry designer, and she goes out, and she finds amazing pottery shards from the Timucua Indians that lived here. She has found dinosaur bones, like a wooly mammoth molar.Suzy Chase: That's so cool.Whitney Otawka: Yeah and megalodon teeth, like extinct giant sharks. I'm in awe every time I see these amazing because I don't have the eye. My husband has a better eye than I do. You know, the people that can walk and be like, "Look at that." I'm like, "Rock, rock." I literally was standing on an arrowhead one time and somebody else was like, "What's under your foot?"Suzy Chase: Your culinary exploration of the south was combined with love and friendship. Talk a little bit about Ben.Whitney Otawka: Ben and I met working at Five & Ten under Hugh Acheson in Athens, Georgia. We started working together. He started actually a month after I did. He had worked at Blackberry Farm. He came in, and he actually moved to pastry. I was a day prep person because I was going to culinary school at night. In the kitchen during the day time, it would literally just be the two of us or maybe one other prep cook in there. He grew up in the south. He grew up in a small town, Washington, Georgia, in a much more... He was younger than me too. He had a much more traditional southern family. Their family had been in the same town since maybe the 1820s, so he had this very traditional upbringing.Whitney Otawka: I was from California, and a little more wild, and I had gone to Berkeley, but we just instantly became best friends. It was just, I don't know. I can't put words into it, but we were best friends immediately. We had this great year and a half of building an amazing friendship and then we along the way were falling in love. We've been working together, gosh, what? 13 years now in the same kitchen. We've lived most of our relationship on a deserted island, where we only have each other's company, but he taught me a lot about southern cuisine. You can learn a lot in a restaurant, but I think you learn so much more in the home from the people's traditions. The way that they eat. The way they celebrate. The way they mourn. The food that they serve on these occasions. I think those things have really crept into the soul of how I understand southern food. It's that gathering point around the table, the conventionality of it all.Suzy Chase: I went to a Hugh Acheson dinner the other night here in New York City. It's like you, he's from Canada, but he sort of embraced the south.Whitney Otawka: Yeah. He was an interesting mentor to have. He's very intelligent, very witty, very dry.Suzy Chase: Yeah. He was fun to listen to.Whitney Otawka: Yeah, he was always fun to listen to in the kitchen for sure. I mean it was a very close-knit team those early days at Five & Ten because he was still in the kitchen. It was before he'd gained fame. It was a great place to grow as a cook, honestly.Suzy Chase: Tell us the story of Greyfield Inn, which is the only commercial establishment on Cumberland Island and it has such a rich history.Whitney Otawka: It was in the 1880s that Andrew Carnegie's brother Thomas Carnegie and his wife Lucy Carnegie, first visited Cumberland Island. The Golden Isles became this interesting location for these northern industrial tycoons to come down and get away from the cold northern winters. Cumberland sort of struck Lucy's fancy. It was Lucy that really fell in love with Cumberland. They bought, I think it was like 80 or 90% of the Island. On this original hunting lodge, they built Dungeness. So Dungeness was the first house that's located on the north end of the Island. Lucy, being a very Victorian aged woman, wanted to have her children as close to her as possible.Whitney Otawka: So, for her married children, she built each of them a home on Cumberland Island. One of those houses being Greyfield. It was originally Grazefield. So Greyfield became the house she built for her daughter Margaret, who became Margaret Ricketson in marriage. It was passed down through their family. In the 60s, there came a point when a lot of these beautiful old homes that were so large and so hard for the families to keep up, were sort of run down. It was the family that convinced Lucy Ferguson in the 60s to turn it into an inn. I want to say it was 1965 that they decided to make Greyfield an inn. It started really small. I think they only had four rooms. It was all of Lucy's grandchildren who sort of took the charge and it's evolved over that time.Whitney Otawka: I mean it's been open for a good number of years now. It's really changed with the times. Yeah, that's Grayfields history, but there's some of the old houses still, as well, that are located here. Plum Orchard is now in the park system. Dungeness unfortunately, is in ruins now. It's The Dungeness Ruins. It was... This is an interesting story. Supposedly, in the 50s, there was a caretaker who had shot at someone that was poaching and hunting near the house. Supposedly, that man came back and set the house on fire.Suzy Chase: Oh my gosh.Whitney Otawka: The person was never caught, but the person is still in Fernandina, and alive, and brags that they were the one that set the house on fire. The Dungeness is in ruins. There was a house near there called The Grange. I believe it was also part of the original five houses. Yeah, it's amazing. I mean you drive along this dirt road on this nearly deserted island and you come across these 100-year-old mansion. They're just so striking and a bit spooky in their own way too.Suzy Chase: The only local produce you have access to is Grayfields two acre garden. What grows in your garden?Whitney Otawka: Oh man. We grow a lot of beautiful produce. Right now we're in between seasons because it's so hot in the months of August and September that we hardly could grow anything. We still have a little bit of okra coming in. We oddly get to bring back a little bit of summer produce when the intense heat settles down. We're looking for a second crop of tomatoes and cucumbers to come in right now. Leafy greens. We can grow everything from broccoli to cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, sweet potato greens. We had some beautiful sweet potatoes come out this summer. We have [inaudible 00:19:37] carrots, high curry turnips, beautiful fairytale eggplant, arugula, little gem lettuces. I mean it's absolutely stunning what we can grow in this amazing garden.Whitney Otawka: That credit really goes to the different teams that have come through and farmed. It's usually a couple, sort of like Ben and myself. I think couples do well in this isolated environment, but they're out there every day like we are in the kitchen. It's great too because we can go out there and be picky about things. Like, "Oh this is perfect the way it is now." We see it a different way sometimes then a farmer does. It's being involved and being able to walk out into the garden and know that it's being produced specifically for your kitchen. It allows you the opportunity to really choose when it should be harvested.Suzy Chase: Like a lot of cookbooks, you break up the chapters by season but your seasons are different. Can you tell us about those?Whitney Otawka: Sure. Yeah. It was an interesting process. It was funny. It was literally the first thing I thought of. It's based on the ecology of this island. It's based on the most prolific feeling of each season. The first chapter is Oyster Season. We have wild oysters that grow here on the island. We do oyster roast in the wintertime. It's the cold water. The water doesn't get super cold here, but the coldest waters produce really delicious oysters, as far as their briny and wild. The second season is vegetable season. That's a really great time for us for growing in the garden. It's that early spring to late spring, where we have so many amazing crops that run together. We still have tender [inaudible 00:21:19] carrots running into the first harvest of cherry tomatoes. It's pretty amazing the combinations we can get, so that's the second chapter.Whitney Otawka: The third chapter is Shrimp Season and shrimp is, I mean if you've been to the coastal south, shrimp is king, especially on the Georgia coast. It's a main part of the economy here. We still have shrimp festivals, we have the Blessing of the Fleets. It's one of the things that you can find easily that's caught locally. I mean everywhere you drive, there's a guy that's selling shrimp on the side of the road. And then there's heat, which is if you've ever been to the south in summer, you know what I'm talking about. It's this heavy blanket of humidity that drapes over everything. The sun is so saturated. The light is so bright. It dominates how you cook, how you feel. You have to take breaks in the afternoon. It's just really intense. And then we celebrate the breaking of the heat with smoke and cedar and that's when you can go back outside. That's the idea of preservation. That's when you're building fires again and sort of celebrating the years. That is the seasons.Suzy Chase: On Sunday night, I made your recipe for Low Country Boil on page 176. Can you describe this recipe?Whitney Otawka: Oh sure, yeah. I mean low country boils are so very popular in this region. I really think in the coastal south, everywhere from Louisiana to North Carolina, there's a version of a low country boil. For us here, like I said, shrimp is the king of our low country boils. We throw in shrimp. We throw in corn. We throw in potatoes. It's just this one-pot meal. I think it's pretty easy. Did you find it pretty easy to make?Suzy Chase: Yeah. What was interesting was I thought that the orange and then the tomato juice were surprising ingredients. Are they normally in low country boils? I'd never made one before.Whitney Otawka: I grew up making Frogmore Stew, which is a low country boil when I worked for Hugh Acheson and we always had tomato broth in ours, which I loved that flavor. And then the orange is for us here. We have a lot of citrus trees that grow on the island, so it was natural for me to reach for an orange as opposed to a lemon, which would be the obvious go-to. I love that addition of the orange to it. It was just that Cumberland Island feeling that I brought forth in the book. One last thing about that is that I love that you just throw it down and you eat it with your hands. There's not the pomp and circumstance of needing a knife and a fork.Whitney Otawka: I think the joy and I try to express this in a book a lot. There's something about eating with your hands that I just love. I love that feeling. Washed hands, I think I say in there, but I love that. It's just there's this casual nature. People instantly relax when they're eating with their hands, as opposed to at a table, with a white tablecloth, perfectly set with silverware. It just creates a different atmosphere. That's one of those meals that really creates a cultural memory and sort of gives you a sense of real people.Suzy Chase: Now to my segment called, My Favorite Cookbook. Aside from this cookbook, what is your all-time favorite cookbook and why?Whitney Otawka: I'm madly in love with the Hartwood Cookbook. It is one of those books that takes you to a destination and I just love everything about it. The storytelling, the writing, the food, the photography. It's so rich and so lovely. I call it sort of my little guidebook. I would keep it around when I was working on my book. I know the books are very different, but it was such an inspiration for me. Even the story Eric Werner and his wife. The story of going away and running away from New York to Mexico and to Tulum to open this project, I just love it. I love everything about that story. I love adventure and the food is beautiful, and the culture of the food there is incredibly impressive. Yeah, that's got to be one of my favorites.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web and social media?Whitney Otawka: I mean, everything's my name spelled out. I'm on Instagram. I'm on Facebook. I have a website, which is just whitneyotawka.com and I have a lot more recipes that I put on there. I have great intentions to do so many things, listing more of our travels. I do travel frequently. A lot of people ask me where to eat when I travel, so I'm trying to get those posted online as well. So, whitneyotawka.com.Suzy Chase: Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your life and for chatting with me on Cookery by the Book Podcast.Whitney Otawka: It was my pleasure. Thank you so much.Outro: Subscribe over on cookerybythebook.com and thanks for listening to the #1 cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book.

Dwight and Savannah recently headed out to Cumberland Island National Seashore. They saw so many amazing things that they had to record them and share with you. Interested in researching brand new homes and neighborhoods? Find Them HerePrefer a Re-sale Home? Search all homes for saleDwight and Savannah recently took a trip out to Cumberland Island National Seashore and had a great time. While they were there, they took a ton of great footage that they wanted to share with you. You can see all of it in the video above, but here’s what they did on their trip.First, they boarded a ferry out to the island in St. Mary’s, Georgia. They were greeted to the island by over 120 feral horses that roam the 9,800 acres that the island sits on. It was pretty amazing to see. They even saw a young foal nursing from her mother. While the horses are feral, they are descended from Spanish domestic breeds. They didn’t give them any trouble, but they certainly kept their distance. The earliest record of horses on the island was all the way back in 1742 at the battle between the Spanish and English over Ft. St. Andrews, but the modern occupation of the island began with Spanish missionaries in the 16th century. “ This was an amazing trip. The Dungeness Ruins were also quite a sight to behold. They were originally built by Catherine Greene, widow of Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene.  Later, Thomas and Lucy Carnegie built on top of the original foundation. However, the building burned down in 1959 and remains in ruins to this day.If you have any questions about Cumberland Island or anything real estate-related, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you.

A short ferry ride from Fernandina Beach, Fla. takes you to the shores of Cumberland Island, Ga., just over the state line. This island’s wild, untamed shoreline is broken up only by the dock, and once on land, you wander into a maritime forest of live oaks dripping Spanish moss, palm fronds, wild horses in the clearing in the distance, and deep sandy roads your only direction in. This is the magical setting of The Greyfield Inn, once a retreat for the Carnegie family and now an intimate inn where Executive Chef Whitney Otawka is once again at the helm, back from a stint on the mainland with Hugh Acheson projects, Top Chef Season 9 fame, and the Cochon 555 tour. She is focused, driven, and yet drawn to this place where the rhythm of the days are far different from that of the bright lights and big city. Still, she knows this is a season and not a sentence, and as a chef proves she is always thinking about the next dish, the next day.    

This week on Sharp & Hot, Chef Emily is joined via phone by Chef Whitney Otawka of the Greyfield Inn on Georgia's Cumberland Island. Whitney's entrance into the culinary world began in a French creperie in Oakland, California in 2000. She moved to Athens Georgia in 2005, where she quickly worked her way up to Sous Chef of 5&10 under Chef Hugh Acheson. For part of her tenure, she simultaneously worked as Chef de Partie of Linton Hopkins’ Restaurant Eugene in Atlanta, and also took time out to hold numerous stages in some of New York’s finest restaurants, including Per Se, Le Bernardin, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns. In 2010 she moved on to a unique opportunity in coastal Georgia at the prestigious Greyfield Inn of Cumberland Island, where she served as Executive Chef and began to gain national recognition, earning a spot as a contestant on season 9 of Bravo's Top Chef. Spring on the barrier islands of Georgia & North Florida is one of the most prolific times of the year. Radish, kale, cabbage, leeks, and snap peas of early spring begin to push into baby squash and the first round of tomatoes. Menus overflow with endless combinations and possibility. As a home cook, when the weather is this good, I prefer to cook outside, over an open fire. This recipe would make a great light lunch or a perfect side for dinner. The acidic marinade on the squash would be it a perfect pairing for a marbled steak or some lovely buratta. Squash Escabeche Yields 4-6 servings 1½ pounds squash, preferable baby ¼ cup evoo 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ cup escabeche marinade 1 cup arugula 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves 2 tablespoons marcona almonds Wash and cut the squash into various shapes. Set aside and build a fire in a grill. While the coals are burning down make escabeche marinade (see recipe below). When the grill is ready, toss the squash in the olive oil and kosher salt. Place the squash in a single layer on the grill. The grill should be at a medium- high heat with a low flame. You are looking to mark the squash, about 4 minuets on each side. Remove from heat. When ready to serve toss the squash in ½ cup of escabeche marinade, lightly torn arugula, cilantro leaves, and marcona almonds. Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt. This dish is excellent served hot, room temperature, or cold. Enjoy! Escabeche Marinade Yields ½ cup 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 1 Tablespoon lime juice 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar ¼ cup olive oil ¼ teaspoon kosher salt pinch of ground black pepper pinch of smoked Spanish paprika 1 Tablespoon minced white spring onion 2 teaspoon minced and deseeded jalapeno ¼ teaspoon minced garlic 2 teaspoon minced cilantro 2 teaspoon minced parsley Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Allow mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes before using.

Today we will have a rare glimpse into one of the last remaining wild places in the Eastern United States, Cumberland Island, a 18 mile long island just off the coast of Southern Georgia, a semi-tropical eden of endangered wildlife and pristine ancient forests that has been protected as a wilderness area since 1982. In addition to loggerhead turtles and wild horses, it is home to Carol Ruckdeschel, subject of the new biography *Untamed: the wildest woman in America and the fight for Cumberland Island*. Today we are speaking with the author of that book, Will Harlan, the editor in chief of *Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine* and award-winning journalist. Will was a park ranger on Cumberland Island for nearly twenty years. He initially dreaded crossing paths with this legendary witch of the wilderness, but the real Carol Ruckdeschel turned out to be a distinguished biologist, tireless steward of Cumberland island, and one of the most wildly fascinating people in America.

Andy doesn’t think he’s a farmer in the sense that most people would recognize, but he cares about compost as much as most people care about their pets. He has been working the earth in the low country from Savannah,GA to Cumberland Island for about 5 years. He did not receive a formal education in agriculture, but grew up in the middle of rural Indiana surrounded by massive fields of corn and soybeans and studied tourism development in college. These days he spends most of his time working in urban garden plots, his back yard, local schools, and restaurants. Andy hopes to start his own business in Savannah in the near future that will allow him to provide healthy food to the local market as well as provide a substantial income. He digs what the Greenhorns are doing across the country and is proud to be a young farmer. This episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. “There’s definitely a huge demand for small farmers, and young farmers, in Savannah . . . Georgia’s ripe and ready, the people are here and ready to do the work” –Andy Schwartz on Greenhorn Radio
