Let’s celebrate you with a feast; what’s on the table?
With this feature, we seek to capture a glimpse of what you and your neighbors have to say about a variety of topics, issues, events – and just plain fun questions.
You might see us anywhere around town, with notepad and camera, randomly seeking out folks who are willing to participate. If we find you, we hope you will want to respond.
At a birthday celebration, we asked: “An epic feast is being held in your honor. What’s on the table?”

Kim Thompson, Jefferson, Georgia: “Cabbage cooked in any way, shape or form. Or either pork. Or both!”

Shirley Cope, Columbia: “A big pile of fruits and vegetables.”

Kinsey Gause, Columbia: “A whole pig, with green beans, mashed potatoes, brisket, pulled pork, and peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert.”

Brian Cook, West Columbia: “Lots of seafood – lobster, crab, shrimp.”

Pat Allison, Columbia: “Meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, squash casserole, Aunt Emily’s biscuits and carrot cake.”
