Palmer Fortune, owner of Palmer’s Village Café, and partner Mills Garwood have opened St. Simons Island’s newest eatery, Porch, at 549 Ocean Blvd., (one door away from Moo Cow.) The eclectic setting with indoor and outdoor seating – and cornhole, of course – features a Southern menu with Nashville hot chicken, fried catfish, and all the fixings. A hot-o-meter helps you choose the level of heat for your fowl or fish. You don’t like your fried chicken hot? Order it Naked. You’d rather live on the edge? Then Napalm might be more your speed. Novice and Nashville sit comfortably in between, so you can get the spice just right. Tasty sides include Porch corn, mac and cheese, and pimento cheese grits. Craft beer and frose (frozen rose) are perfect thirst quenchers, and you’ll definitely want to save room for the banana pudding! Open 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. C’mon by!
