Stone Soup in Landrum plans to host an end of the summer party Thursday, Aug. 18 from 6:30-9 p.m. featuring barbecue from an award-winning competition barbecue team out of Gaffney.
“We wanted to do something for the community that would be a bit different. Plus, we just opened the new patio this summer and wanted people to be able to come out and enjoy that as well,” said general manager Mariah Morrissey.
The restaurant’s main kitchen will be closed for the evening but customers can instead enjoy plates of barbecue prepared by The Appalachian “Q” Crew. This award-winning barbecue team is run by Michael Scruggs, along with several of his closest friends.
Also on hand will be the band Special Edition from 7-9 p.m.
Representatives from Svdeka Vodka are also set to give away samples of several signature cocktails featuring grape and clementine vodkas carried at Stone Soup.
While the restaurant will be shut down during the evening, the main bar area will be open and will remain open after the event.
