THE WRAP
Todayâs issue was written by David.
Editorâs pick: Congratulations to Simpsonâs Boiled Peanuts (overall winner) and Meekâs Nuts (best flavored) for winning the judgeâs awards for best boiled peanuts at the annual Palmetto Peanut Boil. The competition was tight, but Simpsonâs peanuts were the size of baby arms and had a perfect salty briny flavor. The nuts were firm enough to hold together, but still soft enough to soak in all the flavor. Grab a bag when you see them around town.
