Chef Jessica Shillato — the creative force behind the Spotted Salamander Café and Catering + a James Beard Award Semifinalist nominated for Best Chef — shared her recipe for Deviled Eggs with Sweet & Spicy SC Pecans with us so we can share it with you.

We love this egg-based dish because it evokes flavors of the South that bring forth memories of family gatherings and summertime celebrations. Here’s what you need to get started.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped South Carolina Pecans
  • 1 egg white
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 12 eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ½ cup Duke’s mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Pro tip: Grab your ingredients the local way by stopping by Lowes Foods, Soda City Market, or Rosewood Market.

Prepare the meal

  • Preheat the oven to 300°. In a bowl, add the pecans and egg whites; toss to combine. Add the sugar, salt, celery salt, and cayenne pepper; toss until combined.
  • Spread the mixture out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for ~40 minutes, stirring the nuts every 20 minutes. When finished, the nuts should be fragrant. Remove and let cool.
  • Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place in a mixing bowl.
  • Mash the yolks using a fork, then add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and Cajun seasoning; mix until smooth.
  • Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture and top with the pecans.

Originally built as a department store, the seven-story building was renovated in 2003 into a Class-A mixed-use development featuring 42 loft-style apartments that sit above 23,496 sqft of retail/office/specialty space across two floors of flexible floor plans. It’s been an arts center, it’s been a cosmetology school, and now, it’s available for lease via Trinity Partners. What will it be next?

    Wait, is the term “Soda City” cringe?
    Soda City
    You may recognize the term Soda City the most from Soda City Market — Columbia’s local, Saturday vendor market. | Photo by @brett.cr3
    The below feedback came across our desk, and we have to know if other Soda Citiz— we mean locals — agree.

    For a little backstory, the moniker “Soda City” comes from a shortened version of Columbia — Cola. Cola is another word for soda, and thus, Soda City was born.

    “Will you please do a poll about whether or not residents of Columbia like the term “Soda Citizens”. I think it’s cringy, along with “Soda City”, but would like to know if it’s just me. It’s just such a tortured moniker.

    I would prefer they rename Columbia completely if this is the alternative. Or just let this nickname die a natural death. For fun, maybe take suggestions for something better. Love the publication. Hate Soda Citizens.

    Thanks!”

    Let us know if you agree and share your preferred moniker for Columbia below.
