Funky Foods for Folly Gras

Folly’s Chefs take on New Orleans Cuisine – Folly Food News

Last month Folly Beach hosted Folly Gras; a festival encompassing everything Mardi Gras with a side of Folly funk. There were beads, a parade, a street festival, masquerade masks, and even a food competition. Placing third was Planet Follywood with their Alligator Meatball Sub; in second, Chico Feo with a Cajun Bahn Mi, and in first place for Best Folly Cuisine was the creators of the Muffaletta and Shrimp Skewer, Loggerhead’s Beach Grill.
