MYRTLE BEACH — Some chefs study their way to the top, but O.A.K. Prime's Jerrett "JK" King got there the hard way.

"I've had a lot of people help me along th...

CONWAY — Jennifer Elvis never knows when her phone or doorbell will ring. Founder of a small nonprofit that works to adopt and foster out dogs, her labor of love is confronting a stark reality: As Horry County adds people in record numbers, animals follow.

This South Carolina Seafood Restaurant Serves Platters So Big You Might Need The Whole Family To Finish

A full pound of snow crab legs is just one piece of the classic steampot here. It also brings oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, corn, slaw, and hush puppies. I’ll say it plainly. That’s not a meal for one person, and I love that. The whole thing arrives piping hot, so your table goes quiet fast.
