Northwest Grill’s burgers make it a roadside gem: City Juice with John Malik

I’m not a fan of labeling any restaurant “the best” at anything because much of what we enjoy in life is contextual. Lunch with friends is a lot more fun than lunch without friends. That’s why I brought Diego Campos (executive chef, Camp) and Jason Janson (Broadwater Shrimp) to Northwest Grill where we had a great meal.

John Jeter, Handlebar founder who shaped Greenville music scene, dies

The Upstate has lost a music business trailblazer who put Greenville on the map as a destination for nationally touring performers and their fans. John Jeter died on Nov. 9 after a period of declining health. He was 66. During a 20-year run, his music venue, the Handlebar , showcased Grammy-winning folk artists, blues and rock legends, regional up-and-comers and local favorites. “The Handlebar hosted so many amazing concerts that we all got to enjoy,” said Gene Berger, owner of Horizon Records in Greenville. Berger noted that Jeter put on concerts that drew large crowds and were successful from a business standpoint while also making room for “passion gigs” – smaller concerts “for the cultural good.” Jeter opened the Handlebar in 1994 with his wife, Kathy Laughlin, and his late brother, Stephen. They weren't experienced in the music business, and they knew they were taking a leap of faith. The club’s first location was in a former textile mill building on Mills Avenue (now the Lofts at Mills Mill ). It was billed as a “listening room,” with Jeter focused on booking acoustic acts. It didn’t take long for the Handlebar’s calendar to expand to include full bands and louder
