Guests: Restaurateurs Walter Clay (French Market Grille, Rae’s Coastal Cafe), Chris Cunningham (Wife Saver) and Todd Schafer (Abel Brown).
Description: Clay, Cunningham and Schafer join host Ward Clayton to offer their takes on Augusta’s underrated food scene and, of course, weigh on the pimento cheese versus egg salad.
Talking Points:
▪️ Chris Cunningham once provided pimento cheese, egg salad and chicken sandwiches to Augusta National.
▪️ Walter Clay and Sandy Lyle’s golf ball once had a bloody collision on Augusta National par-5 eighth hole.
▪️ Todd Schafer began cooking for Sand Hills, the Black community adjacent to the restaurants, Augusta Country Club and Augusta National, that was among many neighborhoods devasted by Hurrican Helene, and continues on today. ▪️ All three restaurant owners suggest the closest pimento cheese brand to what Augusta National serves.
