There’s a whole lot of talk about the most wonderful time of the year, for a great many reasons, of course, but our New Year cheer doesn’t wrap up on the morning of January 1. January has become one of our busiest months of the year around here and so many of you reading this are a huge reason why.
I’m very happy to share that we will be back for the 2026 Home and Garden Show at the Savannah Convention Center January 23-25. We will be set up in our usual corner, manning the Eat It and Like It Cooking Stage.
If I come across as if this is old news to you, it’s because it pretty much is to so many people. Our Cooking Stage events are one of our most popular of the year and a significant majority of the people who come to see us are from north of the Savannah River – Sun City, Bluffton, and Hilton Head and beyond. It has been a great pleasure meeting and chatting with so many of you over the years.
Of course, there are those that might not know what this is all about. We are here for you as well.
The Eat It and Like It Cooking Stage is a prominent figure at the Home and Garden Show every year. We set up a stage and I invite a series of local chefs to come and prepare a dish or two for us. There’s question and answer and there are, yes, free samples while those supplies last.
I lost count a while back, but I am going to guess this is maybe the seventh or eighth year that we’ve had a stage at the Convention Center (newly expanded by the way) and have always had a good time.
Equal parts educational (our chefs are always happy to offer cooking tips) and delicious, the Cooking Stage, as well as the rest of the Home and Garden Show, is a great way to get out of the elements that might be served up in January. Cold? No problem.

The best part? Admission to the Home and Garden Show is always free. Grab yourself a bag up front and start collecting samples – for hours if you’d like.
I’m still working on the list of participants at press time, but suffice it to say it will be a great line-up. It always is. In the past, we’ve enjoyed fried shrimp, we’ve had Greek bites, we’ve had soups. All of it delicious and all of it a good time.
If you need more information about the who, what, when, where, you can find that on my website, eatitandlikeit.com.
We’ll see you there! Happy New Year!
