🏆🍲 OUR CHEF KATIE BROUGHT HOME THE GOLD!

A HUGE congratulations to our very own Chef Katie for taking FIRST PLACE at this year’s Empty Bowls Fundraiser at St. Andrew’s By-the-Sea Episcopal Church! 🥇👏

Turns out Katie knows a thing or two about making some award-winning soup! 😏

The best part? This event raises money to support local food pantries and help keep our neighbors fed. ❤️
We're proud of Katie for representing Dirty Dick’s and putting her talents to work for such a great cause!

🚩 RED FLAG OR NAH? 🚩

We asked the Dirty Dick’s crew the important question: If your date doesn’t like seafood, is that a red flag? 👀🦀🍤

Let’s just say, one person said no. The rest of the crew had some concerns. 😂🚩

What do y’all think? Dealbreaker or can you make it work? Drop your verdict below. 👇

Alright y’all, cozy season means GUMBO season. 🍂🥄

When there’s a little chill in the air, there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of rich, hearty gumbo piled with rice and packed with that Cajun flavor we love.

Come get cozy, Dirty Dick’s style.

LOW COUNTRY BOIL, because a fork just feels wrong here. 🦐

We’re talkin’ a heap of seasoned shrimp, corn on the cob, red potatoes, and a cup of melted butter sittin’ there like it knows exactly what’s about to happen.

Peel. Dunk. Devour. Repeat. 😏

Napkins are optional. Getting messy is part of the experience.
