Congratulations to Fork and Plough, Our October Small Business of the Month

Posted by: Andrew Van on Thursday, November 5, 2020

Fork and Plough is a local favorite restaurant situated in the heart of Historic Overbrook, just east of downtown Greenville, SC. Known around town for the best burger, a go-to for Sunday brunch, and the perfect place for a Happy Hour cocktail, Fork and Plough highlights the best local ingredients from the coast of South Carolina to the mountains of North Carolina in a casual, comfortable setting. With locally sourced menu items including pork, beef, and produce from farms like Greenbrier Farms, it’s the perfect spot for weekly lunch meetings as well as Friday date nights.

You won't find a neighborhood restaurant anywhere close to Greenville doing what Greenbrier Farms’ owners Roddy Pick and Chad Bishop, and chef Shawn Kelly set out to do: provide both neighbors and visitors alike the Upstate's freshest and most plentiful meats, produce, and products, both as a dine-in and carryout option. This concept supports the idea that farmers and chefs can make a living supplying a community with its daily necessities, while also encouraging enjoyment of a simple meal of a sandwich or steak, chop, or bake. Just imagine: Wednesdays become your favorite lunch day of fresh and locally-sourced soups and salads with a friend. Then you get a favorite bottle of wine to bring home, coupled with carefully chosen side dishes and the best burgers in Greenville to throw on the grill. Or maybe you even have a long-standing Sunday brunch date or Happy Hour with neighbors. This is what Fork and Plough strives for in the Overbrook Neighborhood, Greenville, and the Upstate of South Carolina.

If you ask Shawn Kelly what he loves most about being a chef, you’re likely to get two answers. First, he’ll tell you it’s about the opportunity to create unique and memorable dishes using the finest local ingredients. And with the same level of importance, he’ll add that it’s also about the amazing people he gets to work with and cook for each day. Trained by iconic Charleston Chef Frank Lee, Shawn’s path to cooking began at Slightly North of Broad (SNOB). Throughout his time at SNOB, Chef Kelly learned the value of working closely and collaborating with local growers, fishmongers, and suppliers to select the finest ingredients for his dishes. In 2014 Shawn was hired as executive chef of Charleston’s High Cotton restaurant. Shawn is now pursuing his dream, offering farm-to-table fare to locals, with Fork and Plough, Greenville’s new all-in-one restaurant, grocery store, and butcher shop.
