The American Culinary Foundation (ACF) has presented Brays Island Excecutive Chef, Ronald Andrews, with its prestigious President's Medallion for 2009. The ACF honors those who significantly contribute to the culinary profession and the organization. Andrews received his accolades in Orlando, at the organization’s national convention. Andrews was one of only 23 recipients recognized.

Active involvement in the community is one of Ronald's strong suits. Besides being Brays Top Chef, Ronald Andrews also serves as President of the Low Country Chapter of the American Culinary, assist with the Iron Chef competition at the Hilton Head Seafood Festival, and has worked as the Executive Chef at Jekyll Island Club Hotel. His participation is various area events no doubt caught the ACF's attention.

To us here at Lowcountry Properties, this came as no surprise. Brays Island Plantation is consistently one of the Southeast’s most luxurious communities. Besides the obvious beauty of the island and sporting lifestyle, residents are quick to point out that cuisine on Brays is as good as it gets.

By the way, are you going to participate in the Shrimp and Grits festival in September? If so, I'll try to say hi in person as my family and I will be there that week.

Kindest regards, and hope to see you there.
