FLORENCE--Julia Belle’s Restaurant at thePee Dee State Farmers Market is celebratingits second anniversary this month. Thefarm-to-table, Fresh on the Menu eateryopened on Dec. 13, 2014 and has become apopular spot for locals—and travelers—to get amade-to-order meal.

“We keep it simple,” said owner Fran Snell.“Our food is Southern with a Lowcountryinfluence.” Items like Lowcountry boil, shrimpand grits, an awesome crab cake sandwich,and homemade breads keep people comingback.

“We’re best known for our blue platespecials, l ike pork chops, salmon cakes,popcorn shrimp, baked and fried chicken, andmeatloaf. Every day has a different special,and we cook from scratch,” she said.

The menu lists 13 entrees and freshly madesides like cheese grits, fried green tomatoesand beefy baked beans. “We make our ownbrioche for sandwiches. We hand patty theburgers and make our own sauces, coleslaw,chili and our own mac and cheese,” the ownersaid.

Another thing that makes the restaurantunique is that Fran buys as much produce aspossible directly from the Farmers Marketacross the yard. And when she goes to themarket, she hands out brochures featuring thespecials of the day, like chicken and waffles ora fried pork chop sandwich.

“I know about food and beverage. Lunch hasto be fast. You have to be consistent, givegood service and have good food,” she said.Their motto is “Farm Fresh, Family Friendly.”

Running a restaurant is a commitment,and it ’s not for the faint of heart. JuliaBelle’s, which named for the owner ’sgreat-grandmother, Julia Belle Young Sinclair,is open every day except Sunday from 11 a.m.until 3 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday nightsuntil 9.

The owner worked in various restaurants asa teenager. After graduating from the Universityof South Carolina, she moved to Hilton Head

Island. There she met her future husband,Warren Snell, who was the executive chef atFitzgerald’s Restaurant. The couple moved toCamden to open their f irst restaurant,Sinclair’s.

Years later, the couple and their four childrenre-located to Florence. When the big red barnat the Farmers Market in Florence becameavailable, Fran jumped at the chance to reopenthis unique venue. The building, which was atvarious times a mule barn, a tobacco barn anda hot dog stand, speaks to an era gone by.Fran remodeled the building while retaining thebarn’s unique charm.

Fran relies heavily on her husband’s advice,and their daughter Julia also works with them.The move has been successful for the family.

“We have found our niches. Food should bean enhancement to life, and it should make youhappy,” she said. “I look forward to comingto work. I love the staff and the customers.We’ve had wonderful experiences with therestaurant.”

Another thing that draws people toJulia Belle’s is the dessert menu. Thefamily-reunion type items like banana pudding,peach cobbler, and pineapple upside-downcake are augmented with Warren’s originalrecipes for a decadent white Russian pecanpie and a sublime fruit pie that combinesapples, oranges, and pineapple in a creamcheese binder. The crescent shaped pie is thendeep fried and served hot. Rounding out thedesserts are cheesecake, key lime pie, andhomemade chocolate chip cookies.

Julia Belle’s has a private dining room thatseats 18, and catering is available for smalland large parties. On a typical weekday, thedining area is full and the picturesque aisle inthe barn accommodates the overflow. Therestaurant, which gets excellent reviews, wasrecently named the best restaurant in the stateby Yelp, but Fran knows not to take hercustomers for granted. “I am happy thatpeople pass every other restaurant to come eatwith us,” she said.

Julia Belle’s is located inside the Pee DeeState Farmers Market at 2513 W. Lucas St. inFlorence.

The S.C. Emergency Management Divisionand the National Weather Service along withthe agencies that comprise the StateEmergency Response Team encourageeveryone in South Carolina to prepare forsevere winter weather by checking suppliesand safety plans now.

Snowfall, ice storms and extreme cold canimmobilize an entire region. Even areas thatnormally experience mild winters can be hitwith an ice storm or extreme cold. Winterstorms can result in flooding, storm surge,closed highways, blocked roads, downedpower lines and hypothermia.

Residents should take the properwinter weather precautions during mildertemperatures while the winter emergencysupplies are in low demand:

n Include winter supplies like shovelsand rock salt in your household emergencykit.

n Prepare for possible isolation in yourhome by having sufficient heating fuel in caseregular fuel sources are cut off.

n Insulate pipes with insulation ornewspapers and plastic and allow faucets todrip a litt le during extreme cold to avoidfreezing.

n Learn how to shut off water valves incase a pipe bursts.

n Portable generators are commonlyused during an outage. Carbon monoxide

fumes are odorless and deadly. Followmanufacturer’s instructions to prevent deathfrom carbon monoxide.

n Make sure the fireplace has a sturdyscreen to stop sparks from flying into the room.Ashes should be cool before putting them in ametal container for disposal.

n Chimneys should be cleanedand inspected every year by a qualif iedprofessional. They can become filled withhighly flammable layers of creosote.

n Have your vehicle serviced to ensure itis prepared for the winter season.

n In every vehicle, place a winteremergency kit that includes: a shovel;windshield scraper and small broom; flashlight;battery-powered radio; extra batteries; water;snack food; matches; extra hats, socksand mittens; first aid kit with a pocket knife;medications; blankets; tow chain or rope; roadsalt and sand; booster cables; emergencyflares; and a fluorescent distress flag.

It includes check lists, informationon how to get the current status of governmentoffices and more. The S.C. Severe WinterWeather Guide is available for download atscemd.org.
