Peaches Delight

Greenville's Mr. Crisp finds balance in the sweetness of summer

- BRENDAN MONTESINOS

Peaches are the poster child of Southern fruits, eye-catching for their fuzzy exterior and blushing color that calls out to us from the roadside stand as a juicy summertime snack. Chef Gregory McPhee of Mr. Crisp in Greenville, South Carolina, prefers Mac's Pride peaches from McLeod Farms in McBee, South Carolina, which he says produces some of the best in the state. He sticks it out every summer until peaches are in full swing, then finds new ways to incorporate them on the menu.
