Welcome to PeeDeeFoodie.com™

Thank you for joining us. Our names are Kevin and Melissa Barron and we’re the founders and publishers of PeeDeeFoodie.com which is based in Florence, South Carolina. That’s the heart of the Pee Dee Region.

Launched in January 2010 as a way to learn about the food, foodies and food culture of the Pee Dee Region, PeeDeeFoodie.com has become a great deal more. It has become an online community for friends and fellow foodies to discover, share, and enjoy all that our region has to offer. Do we know everything about the food history and culture of the Pee Dee? No, but that’s what makes all of this so exciting!
