At Soby’s New South Cuisine in Greenville, South Carolina, executive chef Shaun Garcia is putting a spin on deviled eggs.
"Deviled eggs are a Southern icon. They are easy to make and easy to share. Down South you will never go to a gathering or picnic without deviled eggs. We like to put a modern spin on the classic with a surprise element by adding a fried oyster, smoked salmon or crispy bacon on top," Garcia, a Spartanburg County, South Carolina, native, told FOX News.
"Consider this recipe your canvas, and add that element of surprise for a real wow factor," she said.
