food & drinks

Have you heard of Live Oak Eats? This is Carolina Home & Garden’s in-house catering directed by Chef Will Eason. Chef Will is a North Carolina native, who has more than 25 years of culinary experience. 

​

After dabbling in normal college life, Will moved to Charleston, SC where he lived for 10 years working at a variety of amazing restaurants. He then moved to Austin, TX, one of the most amazing foodie scenes in the nation, for another decade. He spent his time learning many types of cuisine including French, Italian, Asian, and Mexican!

​

Texas is where he perfected his brisket recipe, which he brought back home to North Carolina in 2020. When the world of restaurants was shifted, Will chose to seize that moment and take his years of experience to the small beach town he had visited his whole life with his family, Atlantic Beach. 

​

When his wife Charly got a job at Carolina Home & Garden, it became a great opportunity to bring his skills to the changing food options that were happening. He now serves food to the public on Thursdays and Fridays, including fresh, local artisan tacos, juicy 15-hour smoked briskets, and to-die-for mac and cheese. In between all of that (and sometimes on top of) he caters for weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, special event dinners and so much more!
