Smack dab in the middle of Myrtle Beach sits Bummz Beach Cafe. We took Charlie Rymer there to check out the views, food and even a few of their signature cocktails!
Charlie Rymer:
So I’ve had a tough morning on the golf course. It’s early afternoon. Time to wet the whistle, and I am at a great place to do that. This is Bummz, B-U-M-M-Z, and if you look at Myrtle Beach, it’s 70 miles top to bottom. We are right in the middle at the 35-mile mark. And I’m joined by a long-time fixture here, Jeff Spencer. You’ve been here a long time haven’t you, Jeff?
Jeff Spencer:
Yeah, I’ve been looking at this pretty view for 15 years.
Charlie Rymer:
Oh, that’s tough. That’s a tough gig.
Jeff Spencer:
It’s tough. I know, sorry about that (Not sorry!).
Charlie Rymer:
I’ve got to tell you, so I’m relaxed a little bit. As I mentioned, it’s time to wet the whistle. When I come to Bummz and I’m thirsty, what do I need to order?
Jeff Spencer:
Everybody loves the Beach Relief. You come off the-
Charlie Rymer:
Beach Relief, that’s the name of the drink? Let’s get some of that Beach Relief in here. So what’s in that Beach Relief?
Jeff Spencer:
Well, you have a raspberry vodka. You have coconut rum, pineapple juice, a little grenadine, so it’s pretty, a squeeze of orange.
Charlie Rymer:
Speaking of pretty.
Speaker 3:
Beach Relief and the Miami Vice.
Charlie Rymer:
Miami Vice?
Jeff Spencer:
Yeah, it’s one of my dangerous concoctions.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay, so it looks like that’s your favorite. She set that down in front of you. What are we dealing with here?
Jeff Spencer:
Well, I call it “99 problems and the Beach Ain’t One.”
Charlie Rymer:
What you got in there?
Jeff Spencer:
My rule, it’s a Miami Vice, instead of rum I use a 99 proof banana liqueur.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Jeff Spencer:
And a little bit of pineapple to bring out the flavor, but it’s beautiful.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay, man, I know you’re on the job, but you can have a little sip though I bet.
Jeff Spencer:
[inaudible 00:01:47].
Charlie Rymer:
Man, that is good.
Jeff Spencer:
Cheers.
Charlie Rymer:
I’m forgetting about that three-putt on 18 already.
Jeff Spencer:
I know. That’s good for the whistle.
Charlie Rymer:
After one or more of these I’m going to get a little bit hungry.
Jeff Spencer:
Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
What do I need to order up? What’s the one thing I need to order here at Bummz?
Jeff Spencer:
You have to have the grouper fingers.
Charlie Rymer:
You talked me into it.
Jeff Spencer:
You’ve got to have the grouper fingers.
Charlie Rymer:
Fresh, probably local grouper?
Jeff Spencer:
Local, fresh, lightly breaded, it’s beautiful.
Charlie Rymer:
A little bit of Texas Pete on there. Does that work for you?
Jeff Spencer:
Oh yeah, throw some Texas Pete on there.
Charlie Rymer:
Little tartar sauce.
Jeff Spencer:
A nice tartar sauce. We get little petal sauce that comes with it. It’s gorgeous.
Charlie Rymer:
I can tell after 15 years here you’ve got no stress at all. I want that to be contagious.
Jeff Spencer:
It’s island time, baby.
Charlie Rymer:
Jeff, appreciate your time. Thank you.
Jeff Spencer:
The pleasure’s mine.
Charlie Rymer:
Come on and see Jeff at Bummz if you’re ever in the area. Remember, we’re right in the middle of Myrtle Beach.
