Not one of those people was waiting for permission. In episode three of Myrtle Moments: Faces & Places, host Brent Lovell talks with four chefs and restaurateurs who decided what a beach town restaurant could be, and then built it. In this episode: O.A.K. Prime — Jared King on growing up in Myrtle Beach, teaching himself fine dining without culinary school, and earning the first Michelin recommendation on the Grand Strand. Lekker Eats — Jordan, South Carolina's 2026 Chef Ambassador, on a menu named for places in South Africa, a cuisine that belongs to no country, and why nothing on it arrives frozen. Winna's Kitchen — Jess Sagan on arriving in downtown Myrtle Beach with nothing thirty years ago, investing her savings in the same few blocks, and the menu item anyone can order regardless of whether they can pay. Heidi's Corner — Heidi Vukov on opening forty seats in 1994 as a single mother, building South Carolina's first all-electric restaurant kitchen, and a James Beard nomination she did not see coming. Big Mike's Soul Food — on what Myrtle Beach dining looked like before the current wave, which traditions carried through, and how the town held onto its identity while everything around it grew.

Murrells Inlet built its own boardwalk over the marsh. North Myrtle Beach learned a dance from its visitors and has been guarding it ever since. People say Myrtle Beach when they mean sixty miles of coastline and a whole string of communities, each with its own history and its own reasons for doing things. In the final episode of season one, host Brent Lovell visits five of them. In this episode: Conway — Kaylee Austin on a river town fifteen miles inland with its own calendar, coffin races down Laurel Street with a trophy for the slowest, and the Hallmark movie that brought people from Vermont in December. Murrells Inlet — Sean Bond on a commercial fishing town that built the Marshwalk itself, the goats everyone still asks about, and what it means when the T-shirts stop saying Myrtle Beach. North Myrtle Beach — Cheryl Kilday on a town whose defining culture came from its visitors, the shag, OD Pavilion, and the annual return they call the Great Migration. Atlantic Beach — Patricia Mallett on a haven founded in 1934, the Gullah Geechee history she has spent years documenting, and the stories about Atlantic Beach that were never true.

In episode four of Myrtle Moments: Faces & Places, host Brent Lovell goes to the parts most visitors drive straight past, and meets the people who decided they were worth keeping. In this episode: Brookgreen Gardens — Lauren Joseph on nine thousand acres of former rice plantation that hold a museum, a zoo, a botanical garden and a low country history center, and an arrangement written in the 1930s that keeps it that way in perpetuity. Myrtle Beach State Park — Troy Crider on the first state park South Carolina ever built, the only public green space in the county sitting directly on the beach, and the one thing he tells every visitor to do. Express Watersports — Katie Frandy on the resident dolphin pods a couple of miles offshore, teaching people to be good ocean stewards, and why the only way to see any of it is to get out on the water. South Carolina Department of Natural Resources — Captain Tommy Buchanan on Venus flytraps, Carolina bays, black bears, and what the word unspoiled actually means.
