The Myrtle Beach area has many excellent chefs who strive for competitive culinary excellence, and two of them are soon headed to New Orleans to try and hook a national seafood title.

As reported at MyrtleBeachRestaurantNews.com, Executive Chef Corbett Rourk and sous-chef Nicholas Huckabee, both of The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, are competing against 13 other chef duos in the Great American Seafood Cook-off taking place Aug. 6 in New Orleans.

The chefs are preparing hogfish, which is a local seafood delicacy.
