A Pier Road Tradition
Thursday, December 27th, 2007
Located at the end of Feeding Road, the Commissary, built around 1915, served as the general store for island residents. Anything from groceries to luxuries could be purchased here. It continues to sell gourmet food items in the present day.
All through the year specialty Southern foods can be purchased at the Commissary. The Commissary is also currently requesting recipes for a cookbook. The new cookbook will be published next spring by Juliana Germano, proprietor of The Commissary. Juliana is accepting recipes locally and from visitors of Jekyll Island from around the country. She wants to compile a cookbook from people all over the country who love to cook. So send your favorite recipes today to: The Commissary, 24 Pier Road, Jekyll Island, GA 31527 or email to jekyllcommissary@bellsouth.net to be a part of history!
Along with the recipe please include your name, city, and state as you wish for it to appear, as we will be using it when acknowleging your recipes. Also, please include your telephone number or email address so that you may be contacted if needed.
