After much waiting, Remedy on Lowest Greenville is finally going to start serving up some “thoughtfully crafted sodas” and “inventive ice cream sundaes.”
In partnership with chef Danyele McPherson, Remedy will also be doling out American favorites like fish sandwiches, BLTs, grilled cheese, pork chops, pot pies and more.
Owner Elias Pope is also the founder of HG Sply Co. and Social Mechanics on Lowest Greenville, and he derived the concept for Remedy from a book called “The Dispenser’s Formulary,” a practical handbook written for soda fountain operators compiled by the editors of “Soda Fountain Magazine” in 1915.
“At Remedy, we believe in bringing old-school hospitality back to life,” Pope explains.
He goes on to describe the long history behind soda and soda fountains, which began as early as the 1600s when people used natural sparkling water for medicinal purposes. Then during prohibition, people turned from the saloon to the soda fountain. “Soda fountains are the first completely American dining experience — a community where men, women and children all felt welcomed,” Pope says. “Remedy is our modern version of that tradition.”
