Tony the Peanut Man
West Ashley, SC
Anthony Wright has been selling peanuts — boiled, fried, and roasted — for 21 years at Charleston sporting events and tourist hot spots, and he has done all of the cooking in his own backyard. Wright is a living Lowcountry legend, but he is perhaps best known as a fixture at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Stadium, home of the Charleston RiverDogs minor league baseball team. While his face has graced T-shirts and even a comic book through the years, the thing people tend to remember is the song he sings in the stands on busy nights at the park.
“Hey, hey, what I say, got some boiled and I got some toasted,” he croons in a classic Charleston brogue, launching into a fast-talking sales pitch while bowing his legs and bouncing on the balls of his feet.
In March of last year, his backyard (including his peanuts and equipment) was set on fire. Friends and community members have donated to the effort to help him back on his feet again, and several local businesses had fundraising events for him.
