Hey Guys-My family and I are going to be in the area July 9-16. We are very excited about it but one of my downfalls is that I am a major planner!!!!!! I guess it is the school teacher in me-haheha Anyway, I have always found a board to check things out in whatever area we are visiting-One of my favorites has always been about FOOD!!!! Where the best is-what restaurants are famous for what? Price ranges and so on..... Is there anyone else who frequents this board interested in this kind of information-I am new-maybe there is already something like that here and I don't know about it. Anyway-thanks for all the great information so far!!!

I definitely agree about needing a good meat and three. It would kill it down here. Also, the Wheelhouse burned, so we are really hurting for some good fast good food.

Come to my house. I'll cook for you so that we won't be subjected to fast food on 30-A.
OOPS! Just kidding! Just do Bruno's for lunch. Or get steamed shrimp at Goatfeathers. Or get sandwiches at Publix.

Good things come from time, love, and effort, fast has nothing to do with it. 😀Our typical lunch in the summer is vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced and doused with EVOO, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, and Kosher salt. We love steamed shrimp from Goatfeathers. If we're being cavalier about calories, we'll nuke some Gordo's cheese dip from Publix with tortilla chips. If we get a sweet tooth, we'll grill some peach halves on the George Foreman (too hot to grill outside - LOL) and serve it with low-fat frozen yogurt.

Easier yet - the precooked Johnsonville brats (I'm married to a WI native, and they DO brats) from Publix with Vidalia onions, chips, and cheese dip. No calories.
Actually these ideas work for dinner, too.
Our margarita recipe is awesome BTW, if we care to indulge. Never before noon. But it's always noon somewhere.

You can stop there. Sounds like my kind of stuff.
Well, maybe a taste of this desert. I am not one who eats many sweets, but this sounds interestingly delicious.

You're hilarious! I'm in GA right now.I've been known to travel great distances for great food. Georgia is not a great distance in my book -- it is walking distance.

The D&K Cafe in Old Grayton Beach, across from The Red Bar and upstairs. Can't beat the food, the prices, and the ambience. You can sit outside with a nice view of the Gulf and a breeze. Their gumbo, fish salad and fish sandwiches are the best I've had anywhere. We also get a double order of the boiled shrimp for the table. Had my husband's birthday party there and Doug did a great job for our group of 36 people. They are the favorite of all our guests at Grayton and everyone goes home with a D&K tee-shirt. During the off season, open for lunch and weekend nights only. During season, lunch and dinner daily. (D&K stands for Doug and Kathy, the owners.) A great place!
Yum Yum!!! One of the best times for me at D&K's is to sit outside in January and slurp down some of the delicious gumbo! We also like the gumbo at Hurricane's, but sure miss the rice! I guess it's low-carb!!! Is gumbo w/ or w/o rice a debate like chili w/ or w/o beans?
Remember D&K when they were located in the Cafe Tango spot? Love Cafe Tango, too!

Gumbo w/o rice is not gumbo. What could they be thinking! :shock:

That's what I thought! It is truly a tasty broth, but gumbo with rice is much more nice!!! Solution # 1: Buy their gumbo to go...add rice at home and dig in! Solution # 2: Hand them a box of rice when ordering and tell them of their sins!!

Technicaly speaking, mine is not Gumbo because I do not use okra to thicken. Instead I use a roux which gives a much richer flavor and does not present a slimey texture. Also, some good 'ole homemade cornbread goes down well with tasty Gumbo. Did I mention that I make it in big batches? It changes greatly over the 2-3 days which is in my refrigerator.
