seagrove market and cafe

So we decided to try to cheap out with the bar menu at Caf? 30-A. Well, the grouper on the old bar menu we had has gone from $12 to $17. We each ordered a salad and split a pizza. Since the wine was $7 a glass and up, we opted for a $29 bottle of wine (as cheap as 4 glasses of wine). Total bill: $77.
Guess I need to get off my lazy butt, grill some fish or buy some steamed shrimp from Goatfeathers, and serve it with a bag salad, even if it means washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen.

Can't say I relish "Plan B."

Recreate the $77 (sans generous tip) menu: Dominos Take-Out, a bottle of wine, and forget the salad...and forget the dishes!

Do you know of a Dominoes in the area of which I am unaware?

That's pretty much what we've decided - Bruno's (SJ they've never been mean to me), a bottle of wine for $10, a bag salad, and dig out the good olive oil and balsamic vinegar from the owner's closet. That'd be about $30.

I don't mind cooking when we're here for a week. But when we're just down for a weekend, it's a pain to dig all of the staples and cleaning products out of the owner's closet, even if it is fairly well organized.

Drat! I am planning to create an owner's closet because I thought that would solve all my organization problems at the cottage... Oh well.

As for food (my favorite topic on this message board), I think there's an inexpensive place to get hot dogs in Grayton Beach. Given that so much food has gone upscale, I think there's a real opportunity for some entrepreneurs to have vending carts along 30A. Low over-head, can adjust easily to the seasons, and serve a real need (cheap food you can order while barefoot and with sandy feet). The oyster po boy sandwiches at the new Shades by the Loop are about $7.00 and excellent. Ok, it's time for a new thrad on cheap eats on 30A.

The latest I've heard is that the Seagrove Market may relocate to WaterColor Crossing where Publix is. Time will tell whether that happens and whether the move becomes permanent. Apparently the manager at Publix knows and is fine with it because the deli is not profitable.

I'm confused! (nothing new)!! I'll be arriving April 10th--will the Market Cafe be open? or do I need to start crying now? It's a wonderful place and I can't imagine it being the same in the lobby of a new hotel. But, it's one that will never leave my list of places to eat--and it's top of the list for my friends who used to go to St. Augustine and now LOVE SoWal.

When the hotel is built, the Seagrove Market will supposedly move to another location. The restaurant in the hotel will be a fancy smancy place -- at least that is the message thru the grapevine.

Last I heard the new location will be beside Publix. They will probably stay there, despite what they say.

If he keeps buying those hush puppies, he might tip over! Those things are fattening!

That sounds like lunch to me.

Watch for a new market/deli to open in Rosemary Beach in April.
I think the name is Wild Olives . Let us know how it is.

Great, Rita. That's near our part of 30A. So we'll be able to ride our bikes to the deli in no time. The businesses at Rosemary Beach have been slow in coming around. There are a few, but not a lot for families yet. I know there will be more eating places, shops, and outdoor activities in the future. Looking forward to trying an outdoor concert or movie there this year.

That sounds good. Any more information on this from anybody? It's officially April, and only 46 days till we come down!!
