Had a terrible lunch at Seagrove Market Cafe yesterday. I had a salad with grilled grouper -- salad wasn't crisp and grouper tasted wet. Hubby had a fried grouper sandwich that tasted frozen -- actually it had no taste. Disappointing.

We had planned to go to Borago for dinner, but after the Gators lost :)puke:), we were in no mood to go out. We got takeout pizza from Bruno's, and it was really good -- actually, it has been for the past few months. The crust no longer tastes like Bisquick, and the salads are always fresh.

BTW I still love Amor?, but that's a different genre of pizza.

We ate there once......:roll: Nice folks but we were not impressed with the food either or the prices. I guess so close to Seaside where everything is high. I couldn't believe last time I got a $4 ice cream at that first place on the right in Seaside. They swirl it up nice and hollow all the way up. What a rip off! :eek:
:love: We keep ending up at Dan's BBQ or Thomas' Donuts for affordable ma & pop food. There's a place called The Fish Net all the way in Lynn Haven that is a real hole in the wall but yummy down home cookin' with good hushpuppies and veggies too.

We had a similar experience at Seagrove Market Cafe Friday 2/16. My husband's fried oyster sandwich was more fry than oyster, and I do believe that my grilled grouper was a frozen filet (it looked and tasted frozen). Also - the sides were served cold (how do you serve cold fried food when you aren't crowded?). It was such a disappointment because Seagrove was one of our best lunches last year - I wonder what happened to them.

We did get to Borago and it was fantastico!

Overall, though, we had a great trip that I'll post about when I get the chance. You can see our food photos from the trip at

NancyEsq, Are you a food critic or chef? I don't go to the beach only for food, BUT, you made ready to pack my bags. Such great food pics! I have tried all but Borago, can't believe I've missed it! Welcome to our new food reviewer!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! :D Ironically, as a kid, I was never interested in the kitchen - I always had a book to read. Even more ironically, I became interested in food and cooking while on the Jenny Craig diet, because they encourage you to cook for yourself. Big mistake. :blink:

So here I am years later, in the wrong career (business attorney :bang:) and enjoying my extracurricular activities a lot more than my day job - including occasional quantity cooking (up to 175 people for a meal:D), traveling, eating my way through new terrain (so much for that diet:sosad:), and now - photographing and writing about our bestest eats :clap_1: ! My partner-in-crime hubby just retired after 36 years in skilled trade, and is immersing himself in Michael Ruhlman's Charcuterie book and preparing to plant our garden!

We started visiting Destin 4 years ago, and we're considering moving down there one of these days. I was raised on the East Coast and still can't get used to the poor quality of fish and seafood we get in Cleveland - so Destin and its environs are truly a paradise for us. There were so many places we wanted to try - there was no way to squeeze them all in! But we had fabulous fish almost everywhere we went, from the most humble Dewey Destin's to the more upscale (foodwise) Cafe Tango and D&K.
