What new restaurants do you want?

Great point, Paula. People do establish traditions here. Imagine if people set the tradition of going to McDonald's when they come to the Beach. (Bad Habits are hard to break). I must have a super-size french fry, Coke, and a 1/4 #er with plastic cheese. They just are not the same back in Atlanta.

Don't forget the Diet Coke :roll:

For me, the thing about good traditions is that they are different from what we can do often (if we do it often, I think it's a routine or habit), and there's usually a nostalgia and romance about traditions (which McDonald's lacks).

Hey, I'm Italian and am romantic about traditions. The fried oysters at Seagrove market can bring tears to my eyes in part because they're so good and in part because it's a tradition to be shared only when we're at the beach with good friends and family. I think I'd feel the same way about really good fried chicken (which I wouldn't eat at home on a regular basis because it's hard to cook) and a simple and pretty picnic box that my family, friends, and I could take to the beach.

Sally's by the Sea, located in Blue Mtn Bch, has the best fried chicken in the area, possibly the SouthEast.

Should this be added to the master list in the Stickey?

I just swallowed a bite. :shock:

Perhaps, if you like fried chicken to go. I think you are going to have to stay longer or visit more frequently if your list keeps growing.

I'll be so buy trying to do and go to all the new places I've learned about from the boards I'm not sure I'll get to go to the beach

Thanks. Sounds great. I'll put it on my list of places to go when I'm there next. I hope it's good enough to bring tears to my eyes (although it does embarrass my children...).

River Otter...

I know what you mean about living within 5 minutes of all the fast food joints. I live in Nashville, 3 miles from downtown. I cant blink without seeing all of the crappy grease pits and overpriced "status stores" catering to the rich (that was a bit off topic!). Thank God there are a million little hole in the wall places that actually cook good food for you at a cheap price or I'd weigh 500 lbs.

I love the idea of a choose your own adventure burrito! Burrito's are a staple of my house. Whenever me and the housemates run out someone has to run to the store and buy a 10 pack of frozen burritos. (had 2 for dinner last night)

Im a big fan of the fresh made sandwich or burger served to you by someone who enjoys working there who knows your name and makes the sandwich just right, not thrown together. You gotta have a porch to sit on and a decent bottled beer menu also. Ok... I guess I should get some of this paperwork off my desk. Gotta love being at work!

Things will be diffrent when we open our "Irish-Mexican" Pub there. Just imagine all the interesting combo burritos we sould serve. What will we name it?

Jose McGuires :laughing1

I like it!

OH, Thank goodness Kurt....Seagrove Village Market is one of our favorite places to eat when we come down every June. I was getting ready to call them to find out for sure if they were really closing !!!!!!!

I like it!

Mexican-Irish Pub serving Tequilla, Irish Whiskey, and Jagermeister. Just imagine the stories that would be told

Or FORGOTTEN.

I like it!

How about Ian Lopez'

As funny as the Irish-Mexican pub names are, if I ever have a pub it will be called Breen's Pub. I really like the idea of being known for the best burrito in northwest Florida though!

Up in Michigan, there's a Carlos O'Kelley's.

There used to be a Carlos McGee's in Atlanta (back in the day!) That may be the reason tequila is not my drink of choice any longer. Long story......I'm still fuzzy on all the details. I get flashes of big tennis or clown shoes, sunglasses being worn at night, trenchcoats, sombreros, and either alot of people in a little car, or a whole lot of people in a big car?!?

Maybe I was at the circus??? Mike I am not sure this Mexican Irish thing is such a good idea after all!

LOL!

Ok... Ill do an Irish pub and only serve burritos and grilled cheese to locals who are in the know. How's that sound?

Speaking of pubs, its been a hell of a day here at the office. 1 hour and 40 minutes till I enjoy some home brew on the back porch or maybe hit one of the east Nashville bars. It's expensive being a single man on the hunt!

Ahhhhh.... The single days..... Oh Crap!!! :shock: Hope Graytonbound doesn't see this

Yes, the single days are good. But they are long days and require cash... I need to find a hot, mid 20's surfer girl. Can anyone help? It will garauntee you your own personal stool at Breen's Pub!!!

I must warn you about some misinformation you have. As a single man you have way, way, (excuse me while I clear my throat as to drive this point home) WAY more money than you will have with a family. Unless of course you marry some hot, mid 20's surfer girl chick that is has a trust fund

I know how the family thing works cashwise. I was married at 21 and divorced at 24. Much more cash now, but my social life takes up a lot of it. Keep your eyes peeled for that hot surfer chick with a trust fund for me!
