What new restaurants do you want?

[Lisa_at_the_beach]

We need a restaurant that, in addition to usual stuff, has a great vegetarian menu. We have MANY vegetarians and vegans in this area and there are FEW choice or places to eat. Think HEALTHY! You'd be surprised at your following.

Yes, healthy and simple would be refreshing. Good luck in whatever you choose.

Supersize Me movie

For the record, that movie changed my life and I haven't eaten at McDonald's or similar fast food chains since. I got it at Movies by the Sea by Publix. Great flick. Check it out!

I definitely think that whatever you do, it should be easy to eat on the beach and you could have distinctive boxes to put the meals in and carry to the beach (great for marketing -- e.g., red and white checked, green and white checked, etc.). Ideally food you can easily eat at the beach but wouldn't bother cooking yourself. Something people who visit would consider a tradition to get (e.g. we've only been visiting the area for 2 years and we already have the traditions of going to Seagrove village market for fried oysters, going to Angelina's for their lunchtime weekday special, going to the Red Bar -- they are must do's on every trip because we enjoy them and the kids see them as must-do traditions -- they take pride in showing friends who travel with us these places that are special traditions to them).

I could see families enjoying a take-out or eat-in fried chicken tradition with corn muffins, and other things that are special, hard to make, homey, easy to eat in or eat at the beach, and could be made with special recipes and packaging that stand out.

I'm getting hungry...

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?
