Havana Beach Bar and Grill: Passport to Havana

April 4, 2020
By Liesel Schmidt

ROSEMARY BEACH – When it comes to creating a successful restaurant, it takes more than just a great concept or an interesting hook. It takes an understanding of the market, a keen sense of business, and – of course – a master to lead and direct the kitchen.

The Pearl Hotel’s Havana Beach Bar and Grill could not have assembled a more fitting team when they chose Executive Chef Todd Rogers to take on that role, pairing him with The Pearl’s Food & Beverage Director Kevin Dixon to bring the flavors of Cuba to the plate. After all, for a restaurant whose concept centers around the cuisine of such a passionate culture, it requires the skill of someone with an equally matched passion for cooking. The menu of food and drinks offer enough complexity and flavor to make every bite and sip an experience to remember.

Havana Beach fritters — Havana Beach Bar & Grill is a AAA 4-Diamond Restaurant and Florida Trend Golden Spoon Award winner.

Havana Beach’s menu is, in fact, a little taste of the Old Town Havana so beloved by Ernest Hemingway, blended with the local flavors of the Emerald Coast. Food is prepared with the precision and dedication of the most skilled cigar roller, plated and presented with pride and passion. Fittingly enough, the dining room has the look and feel of a cigar room, blended with an airiness that could only come from being so very close to the sea. Here, you’ll find the perfect place to relax in the warm glow of its intimate spaces, a place where food and drink are savored like a slow sunset as a cigar burns down to the stub. To merely say that this is a restaurant would be to discredit it, to disrespect all that is offered when a dish is prepared by the hands of a chef as impassioned as Chef Rogers.

“We want our dining experience to entice all of the senses, from the very first moment our guests are greeted and have that carry through in each and every course they enjoy.”
– Executive Chef Todd Rogers

“We want our dining experience to entice all of the senses, from the very first moment our guests are greeted and have that carry through in each and every course they enjoy,” said Rogers, whose 30 years as a chef have allowed him to explore the world through its food. And at Havana Beach, the diner has the very great honor of being his guest on a trip to Cuba, without ever having to leave their table.

Not surprisingly, favorites include Coastal Seafood Fritters and Local Caught Grouper as well as some of their newest Latin-inspired creations such as the Three Little Pigs pork sampler and Hemingway’s Mariscos – a mouth-watering array of local fish and seafood served with spicy chorizo and zucchini. Perfect for anyone looking for something on the lighter side is the Havana Beach Salad, though Rogers insists that their decadent desserts are not to be missed.

“Our pastry chef is fabulous, so we have been able to extend our pastry and fresh bread offerings,” he said.

“We’re passionate about what we do and want to create an experience that exceeds everyone’s expectations,” Rogers continued. “To do that, we make the majority of all our menu items in-house or work closely with local and regional purveyors to ensure that we get the freshest, most locally sourced ingredients possible, and that shines through in the quality and flavor of the dishes we present. It’s a special experience to have a Gulf-front restaurant that’s truly serving a taste of place beyond just seafood, and we’re very proud of that.”

So, too, are they proud of their beverage program, offering creative, seasonally inspired, handcrafted cocktails that engage all of the senses in addition to a curated wine and beer selection that pairs perfectly with the cuisine.

In as much as each spice and sauce flavors the food at Havana Beach Bar & Grill, so does it reveal talent and pride and quality, taking the diner on an adventure and leaving them looking forward to their next trip back.

Havana Beach Bar and Grill is located in The Pearl Hotel, 63 Main Street, Rosemary Beach. Open daily for breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m.; lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Open daily for dinner 5 to 10 p.m. Bar hours run 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. with a daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. Reservations not accepted.

FOOW: New fish, same waters

Blog, Home Page Blog

March 30, 2020
By Liesel Schmidt

WATERCOLOR – A reincarnation – or reimagining, perhaps – of the restaurant previously known as Fish Out of Water, FOOW officially opened in June 2018 with a new look, a new menu, and a newly refreshed dedication to providing guests with something unique and an atmosphere unlike any other. Find yourself captivated by the view, a landscape framed by massive windows that run along every exterior wall of the expansive, open-plan dining room to welcome in breezes and spill the sunlight that glitters on the Gulf just outside. Whether you take a seat at a table on their outdoor deck or stay inside, this is one restaurant where fantastic views are as much a part of the menu as any of the spectacular dishes created in the kitchen.

Avocado flatbread — The Avocado Flatbread brings together a symphony of color and flavor.

Magically balancing elegance with a certain air of coastal casualness, they manage to keep the atmosphere bright, airy, and approachable rather than stuffily inaccessible. Reflective of that is their menu, offering a collection of dishes whose Southern roots call to mind Sundays at home, family tradition, and comfort food – just elevated to a new level.

“We felt the need to create a casual and ‘easy’ environment for full families to enjoy in our area, where people are coming to experience the beach and that coastal lifestyle.”
– Matt Moore, executive chef

“We felt the need to create a casual and ‘easy’ environment for full families to enjoy in our area, where people are coming to experience the beach and that coastal lifestyle,” said Executive Chef and Food & Beverage Director Matt Moore. “We invite flip-flops and guests directly off the beach, yet we do it keeping the integrity of what we stand for.”

Named “Chef of the Year” in 2017 by the American Culinary Federation, Moore has more than a decade of experience leading acclaimed food and beverage programs at luxury properties throughout the South, and that level of skill is clearly evident in all that he does.

Filet — The 6-ounce beef filet comes with choice of sauce and side, two hushpuppies, and seasonal vegetables.

Perfect for a casual lunch, FOOW serves up a selection of salads, sandwiches, buckets, and tacos, not to mention their signature artisan breads – all of which put an undeniably unique spin on things. Paying delicious homage to the South, the Sweet Tea Chicken Sandwich features succulent chicken breast topped with arugula, tomato, and house-made pickles nestled in a buttery brioche bun, then slathered with Sweet Tea Bourbon Glaze and served fried to crunchy perfection or grilled.

As the sun begins to set, dinner options dive into deeper waters and run further afield, offering entrees for every predilection – be it land or sea – whose exquisite flavors play perfectly in harmony with the views unfolding all around. For a true taste of local beauty, try Whole Boat Line-Caught Snapper, or bite into bayou country with Louisiana Gulf Shrimp.

“Casual environments often lead some to believe that it requires a less talented force to execute, yet we’ve been successful in overcoming that stereotype,” Moore said. “Our menu is locally sourced, always fresh, and always made creatively in-house, with a passion that’s really representative of who we are as a team.”

In saying so, Chef Moore does not speak out of turn, nor does he offer up false promises of what one might expect to see gracing their plates. Expertise, creativity, and an acute awareness of the importance of presentation, flavor profiles, and technique are clear in every aspect of the menu, regardless of what’s on order. From appetizer to entrée to that last sweet kiss of one of their decadent, imaginative desserts, FOOW is everything one would wish for in a restaurant so ideally situated – and these waters are definitely worth diving into.

FOOW is located at WaterColor Inn, 34 Goldenrod Circle, Santa Rosa Beach. Open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; FOOWBar is open daily 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. with daily Happy Hour from 3 to 5 p.m. Reservations not accepted. For more information, call 850-534-5050 or visit www.FOOW30A.com.

Bud and Alley’s: Creating a culinary empire

Blog, Home Page Blog

March 27, 2020
By Laura Holloway

SEASIDE – You instantly like Dave Rauschkolb when you meet him, recognizing him as a true local. Unpretentious and friendly, he’s a surfer, explorer, family man, community advocate and activist who just happens to be the genius behind some of 30A’s most successful and longstanding restaurants: Bud and Alley’s, Taco Bar, and Pizza Bar.

Fate may have set the ball rolling for Rauschkolb’s restaurant career, but a hard work ethic and determined drive for greatness have made him a leader in the game for decades and inspired others to forge their own paths toward entrepreneurial success.

Bud & Alley's brunch — Bud and Alley’s: from brunch to lunch and dinner, too!

The flagship

Bud and Alley’s – which is described as South Walton’s longest-established restaurant – found its beginnings as the result of a fateful happening between Rauschkolb, his former business partner and chef, Scott Witcoski, and Seaside founder Robert Davis, a meeting that literally happened while Rauschkolb and Witcoski were driving down 30A on their way to surf in Panama City.

Today, more than 30 years later, Bud and Alley’s flagship restaurant is one of the most desired locations for dining in the area, memorable by food and drink, a classic and classy dining environment, and a rooftop deck that hosts a sunset celebration packed most every night of the year. The ringing of a brass bell signals the setting of the sun each day, and the simplicity of this tradition all at once awakens and soothes the soul, reminding visitors and locals of the very reason the 30A area is so special.

Bud and Alley’s motto is “Good food. Good people. Good times.” and these words are reflected across the mentality of the staff, the atmosphere of the restaurant, and, of course, the flavors of the menu, offered for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Breakfast serves up traditional plates like a Southern Style Breakfast with two eggs, wheat toast, grits or steak fries and sausage or bacon, as well as coastal starters like Shrimp and Grits with cremini mushrooms, sweet peppers, veal reduction and bacon.

Lunchtime offers a Half Pound of Boiled Shrimp with cocktail sauce and remoulade; BBQ Head-On Shrimp with andouille sausage, garlic, rosemary, and white wine served with Tuscan bread; and a Grilled Chicken Breast and Portobello Melt sandwich, with cherrywood smoked bacon, aged provolone, and Duke’s mayonnaise served on a ciabatta bun.

Of course the dinner menu shines with the Grilled Gulf Fish of the Day (served with baby lima bean and sweet corn succotash, basmati rice, and lemon aioli), BBQ Braised Pork Shank (served with cauliflower mash and crispy sweet potato), and a 16-ounce certified Angus Prime New York Strip (with grilled asparagus, smoked bacon mash, and chimichurri sauce).

Bud & Alley's Taco Bar — Bud and Alley’s Taco Bar brings Mexican flavors to Seaside.

Bringing new flavors to town

The success and popularity of Bud and Alley’s inspired the opening of Taco Bar and Pizza Bar, each offering fresh, inventive dining options of Mexican and Italian fare, respectively.

“There was no Mexican food in Walton County at the time. And there was a little place right there next to Bud and Alley’s and I thought, ‘Let’s open a taco bar!” Taco Bar, an order-at-the-counter spot offering south-of-the-border favorites like Baja fish tacos, homemade guacamole, burritos, top shelf margaritas and cold beer, is an ideal place for those traveling to and from the beach.

“A short time after the opening of Taco Bar, Robert asked me to look at a nearby location for a potential Italian restaurant, and I really didn’t want to do it at first,” Rauschkolb recalled. “I felt like I had too much going on. But he persuaded me by taking me to California to a string of pizza places. No one was doing authentic wood-fired, Naples-style pizza and Italian food, and I wanted to fill that void.”

Bud & Alley's Pizza Bar — Bud and Alley’s Pizza Bar & Trattoria serves Neapolitan wood-fired pizza and house made pastas.

Pizza Bar opened shortly after, which offers sit-down meal service as well as service at the bar. Delivering its own memorable flavors, Pizza Bar serves an Antipasti Board (wood-fired vegetables, cured meats, house cheese and Black Bear sourdough), Grassfed Beef Meatballs (with marinara, parmesan, chili flakes and honey), and a mouthwatering selection of wood-fired pizzas available for in-house diners and those looking for a simpler takeout experience.

The “Red Pies” selections include the San Marzano (with garlic, arugula, pecorino, and olive oil), The Vegan (with Violife vegan mozzarella, broccolini, red onion, and kalamata olives), and the Prosciutto di Parma (with prosciutto ham, arugula, and fresh mozzarella). “White Pies” offer the Farmer’s Market (with fresh seasonal vegetables), the Clam Pie (with Cedar Key clams, parmigiano-reggiano, parsley, chili, and fresh mozzarella), and the Quattro Formaggi, or Four-Cheese Pizza, which boasts mozzarella, fontina, parmigiano-reggiano, gorgonzola, and pickled red onion. Diners can also create their own pizza from an assortment of toppings.

Each of Rauschkolb’s restaurants sources local ingredients whenever possible, including GreenMans Gardens, Inland Seafood, City Produce, Louisiana Lagniappe, Covey Rise Farms, and Black Bear Bread Co., the latter of which Rauschkolb created with business partner and Chef Phil McDonald.

Bud and Alley’s, Taco Bar, and Pizza Bar can be found at 2236 E. Co. Hwy. 30A in Seaside. Bud and Alley’s is open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and reservations can be made online at budandalleys.com or by calling 850-231-5900. Taco Bar is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and more information can be found by visiting budandalleys.com/taco-bar or by calling 850-231-4781. Pizza Bar is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and can be reached by visiting budandalleyspizzabar.com or by calling 850-231-3113.

Café Thirty-A: Unchanging goodness in an ever-changing landscape

Blog, Home Page Blog

March 20, 2020
By Meredith Houston Carr

SEAGROVE BEACH – With its pure white sugar sands and crystal clear emerald waters, it’s no surprise 30A has grown into a sought-after destination that captures the hearts of millions, year after year. But with all the changing landscapes and dining options, some things never change – like the food, warmth, and welcome of Café Thirty-A.

Cafe Thirty-A offers four menus including dinner, dessert, children’s and bar.

Opening its doors in 1995 a stone’s throw away from those emerald-green waters, Café Thirty-A has managed to stay “consistently delicious since we opened our doors,” said owner Harriet Crommelin, who has watched the area burst with development.

With all that growth, Café Thirty-A continues to draw a crowd, and it’s not hard to see why: festive palm trees greet you at the front door, providing the idyllic coastal welcome into a dining experience that delights. White linen-covered tables bathed in warm, low light under spacious ceilings create an enchanting atmosphere for a decadent meal, crafted with patrons in mind.

“We know our customers, and we know them well,” acknowledged Crommelin.

Authentic beginnings, time-tested results

After 13 years in land-locked Montgomery, Ala., Crommelin packed up and headed South.

“I wanted to be at the beach,” she said, explaining how she sought out and found the perfect tract of land to build on. Soon after, Café Thirty-A opened its doors and began the journey to becoming one of 30A’s most established restaurants.

The Charcuterie & Cheese Board at Cafe Thirty-A is legendary.

Through 25 years of operation, Café Thirty-A has remained steadfast in offering its highly acclaimed menu of contemporary eclectic seafood, steaks, and wood-oven pizzas, all complemented by an award-winning wine list and topped off with mouth-watering desserts, best described by Crommelin as “hedonistic.”

Whether you’re planning to celebrate a special occasion or looking to unwind over an exotic martini, you can count on “really good food and really good service,” Crommelin explained with confidence. “We’re a great fit for any special occasion. We also have a lot of locals who come for $5 martinis on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.”

Fine dining among the comfort of friends

While the quality of Café Thirty-A’s food remains constant, the menu changes almost daily to reflect the fresh seasonal bounty of the ocean, as well as the creative mind of Executive Chef Tim Williams.

Joining the team in July 2018, you won’t find Williams tossing pots or pans across the kitchen; rather, his laidback approach creates harmony in the kitchen and on the plate.

“He’s just a really good guy, and an excellent chef,” said Crommelin. With decades of experience and a resume brimming with variety, Williams unleashes his creativity on the fresh, local seafood to bring diners a menu that satisfies, night after night.

Some menu creations, however, are long-standing and simply non-negotiable – and for good reason.

“Our grits never touch water – they’re made with half and half, and they’re exceptionally good.” – Harriet Crommelin, owner

“Our grits never touch water – they’re made with half and half,” said Crommelin, “and they’re exceptionally good.”

And while everything on the menu is a hit, the tuna poke has been around since day one.

“We’ve had three chefs since we opened, but the tuna stays the same,” Crommelin said firmly. So too the crab cakes, a huge hit with diners and the result of Crommelin’s own recipe. “I’ve been making them with this recipe for at least 20 years. They are mostly crab meat and just a little bit of mayonnaise.”

No matter how 30A grows and changes, one thing’s for sure: Café Thirty-A will continue serving up delicious food and excellent service in a warm and welcoming environment.

“We have that neighborhood bar feeling,” she said with satisfaction – the kind of satisfaction that lets you know Café Thirty-A will continue to be a fan favorite for years to come.

Café Thirty-A is located at 3899 East Scenic Highway 30A, Seagrove Beach, and is open daily for dinner at 5 p.m., with “Buy One Get One Free” entrees from 5 to 6 p.m. Reservations are recommended and accepted online or by phone. For more information, call 850-231-2166 or visit www.cafethirtya.com.

Tequila and Taco Fest salsas to Seascape

Blog, Home Page Blog

Culinary event enjoyed by record crowds at new venue

Special to 30A Food and Wine
March 14, 2020

MIRAMAR BEACH – Tequila and Taco aficionados celebrated under a sunny blue sky at Seascape Towne Centre in Miramar Beach March 7. The large and lively crowd donned sombreros and smiles while they sampled tequilas, margaritas and danced to authentic Latin music by the popular band, Meringue 4.

Dozens of different styles of tacos were served, from ahi tuna to classic carnitas from over 16 local restaurants. Tortillas were tossed (for charity) and the Tortilla Toss Champion, Kevin Cornwell, threw a tortilla 217 feet.

Tortilla toss — At three tosses for $1, the Tortilla Toss competition benefitted the Boys and Girls Club.

It was a colorful celebration of Latin libations and entertainment. The annual event has continued to attract culinary talent to compete in this fiery contest for the Best Taco on the Beach, as voted on by a panel of celebrity judges. The new venue at The Seascape Towne Centre proved to be the perfect place for the festival, which it had outgrown at the previous location on the Destin Harbor.

Tacos — Restaurants competed for the title of Best Taco on the Beach.

Best Taco

1. Jackacuda’s Seafood & Sushi

2. Stanley’s Street Treats

3. La Cocina

4. Acme Oyster House

The kick-off party was held at Mezcal Mexican Grill on Friday, the main event was on Saturday, and an after party at The Village Door Music Hall featuring a concert by Eli Young Band. The tasty weekend was topped off with a brunch at Acme Oyster House.

“The entire weekend was phenomenal, the weather was perfect, the energy was high. We are so grateful for the support from locals and visitors alike! We could not be more pleased with the turn out,” explained Carlos Shaffran, Extreme Festivals and Events and producer of the event.

Taco girls — The seventh Tequila and Taco Festival moved to Seascape Towne Centre this year.

This event was a benefit for Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, Inc. A check presentation will be scheduled later this month. The festival organizers wish to thank the hundred plus of volunteers that worked tirelessly to help support the event.

“We were pleased to partner with our friends hosting this fun, annual event,” said Mia Hughes, executive director of Fisher House of The Emerald Coast Inc. “Approximately 120 volunteers contributed a labor of love, and coupled with those who enjoyed the event through ticket purchases, the proceeds will go a long way in keeping our military families together during a medical event at our comfort home on Eglin AFB.”

South Walton Beaches wine fest cancelled

Blog, Home Page Blog

Director cites national recommendations, ‘abundance of caution’

March 13, 2020
Courtesy of Stacey Brady, executive director
South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival. This is not a decision we made lightly, yet in light of the national and state recommendations to not hold large-scale events, we are following their directives.

At this time, we do not have a specific issue with the COVID-19 virus in our area, however; we believe the prudent choice is to not hold our festival – which attracts more than 5,000 – out of an abundance of caution.

Our sister event and the recipient of our festival proceeds, Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation, has postponed their immensely popular auction until Aug. 22. This is great news since their auction fundraising is critical to support 16 charities in Northwest Florida. Their event takes place in a huge air-conditioned tent that is very comfortable. Unfortunately, the significant heat and humidity we get here at the beach in August is not conducive to an outdoor wine event.

We are currently working with our ticket agency on refund messaging. We are planning a great incentive to induce ticket holders to keep their tickets which will be good for next year’s festival.

We are disappointed, too! We are also very grateful to our long-time attendees, distributors, suppliers, vendors and especially our sponsors and founding partners. We will be contacting sponsors and ticket holders shortly with options.

A very special thank you to our very sad festival staff who are actually the best staff in the world!

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to presenting a fabulous charity wine festival for 2021.

Sincerely,

Stacey Brady

Spell Restaurant Group offers 30A area five dining options

March 13, 2020
By Laura Holloway

Anyone who has had the Spicy Salt and Pepper Shrimp from George’s at Alys Beach knows why patrons return again and again. Diners who sample the freshly made guacamole from La Cocina or the Smokehouse Scramble from Grits & Grind quickly add these fares to their list of favorite dishes. And guests who taste the Pasta Del Mar from La Crema or the Lobster Baked Oysters from Edward’s Fine Food & Wine can easily understand what it means to taste a little bit of heaven.

Edward's — Edward’s Fine Food & Wine in Rosemary Beach offers the unbeatable partnership of a “vibrant and entertaining setting” and a killer menu.

But many don’t realize that these celebrated eateries are part of one family, or how that family continues to deliver quality and taste in each of its restaurant offerings. Spell Restaurant Group, co-owned by Rick Spell and his daughter Christy Spell Terry, have created an empire of food delight, and anyone lucky enough to dine at one of these fine food establishments is truly lucky enough.

It all started for the Spells in 2004 in Memphis, when Rick and Christy first partnered to purchase Brookhaven Pub & Grill. Each had a strong business background (Rick as a managing director at Raymond James and Christy as a corporate accountant at Shelby Group International), but once the restaurant bug had bitten, there was no turning back.

George's at Alys Beach — George’s at Alys Beach gives diners two menus: Behave and Misbehave.

Christy went all-in, leaving the “day job” behind in 2011 to pursue the restaurant business full time, and they set their sights on the 30A restaurant scene, recognizing the uniqueness of the area and its ability to attract talented chefs and true foodies.

“Being in a small, rural part of northwest Florida, it would be easy for one to dismiss 30A and its food scene, but this is certainly not the case!” she explained. “From Destin to PCB, this 24-mile scenic corridor is teeming with quality restaurants serving some of the most inventive food you will find in the Southeast.

Grits and Grind in Seacrest Beach is open for the earlier riser and breakfast lover.

“The chefs who work on 30A know that their customers demand quality food using only the freshest ingredients possible. This is the cornerstone at each of our restaurants, and we believe that it helps to make this area truly special.”

Their first 30A restaurant purchase happened in 2015 with George’s at Alys Beach, followed by Saltwater Grill in Panama City. The 30A growth continued with the acquisition of La Cocina, followed by La Crema Tapas & Chocolate in Rosemary Beach in 2016. But 2017 saw the biggest step for the duo when they opened their first restaurant from concept to completion: Grits & Grind in Seacrest Beach. The Spells purchased Edward’s Fine Food & Wine in 2017, and since then have been working to renovate and revamp several of these locations.

Speaking of revamping, George’s at Alys Beach just completed a window-filled addition to their location.

“It gives us better ability to give our guests better temperature conditions, but still have access to outside air if the weather is appropriate,” Christy said.

La Cocina features unique takes on classic Latin dishes, each made from scratch.

Recipe for success

What contributes to their success in setting Spell Restaurant Group apart?

“We are a father-daughter team who treats our team members as well as our guests: like family. We are blessed to work with so much talent and love watching them grow and learn every day,” she admitted. “It’s important to us to listen and learn from our team as well and give them the best tools we can for them to do their jobs well.”

With each restaurant having its own menu, atmosphere and vibe, the Spells know not only the value of putting the right people in charge of each, but also assuring that the teams share a similar work ethic, love of the food, and appreciation for the guests.

The Spells have continued to build each restaurant to greatness because they live by a very simple motto.

“People make the difference,” Christy said. “We are very proud of the unique and diverse staffs who work with us, and they are truly what makes each of our restaurants special. By hiring good people who care about the food they prepare and the service they provide, we know that visitors to and locals of 30A will leave our restaurants happy. We also sell fun and strive to give our guests a unique experience every time they walk into one of our restaurants.”

Meet the restaurants

Each of the Spell Group restaurants delivers its own flavor and personality. La Cocina is described as a “Latin-inspired restaurant with a coastal twist” and features unique takes on classic Latin dishes, each made from scratch using fresh ingredients, many locally sourced when available. Christy recommends the Ribeye Asado (barrel cut ribeye, red chimichurri, green chili whipped potatoes, cotija cheese, and roasted baby carrots).

George’s at Alys Beach has been well-loved in the area since opening its doors, and their dishes fall into two categories: Behave and Misbehave, meaning there is something for the organic, health-conscious diner as well as the diner looking for traditional beach food in all its fried glory.

La Crema Tapas & Chocolate in Rosemary Beach offers a truly unique experience, with a focus on not only delectable entrees like Christy’s favorite, the Seafood Paella (lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, mussels, red onion, piquillo peppers, and chorizo with saffron rice), but also on exquisite chocolate experiences and flavorful desserts, as well as an extensive wine menu. What’s not to love?

Then, for the earlier riser and breakfast lovers, Grits and Grind in Seacrest Beach packs a powerful morning punch with sumptuous choices like “The Next Morning Benedict,” a biscuit with chopped sausage and gravy, topped with two over medium eggs, hollandaise, diced tomato and green onion.

Finally, Edward’s Fine Food & Wine in Rosemary Beach sets the scene for a memorable night out with the unbeatable partnership of a “vibrant and entertaining setting” and a killer menu. Christy’s favorite, Snake River Braised Pork Shank features a sorghum-mustard glaze, butternut squash puree, and bacon braised kale. The rest of the colorful, mouthwatering menu makes clear why every table at Edward’s is typically taken.

The Spells have clearly mastered the art of the dish, providing one-of-a-kind dining experiences that keep their patrons coming back again and again.
