Pursue the Roux in South Walton

We hope you had a fabulous Valentine’s Day. I took the wife to visit Chef Kevin Korman at Roselie Dining and Seafood Bar in Inlet Beach at 30Avenue. Chef Kevin is one of the many talented chefs here in South Walton. If you haven’t been to Roselie, go soon before the spring break crowds get here. I highly recommend starting with a few items from the seafood bar. We loved the lobster on the brioche bun…so much so that we ordered seconds!!!! Anyway, go see chef Kevin and his lovely wife Angela and tell them Phil at 30a Food and Wine sent you!

Bakersfield Mist- Sunday February 19th at 2pm – Grand Blvd

Venture out to Grand Boulevard on Sunday for the afternoon performance of “Bakersfield Mist” at the Emerald Coast Theatre Company. Bakersfield Mist is described* as a “hilarious, inspired by true events comedy-drama, following unemployed bartender Maude, and art expert Lionel Percy, as they begin to question the true definition of art and the authenticity of people.

Maude, a fifty-something unemployed bartender living in a trailer park, has bought a painting for a few bucks from a thrift store. Despite almost trashing it, she’s now convinced it’s a lost masterpiece by Jackson Pollock worth millions. But when world-class art expert Lionel Percy flies over from New York and arrives at her trailer home in Bakersfield to authenticate the painting, he has no idea what he is about to discover.

The show starts at 2pm and runs 80 minutes with no intermission. $25 Adults, $20 Seniors, $15 Students, plus a $2 facility fee.
