Tales from the Road: Discovering New Restaurants to Add to the Rotation

(Due to technical difficulties, Tales from the Road was delayed)
 
     
It was decision time. Should I have she-crab soup from Firefly? Oh, wait a minute – look at those hush puppies at Pier 77! Now, those look good. Wonder if I can just have an order (or two) of those? There’s the Boatyard, but oh no, they didn’t bring their frozen key lime pie on a stick, but their shrimp and grits martini sounds quite interesting.
But wait -  there’s more to see.
Oh, look, there’s Hammerhead Fred’s, and what’s that over there? Someone serving the “original Krabby Patties.”

Tales from the Road: Restaurant Traditions at the Beach

(Due to technical difficulties, Tales from the Road was delayed)
Just as I returned home from one trip, I had a few days to rest before I was on the road again. Since I has heading to the beach, Panama City Beach, Fla., to be exact, I wasn’t complaining. Regardless of the time of the year, I’m always in the mood for a trip to the beach. See, my thought is you can never travel to the beach enough. And this was going to be a great trip because I was going to be here for the Panama City Beach Seafood, …read more

Tales from the Road: There’s Always Time for a Seafood Dinner While at the Beach

Tales from the Road: There’s Always Time for a Seafood Dinner While at the Beach

During the last evening of my Hilton Head Island, S.C., getaway, I enjoyed the much required seafood dinner. Honestly, you can’t leave any beach with having seafood at least once (or in my case, many times.)
One of my favorite places is the Old Oyster Factory. One thing unique about the restaurant is that it’s built on the location of an old oyster cannery. You also can’t get any better than here when it come to views from the restaurant. The style of the restaurant allows for water views  and sunset watching.
When it comes to the menu, the appetizer …read more
