Best Thai food: Royal Orchid $$
Best family Italian: Angelina's $$
Best steak: Pandora's $$$
Best seafood: it's funny that we don't have a superb seafood restaurant but many restaurants that do seafood very well. I prefer to buy mine raw and cook it up myself mostly.

Some favorites - Cafe Tango, Bloom's Cafe, Piccolo's Restaurant (aka The Red Bar http://graytonbeach.com/redbar.html), Basmati's, The 3-Thirty-1 http://www.graytonbeach.com/the331, Smiling Fish, Fish Out of Water http://www.graytonbeach.com/fishoutofwater, Luna Del Mar, The Donut Hole.

If I've left anyone off it may be because I haven't eaten at your restaurant and you should call me and invite me before I start writing my reviews.

The scooterbug fave is the rosemary skewered scallops over tasso grits or the grilled shrimp salad.

Blue Orleans should start a thread to announce the bands playing that week/night.

thanks for the tip--i've never eaten at Blue Orleans! I'll have to go there and check them out asap.... if anyone thinks of any others that might be under the radar, please let me know! i'm trying to build a list of local favs on my website (www.30A.com) ... i know it's all very subjective and there are a lot of great choices out there, but i really want to make an effort to give the "right people" some much-deserved business.... (just in case it matters to anyone, fyi, my site's a totally non-commercial venture...i do it just for fun)....

Have you ever had Redneck Riviera Shrimp or a Grayton Beach Julep? In the late 60's and early 70's I was a fixture around the old graffiti painted store at Grayton Beach. Alas, after high school (Walton Sr., '72) I wandered off and got lost. Oh, I do visit from time to time. But when I'm not around my beloved beaches in the summer I fix myself some RR Shrimp and a cold GB Julep. Try 'em! [SIZE=+2]

Folks, I am so sorry but I got sooooooo many hits on my (Poor) website that we temporarily got lost - however, we're back up but with new recipes! For those of you who missed it here is the recipe for Grayton Beach Juleps!

[SIZE=+1] May I suggest a . . .
[/SIZE][SIZE=+2] Grayton Beach Julep [/SIZE]
3 tsp. instant tea
1 (12 oz.) can frozen orange juice
1 (12 oz.) can frozen lemonade
1-1/2 c. sugar
1 c. water
2 c. whiskey
10-12 Mint Sprigs
Mix all together well. Freeze in two containers.
(One half tonight, the rest tomorrow a.m.)
When ready scoop out slush and fill glass 1/2 full,
top off with 7-Up and a fresh sprig. Very tasty.

Enjoy!
