Johnny Earles Surfaces

[Abby Prentiss]

Johnny ran Criolla's for years, which was one of the most successful restaurants in the area. He gave it up to chase the real estate dollar at the wrong time. His company, 30A Resorts, ended up in the hands of another real estate company. Looks like he is re-entering the culinary world.

Seagar's Prime Steaks & Seafood has announced a culinary collaboration with Johnny Earles.
Johnny Earles' roots in Northwest Florida go back to 1983, when he opened his first restaurant, Paradise Café, in downtown Grayton Beach, where the Red Bar is currently located. Within a short period of time Earles gained national attention with the Washington Post, which named Paradise Café the best restaurant between Atlanta and New Orleans.

I remember when Johnny had Paradise Cafe in Grayton (with no A/C) and then moved it to FWB on the sound.

He has been successful in each of his ventures........good things happen to talented people!

Congratulations Johnny returning to your roots and doing what you love!

I loved Johnny's cooking. Best in the area for a very long time. Miss it dearly and especially his Caesar Salad. Wish he would open up something on 30A.
