What new restaurants do you want?

[Philip_Atlanta]

Burrito place would be great!

1) McDonalds
2) Burger King
3) Wendys

NOT kidding. What's wrong with fast food? It's fast, and it's food. To heck with trendy and hoity-toity tourist traps, we have plenty of those already. Sometimes I just want to grab a quick meal at the drive-thru for the kids. I just don't want to have to drive to Destin to do it. Nothing 'quick' about that.

I dont want a trendy and hoity-toity tourist trap either, but we definitely do not need another place that sells overly processed crap, like the franchises you mention. If you are in such a hurry to feed the kids, go back to Atlanta or wherever. My philosophy is, "relax, you're at the Beach."
I guess you also think that we need a Super Wal-ly-World conveniently located north of Grayton Beach, so that you can have cheap crapola in close proximity to your place.

Sure there are some conveniences sacrificed by not having the big franchises, but they exisit elsewhere, and unfortunately, they will be here too in the near future. I think it is a shame that we cannot try to escape from our comfort zone, even for a week or two at a time. Why not try something different for a change. Maybe you will open your child's eyes to a new world.

Preach on Brother!! :mad: Harumph!!!! :mad: Has anybody seen the move Super Size Me ? McD's laces their food with sugar and other chemicals (much like the tobacco companies) to keep you coming back, actually they keep you addicted :mad: (I'm just sure I spelt some of this rant wrong ) We live within 8 minutes of all the chains in the Nooga and I won't let my kids eat that crap either. I say keep the crap out of South Walton! Have you ever been to a Walmart? The minute you leave you get the urge to go to the trough at Ryans and eat the crap they serve ! The same stuff everybody is sneezing and burping all over ! No thank you :mad: ! Sorry if I ofended anyone

P.S. Sorry still on the Rant!! Heck! That's why we come to 30A is to get away form the stupid chain restaurants! :mad:

No need to applogize for the things you believe to be true. So many people need the instant fix to keep the kids from yelling and screaming. Reminder-- They are just kids! Kids are supposed to do that stuff. No need to shove a DVD in the player, or a Cheeseburger, Fries, and Sundae in their mouths.

I have not seen the movie, but here that it is an interesting documentary. I will put it on my list of things to view one day.

I vote for fast food that's healthy. Rice dishes, wraps, salads, sandwiches. Market good food as a healthy alternative and you'll have a built-in market. Like the Organic Cafe was in Blue Mountain. Make picnic specials for families going on or coming off the beach.

Not just a restaurants but a great market for prepared take out foods. Great pies, ribs, and honey ham to die for. Whole Food Market. www.wholefoods.com. Think of Whole Foods as a super deli with prepared foods. At least you could enjoy the beach and not have to cook. Then at least my Lab would have a little room in the SUV on the return trips from Atlanta. My wife packs so much from this market there is not enough room in the SUV for me or the poor dog. At least it would give Publix some competition. Go to their web site and request a store in our location along 30A. And my dogs says thanks.
