Is it possible to melt the icy heart of the city’s biggest St. Johns Town Center grinch? With a CHAIN restaurant? All I can say is, if Seasons 52 is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

Eat Up Downtown’s purpose is clear — draw Jacksonville’s citizenry away from their favorite outlying restaurants and into downtown.  Some of the most highly regarded establishments in the city trot out their three course prix fixe menus once a year for the low, low price of $25. Galloping hordes of diners (in theory) pour into their chairs, sample the fare and establish a relationship that will last the whole year through. So, what happened at Indochine?

As a girl most comfortable in corsets and velvet, Hunt Club Subs ‘n Grill should be the polar opposite of a place I’d love. As they say, don’t judge a book by its cover.

When relatively unfettered by economy, what level of cuisine is possible? Can it be sustainable? Can it be local? Can a “normal” person buy an expensive meal and not feel robbed? Can it knock your socks off? Can you get it south of Manhattan? At Augustine Grille the answer to all of these questions is “yes.”

A large part of my life is spent looking for unique food experiences. As foodies this can lead us to the rare, expensive, difficult and fussy. But deep down we know there is a holy grail. We’re all looking for that hole-in-the-wall strip mall dive that provides nothing short of a religious experience. Psst… here it is.

It’s a question I’ve heard posed in many ways for many reasons, but – what the hell is going on with the Crab Cake Factory? I’ll try to sort it out…

South Florida favorite Pollo Tropical (say Poy-oh Trop-eh-Cal -as in Cal-ifornia) is opening November 22 at the Markets at Town Center near Toys R Us.
I headed down on Friday afternoon for a sneak peek tasting and I was pleasantly surprised.

As you may have read in the November Food News, Intuition Ale Works has fired up their craft brewery and is now selling their People’s Pale Ale to area bars and restaurants. I was lucky enough to be invited to their grand opening media event and I was blown away! Just wait until you try — the pizza? Oh, yeah…

I was invited recently to try out Roy’s Aloha Hour with bloggess extraordinare Nancy White. After several recent less-than-stellar experiences with beach restaurant happy hour menus, I was cautiously optimistic that Roy’s would deliver on their Hawaiian fantasy promises.

Ask anyone and you’ll hear it – ‘town is a Big Deal.
Snuggled into Avondale on St. Johns next to Underwood’s, it’s been described as the best new restaurant to hit Jacksonville in years.
