Last week, I arrived in Destin, Florida to do my summer internship at the Emerald Grande Resort. As I drive over the bridge from Fort Walton Beach into Destin each morning and carefully peak my eyes just past the bridge railing through my car window, I find myself melting into the emerald green gulf.
After working and living here for a week, I am still on my way to finding what people eat in a town surrounded by lush coastline. Let's consider the area: Northwest Florida. A very southern vibe, a deep sense of comfort and hospitality... and of course SEAFOOD.
I've noticed the comfortable and casual feel of all the restaurants here. Always live music, outside decks, and friendly faces. Very unpretentious and I love it. I haven't really been in the mood to cook. The atmosphere here is so laid back that all of us kind of just go with the flow and often times we are so busy working or beaching it that we don't even think about food.. which is certainly new for me!
