Restaurant news from around the state: Criolla, at Rosemary Beach, has closed. Chef/owner Johnny Earles and his wife Debbie are going into catering and private events, etc., for the Panhandle crowds. I’m sorry to see this happen — it was always a favorite stop on my way to Pensacola, and the place to recommend for a [...]

Coastal Calif.: Seals, Surfers and Seaside Pumpkins
October 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Vacation at last: My first since leaving The Post. We got a great last-minute, five-day deal through my Amex card; one of the joys of no

August 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments
Every year, the members of the Association of Food Journalists meet in a different city at an annual conference (upcoming in October, in Houston, Texas). We worry about the state of the industry (critical this year); we brainstorm ideas for stories, investigate food trends, listen to expert speakers – and do a city on our stomachs.

I was in Stuart today, talking to Marilyn Bauer, features editor of The Stuart News. I hope we’ll be working together eventually on some food coverage up there.
Marilyn recommended Amy’s Organic Gourmet Market and Cafe on Indian Street for lunch, so I decided to give it a shot. It’s terrific!
The roasted beet and root vegetable [...]
