Spring Sprouts New Menu Items Around Town
Coffee Break
Amavida, Seaside and Seagrove
The simplicity of a good cup of coffee cannot be overstated. But many big-name coffee joints are often overrated. Amavida is a little, locally owned and operated coffee shop with a big heart. It serves organic, locally roasted Fair Trade coffees and teas. You can order coffees from around the world, but we, of course, love to “go local” whenever we can, so we grabbed up a 12-ounce bag of the 30A Sunrise Blend coffee beans. Pair that with gourmet dark chocolate, and you have the perfect pick-me-up. $12.95
Thai Delight’s Tom Yum Gai Matt Burke |
Lunch
Thai Delight, Destin
Spoon into a steaming bowl of Tom Yum Gai (No. 23 on the menu) and let your worries melt away. This delicious soup features savory chicken simmered in a bright, flavorful lemongrass soup with galangal, mushroom, onion, tomato, green onion and cilantro. This healthy soup is bright and light, so you can warm up without feeling weighed down. $7.95
Dinner
The Pizza Bar at Bud & Alley’s, Seaside
What could be better than making a tasty “guilty pleasure” food healthy? Chef Phil McDonald’s new Brussels Sprouts White Pizza Pie is a simple combination of freshly made hand-pressed dough topped with homemade mozzarella cheese, fresh tender Brussels sprout leaves, imported Italian pancetta, chopped garlic and a spark of chili flakes. This 11-inch Neapolitan-style pizza is baked in a wood-fired brick oven stocked with southern oak. Since you are feeling guilt-free, you can go ahead and order a bottle of wine. Bellisimo! $16
