Heading toward Alligator Point we ended up near Panacea then Carrabelle and finally Apalachicola to grab lunch. We were hot and ravenous by the time we parked in Apalachicola, the temperatures reaching 98 plus degrees by then.
The Apalachicola Grill served many delectable lunch dishes. We both ordered grilled bay scallops with homemade baked potato salad.
The potato salad was made just like you may order a loaded baked potato - lots of sour cream, bacon and chives. Homemade hush puppies garnished the plate. I could have eaten those grilled bay scallops until I hurt myself.
This big wooden flamingo was hanging inside
Here are some pics around the town.
This pastry shop was closed...how sad. We'll have to go back.
What a fun day!
This is our ride for an upcoming vacation. Come on cool weather!
Scallops are my favorite type of seafood, hands down. I'm jealous. :)
ReplyDeleteWe had a high of 70 yesterday, 86 predicted for today and then back down to 70 tomorrow. It's a weather roller coaster ride here in Michigan!
Scallops are my favourite too and I've never heard of baked potato salad but I want some. Now!! Does it ever look and sound delicious. What a great meal and a fun day!
ReplyDeleteI can see you had a great time and lunch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place you live in. Love all those gret photos you shared with us.

Baked potato salad - gosh never heard of that! Sounds interesting and what's a hush puppy ... they're "comfortable shoes" from the 70s over here ;o)
ReplyDeleteSCALLOPS - yum, dribble any which way!!
The bike looks terrific and the scallops do too! I love driving about looking for fun new places to eat. Looks like a cute little town.
ReplyDeleteStay cool. We're still in the 90's too (and my allergies are going absolutely crazy)!
