A stand out dish in Jacksonville, if a local brings you to Moxie, they inevitably will tell
you to order this.
Fried Chicken, Savory Waffle Pudding, Maple Mousse and Pepper Jelly
Korean Beef Short Ribs
For a fusion of flavors try Black Sheep's tasty dish including:
Bulgogi BBQ marinade, Logan Turnpike grits, Kimchi, Anson mills benne seeds, and soft boiled egg
The marinade is a Korean bbq style
The grits are straight out of Georgia
The Kimichi is house made with Napa Cabbage
Benne seeds from South Carolina
Soft boiled egg from Black Hog farm - East Palatka
Cast Iron Seared Jumbo Blue Crab Cake
An elegant choice that makes a savory statement, I love the combination of:
Apple Cider Braised Collard Greens Charred Heirloom Tomatoes, Crisp Smoked Bacon
Deviled Eggs
Always a guest favorite, each order comes with the "traditional", cobb,
and spicy hummus deviled eggs.
Dirty South Taco
I want to personally thank Flying Iguana for taking everything I love about Southern comfort food and putting it in a taco. Yum! The Dirty South Taco is loaded with:
Fried Green Tomato, Black Eyed “Peaco” de Gallo,
Pimento Cheese Sauce, and Baby Arugula
Red Fish Creole
Jaxon Social scores and A+ with this tasty Red Fish dish. Enjoy pan seared Blackened Red Fish, served over home made Asiago Cheese Grit Cakes, topped with Crawfish Tails and Southern Creole Cream Sauce. Devine!
Fried Green Tomato Sliders
I enjoyed these tasty fried green tomato sliders over brunch in Fernandina at Gilbert's Underground kitchen. The made from scratch Pimento Cheese reminded me of my childhood and added just the perfect zing and creaminess to these tiny sandwiches.
Taste of Sawgrass
Sawgrass Marriott signature restaurant Vernon's has recently undergone a major shift with the addition of Executive Chef Joe Natoli. Chef Joe has done his research and infused tons of local ingredients and regional flavors into the seasonal menu. A fine example of the Southern influence is the Taste of Sawgrass which features:
Buttermilk Biscuits, Pickled Local Vegetable, Pimento Cheese,
Boiled Peanuts and House Charcuterie, Datil Peach Marmalade Spread
Seek out these fabulous dishes before they are gone. These upscale dishes are seasonal and may not be available year around, however I have faith these incredible dining destinations will find a way to please your palate regardless of season.
Until then...
Enjoy the Journey!
