... not in the restaurant business yet! Although I'm overdue for reciprocating to some neighbors by giving a big party.

Come to my house. I'll cook for you so that we won't be subjected to fast food on 30-A.

I thought you were cooking lunch? I am just trying to decide when to show up.

You're hilarious! I'm in GA right now.

I've been known to travel great distances for great food. Georgia is not a great distance in my book -- it is walking distance.

The D&K Cafe in Old Grayton Beach, across from The Red Bar and upstairs. Can't beat the food, the prices, and the ambience. You can sit outside with a nice view of the Gulf and a breeze. Their gumbo, fish salad and fish sandwiches are the best I've had anywhere. We also get a double order of the boiled shrimp for the table. Had my husband's birthday party there and Doug did a great job for our group of 36 people. They are the favorite of all our guests at Grayton and everyone goes home with a D&K tee-shirt. During the off season, open for lunch and weekend nights only. During season, lunch and dinner daily. (D&K stands for Doug and Kathy, the owners.) A great place!

Yum Yum!!! One of the best times for me at D&K's is to sit outside in January and slurp down some of the delicious gumbo! We also like the gumbo at Hurricane's, but sure miss the rice! I guess it's low-carb!!! Is gumbo w/ or w/o rice a debate like chili w/ or w/o beans?

Remember D&K when they were located in the Cafe Tango spot? Love Cafe Tango, too!

Kathy, THANKS SO MUCH for the info on the names!! It's a brilliant system, of course!!
No wonder I couldn't figure it out. Can't wait to get mine changed!!

You are the captain of your ship!!! Ask RO (not Ro!...might need a new name RO!) how to up your posts...he is the master!

Gumbo w/o rice is not gumbo. What could they be thinking! :shock:

Cafe Tango is currently one of my top one or two favorites. "Southof30A Grille" is my other.

That's what I thought! It is truly a tasty broth, but gumbo with rice is much more nice!!! Solution # 1: Buy their gumbo to go...add rice at home and dig in! Solution # 2: Hand them a box of rice when ordering and tell them of their sins!!

or Solution #3, come to my house for the best Gumbo you will ever eat. Technicaly speaking, mine is not Gumbo because I do not use okra to thicken. Instead I use a roux which gives a much richer flavor and does not present a slimey texture. Also, some good 'ole homemade cornbread goes down well with tasty Gumbo. Did I mention that I make it in big batches? It changes greatly over the 2-3 days which is in my refrigerator.
