Destin in the off season!

The restaurant/bar carousal continues to turn in Destin. It was announced this week Fudpuckers on the island is moving. I heard about this several weeks ago when a friend told me he was trying to rent a building on the water but Fuds beat him to it. They have made it official they will be opening a new Fudpuckers on Hwy. 98 next to the new RV park across from the Ramada. It will have waterfront seating, a sports bar and a pizza bar all under one roof. It should open sometime in November.

Fud's in Destin

Word also came out this week the old Fish Bar in Destin is being reopened as a more casual place. They are adding a big deck overlooking the harbor too. They also hope to open sometime in November. The only constant around here is change.

Sunshine Cindy and I got out on Tuesday evening and we had Tiffany join us. We went to Landshark Pizza. Sue was cooking and Alisha was working the bar and tables. Steve and Kirby plus some other regulars were there. We had a good time and some good food. Plus with Corona’s on special for only two bucks it made for a good time out. We also got to try some smoked pork loin they will be using for sandwich specials Thursday and Friday. Make sure you by there and get one as the smoked meat was great. The highlight of the evening was when a guy came in asking if they had any hot sauce. He had bought some nuggets from Burger King and wanted some hot sauce to put on them. We all tried to talk Sue into giving him some of the Ghost Pepper sauce but she would not do it. Actually that was strange having someone come into a competing place and ask for something.

Kenny and Jan at KC's

Wednesday Sunshine Cindy and I decided to head to Ft. Walton Beach and stop at KC’s Sandbar. Owners Mike and Bev have a cool little place right in the middle of downtown Ft. Walton Beach. Jan and Kenny were there getting ready for the sunset sing-a-long that Jan is the host of. Scott and Lenny were there too and we talked to all of them. Melisa was behind the bar. It was a good crowd for a Wednesday night. We left and headed back to Destin and the harbor. We wanted to see if the Turtle was open. As we parked a big group of senior citizen types were walking down the boardwalk. I thought there must be a good crowd on the boardwalk but I was mistaken. I guess the old folks bus was leaving and so were we as the Turtle was not open. Over to Sago Sports Bar we went. Tommy showed us all the new wiring so they are ready for the new TV’s. JB was playing on the patio. A good crowd was there. We stayed for a while but had to head home as work beckoned in the morning.

More Jan

It is going to be a great weekend. A boat trip to Crab Island is in store for Saturday. Enjoy your weekend. See ya Monday!
