Chef Jim Shira - Dewey Destin Seafood
Posted in: From the Grill
In his post as chef at Dewey Destin Seafood, Jim Shira has immersed himself in both local history and excellent seafood. With two locations, the restaurant is the result of a family seafood business that goes back to the very founding of the city long known as a fishermen’s paradise along the Florida Panhandle. Owner Dewey Destin is the great, great grandson of city “father” Leonard Destin, a native of Connecticut who sailed to the area in 1835 in search of pristine fishing grounds and later established a successful commercial fishing operation. Chef Shira, a Destin native himself, received his culinary training in France, but eventually made his way home to work with...Read More

We humans love eating fish. It’s something primal that goes back to the days when we fashioned spears out of sticks, and hooks from bones. Unfortunately, modern man has figured out a lot of ways to make fish inedible. And I’m not talking about Aunt Martha’s baked mullet recipe. Chemical factories, oil spills, and industrial discharges have threatened the scaly animal that tastes so good on my grill and has so many health benefits. We fish eaters just have one question: Is it too much to ask to be able to eat fish and not worry about it?...Read More
The Chef Behind the Original Guy Harvey’s Island Grill – Chef Bruno
Posted in: From the Grill
First thing you’ll notice about Chef Bruno, in addition to being a born explorer, is he is a bona fide French chef. For this pedestrian Southern-bred gal, I could hardly contain my delight. In my world, I was speaking with Chef Hubert Keller himself, and in Chef Bruno I found charm, humility, and a self-effacing personality I admire from afar regarding Chef Keller....Read More
