1st?

I hope so too. It would be my third time down to 30A and Destin area this year, but my wife would literally never say no to another trip there. I know the other thread had fry wars (can’t believe nobody mentioned Gene’s and Jude’s—best fries and hot dogs around), but The Red Bar in Grayton...

Lol must’ve been Chin on the scout for St. Peter’s.
