Recipe Inspired by the Collection of the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens and from their new cookbook: The Chef’s Canvas
“I’ve always fallen for Degas paintings because of the fabulous light. I envision him with fellow artists in the Saint Germain district of Paris sharing a meal at one of the many brasseries and bistros. Coq au vin is a very traditional and iconic dish found in these eateries of Paris and typifies what ‘starving’ artists might enjoy.”
Orsay — Unanimously Delicious
If you have never been to Orsay, or have not been for a while, it’s time to make the trek and experience one of Jacksonville’s most enjoyable restaurants.
A Family Affair
Italian food that is consistent but not-too-pricey is hard to come by in this city. That’s what makes the Mandarin staple, Enza’s Italian Restaurant, stand out – it is family-run, family-friendly, and reliably yummy.
Candy Apple Café and Cocktails — Jacksonville’s New
In Downtown Jacksonville, adjacent to Hemming Park and City Hall, stands the home of Sweet Pete’s Candy and The Candy Apple Café & Cocktails. The bright white building with the large porch and bright aqua eaves bustles with energy.
Black Sheep
The focus at the decidedly modern Black Sheep is squarely on fresh, local ingredients, hand-crafted food, and gracious service.
Look Back, Move Forward
Blue Bamboo is an oasis of calm and tranquility . . . a respite from the traffic’s din and the mish-mash of strip malls that define much of Jacksonville’s Southside Boulevard.
