I attended a tasting for Fat Cats Gourmet a while back and the tasting was held at All Spiced-Up…read more This is the cutest, gourmet-styled retail shop for spices that you'll ever want to go in. I immediately fell in love when I walked through the door. The store is located in San Marco which is known for their boutiques and it fits right in. It's a small family owned store featuring unique blends, rubs, spices, oils, teas, and lots more! At the tasting I bought one of the featured hot sauces. It's called "Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Ghost"! It's "surprising" because this sauce is made with ghost chili peppers which is the world's hottest pepper. However, the sauce has very smoky, mild flavor. All of the sauces from Fat Cat Gourmet can be found at All Spiced Up! Recipe I used with the sauce: http://www.highheelsgoodmeals.blogspot.com/search/label/All%20Spiced%20Up

She allowed my friend and I to try multiple tastings. I ended up buying three different items just based on the samples. She, and her husband (I think), make all of the spices, sauces and dressings and they are good, good, good!!!!! Great prices and great quality!!!!! The owner was also a wealth of knowledge on the city and surrounding areas. We chatted for 15 minutes and she gave us multiple reccomendations on things to do in the area and other good local bussinesses. Definitely a place to stop by if you are near the Jacksonville Landing!!!

The service was…read morewarm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly from the moment we walked in the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile. The food was excellent across the board. If you're ordering for the table, don't skip the chicken skewers tender, flavorful, and a great starter. We also tried the Thai fried rice, pad kra pow, and drunken noodles, and everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with authentic flavor. One thing I loved (and don't see everywhere): they have a full assortment of sauces right at the table. If you're someone who always wants a little extra heat, sweetness, or tang this setup is a game changer. Pro tip: get the Thai iced tea. Sweet, creamy, and the perfect balance to the spice. The space is casual but lively, and there's even a cute little retail area where you can browse Thai snacks, sauces, and other goodies to take home. Great spot for a casual lunch, dinner with friends, or a family outing. We came to celebrate a birthday and it was the perfect choice. Riverside definitely has a gem here.

Clines Meat Market offers such a unique and memorable experience. We attended one of their meat…read moreclasses with friends, and it was incredibly educational from start to finish. The team really knows their craft and explains everything in a way that's fun, approachable, and easy to follow. We tasted some amazing cuts of meat throughout the class, paired with great wine and even better conversation. The quality was truly 10/10 -- you can taste the difference immediately. They also offered a discount on any meat purchased that night, which was a great bonus. Overall, it was a fantastic evening and absolutely worth it. Clines delivers both quality and expertise, and the class is something I'd recommend to anyone who loves good food and wants to learn more about it.

Grassroots Natural Market in Jacksonville might be the most gloriously hippie health-food store…read moreI've ever set foot in. You can smell it before you're even through the door. Not in a bad way, but in that unmistakable health-food-store aroma that tells you there are herbs, oils, supplements, organic everything, and probably someone blending wheatgrass in the back with spiritual conviction. I walked in thinking I'd grab a couple of health bars or maybe a smoothie, and suddenly I found myself in what felt like a live-action documentary about modern hippie culture. Real hippies. I'm talking long dreads, natural fabrics, calm serene smiles, and an energy that says they own a crystal collection and know each crystal by name. The vibe inside was amazing. Everyone looked like they were on their own personal wellness quest, floating around the aisles with purpose, shopping carts full of things I didn't even know existed. I felt like I needed to level up spiritually just to stand near the kombucha section. And the café area had this cozy, earthy coolness to it that almost convinced me to sit down and contemplate the meaning of life over a smoothie bowl. The whole experience was wild in the best possible way. Grassroots Natural Market wasn't just a store that day. It was a full-on immersion into the hippie heart of Jacksonville, and honestly, it was fabulous.

Smoothies are great! Every organic product available you could ask for and even a little grocery!read more
