Shooting a picture in MAR of 2014, I never guess back then that I’d be running across it eleven years later and shaking my head upon seeing the numbers. Pretty sure I shot this at King Neptune’s Seafood in Gulf Shores. In those days, you could score a dozen raw oysters on the half shell…

The fish of the day at Thyme on Section is pan seared grouper served with white cheddar grits, charred bits of pineapple, pickled red onions, jalapenos, bacon, arugula and chimichurri ($39).
