In 1994 the Nation fell in love with Forest Gump. Following the story of his fabled life, by the end we all wanted a friend like Forest. As we began preparing for Shrimp Fest for the month of August at every turn my head was spinning with grinning faces reciting their favorite quote from the movie Forest Gump. From the kitchen to the bar, everyone immediately launched into one of the most well remembered scenes. So here you go friends…in celebrations of everyone’s favorite fruit…SHRIMP, “…the fruit of the sea”.
All month long we will be celebrating these tiny morsels of goodness with weekly specials and all month long with our 19 great every day shrimp dishes. That’s right, there are over 30 ways to enjoy the fruit of the sea at Flagler Tavern in August.
