We took a trip to Titusville today for lunch, on the recommendation of our lovely hostess. Dixie Crossroads is apparently the first restaurant to popularize rock shrimp, which are almost the sole reason for my visit every year… well, almost
The server was super-friendly & brought us a little tray of fried cornbread with powdered sugar.
I tried one and thought it was lacking actual corn kernels, plus dessert is not my idea of an appetizer. My PIC snarfed a bunch of them down, OTOH. He loves that stuff.
We got 2 dozen broiled rock shrimp with butter & lemon; additional pimp-out options were garlic, Old Bay (no thx, that stuff ruins everything it touches for me), or blackened. I really like the sweet flavor of rock shrimp & don’t think they require any pimping.
We chose clam chowder and Caesar from the ‘premium’ sides.
The clam chowder was excellent — an ample amount of clams, tender potatoes, and clearly homemade. Even better with the addition of their house-made habanero sauce, of which we took a bottle home, whereas the Caesar dressing was def bottled & the croutons from a bag. Meh.
Overall a lovely lunch. And now the sun is out again after a rainy morning, so we’ll nap it off at the pool
