Great Southern Cafe – Seaside, FL

Sometimes you end up with a burger in an “odd” place.  We went to the Great Southern Cafe in Seaside, FL, for lunch.  You may, or may not, be familiar with Seaside.  It is a highly planned community between Panama City and Destin on 30A.  It was also the backdrop for the movie the Truman […]
