Local Favorites - Restaurant Dishes We Loved

In keeping with our March theme, we’ve pulled some tried and true recipes from beloved St. Simons Island restaurants that are remembered fondly. The recipe for Flo’s Tomato Pie from The 4th of May is one requested regularly on social media and from those lucky enough to have a cookbook from the restaurant in their collection. The cheesy goodness of the Crab Au Gratin from the legendary Emmeline & Hessie is something that people reminisce about to this day. Now you can make these specialties at home.
