Sigh. Just as Labor Day Monday, September 7 signals summer’s end, it puts the cap on summer’s daily progressive happy hour at Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails in Jacksonville, Florida. This is the last week to enjoy progressive pricing on craft draft beer, select wines by the glass and happy hour cocktails including classics such as a martini, sloe gin fizz, daiquiri, cucumber Collins, Midwest mule, Pimm’s Cup, French 76, prosecco and Nueva Moda. During Progressive Summer Happy Hour, these drinks are priced at $3 from 3-4 p.m., $4 from 4-5 p.m. and $5 from 5-6 p.m. The bar menu’s regular happy hour pricing resumes from 6-7 p.m. each night. On Friday and Saturday, however, regular happy hour pricing is in effect from 10 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. closing time. Could be Moxie’s way of saying not to let time slip away while sipping away.
Head about 5 hours south of
Atlanta to the Sunshine State and turn this aperture into a reality. Moxie Kitchen +
Cocktails in Jacksonville, Florida is
serving up dishes that are as tasty as they are beautiful. Moxie chef Tom Gray
was featured as a Hired Gun at Gunshow back in June,
so if you missed out then, a trip to
Jacksonville is strongly suggested.
Gerry Klaskala, executive chef and owner of Aria, is taking his talents to Naples, Fla. during the Naples Winter Wine Festival, January 24-26,
2014. On Friday, January 24, Klaskala and other celebrity chefs from across the
nation will take over the kitchens and dining rooms of Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF) trustees - and the homeowners won't mind a bit. The
chefs will prepare signature dishes and be joined by vintners with fine wines
to create an intimate, one-of-a-kind wining and dining experience for guests. All this preparation and hard work will aid the NCEF's primary annual fundraising event. Themed "Celebrate
the Journey," the festival boasts other events including "Meet the
Kids Day Tour & Luncheon," wine tastings, gourmet meals and an auction
offering wines, dining and travel experiences and one-of-a-kind treasures. The
NCEF supports programs that improve the physical, emotional and educational
lives of underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County, Fla.
