The Rum Runner Restaurant Review

The Rum Runner at first appears very modest from the outside, but after pulling open the oversized plank door, complete with a lion doorknocker, you will step into a different time. There above you hangs a large wooden propeller and an old canoe with an old stil perched above the entrance. The food was quite decent indeed, I ordered the California Chicken Burger with a Greek side salad. In my opinion the Greek salad really benefited the California Chicken Burger since I really would have liked a touch of something savory to really set off the flavors of the guacamole and bacon. The salad dressing and olives helped fill in that little touch of something that missing from the flavor palette. With that said, the bun was perfectly toasted and of a high quality bread, the red onion was slightly cooked to make for a soft delicate flavor, the chicken was tender, moist and was grilled just right! The salad had a bit of a twist with the addition of green olives and the dressing may have been house made (or just a really good quality bottled dressing?). My dad had the Stuffed Chicken Breast with white wine sauce and a hint of jalapeno on a bed of rice. The amount of jalapeno was just right, at first you will not even taste it, but after a moment of chewing just a hint of spice comes though, without risking the loss of any taste buds! Magnificent!

Magic is happening :}



There's nothing like being productive in the studio! Ah! :] Aren't you just loving the chartreuse and pink chalk combination? I would post pictures of my dress...but I am waiting till its done for the big reveal! I am super excited! I just hit that point were I was getting tired and was kind of wanting to quit....but then I kept going and suddenly I could see it coming together and I was suddenly spurred on with new energy! So often in life, we give up just before the sun breaks through the clouds, but don't give up! Stick it out and discover the what can be accomplished from sticking with it to the end :)
