Embracing the Whimsy of Southern Charm (LOTD) at 15th Street Farm

People who don't understand your whimsy will try to "humble" you. 

Protect your whimsy.

Hat: I bought this in Colombia 

Tonights date night was at 15th St Farm located in St.petersburg.

Every communal dinner is different and tonight it was mussels cooked 4 or 5 different ways.

They do a great job accommodating Celiacs as well, all of my food was served on the side and everyone else's was family style.

Everything is super fresh as well because its grown here. You can find out info on their dinners on their social media or website as well. I in general, try to book dinners where the menu appears to be mostly gluten-free (because not all dinners are).

Tonight's dinner is labeled "Show us Your Mussels" in which the entire menu is comprised of dishes that are made from mussels. The menu is almost 100% gluten free if you avoid rhe bread that is served on the side for dipping. Although its a communal family styled dinner, due to my having Celiac Disease my mussels were served in a small bowl just for me to avoid any cross contamination.
