The Ratchet Hatchet in Downtown Fort Walton Beach is a brand new axe throwing range that has become a huge trend across North American cities.
We stopped by The Ratchet Hatchet to chat with co-owner Steven Garcia to get a quick tour and demo some axe throwing!

Part of me feels like National Coffee Day ☕️ was created with me in mind. My morning routine involves downing a pot of coffee as I sit in front of a Macbook.
While there are a ton of chain coffee shops in the area like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts, let’s not forget about our local coffee shops that religiously get up and brew our cups of Joe.

Starbucks is doing something a bit different for National Coffee Day. Instead of giving away free coffee to coffee-lovers, the chain will kick off Starbucks One Tree for Every Bag Commitment, a year-long campaign that gives customers the opportunity to help the farmers and families behind your morning cup of java.
Enjoy a FREE hot or iced medium Dark Roast, today 9.29.15, in honor of #NationalCoffeeDay!

Happy National Coffee Day! Go get some caffeine!
This is really exciting! Mainly because I spend most of days in Downtown Fort Walton Beach and have always rallied for more restaurants.
As someone who significantly supports the downtown lunch rush (I’m lookin’ at you del Sol!), I’m thrilled to see a new restaurant come in with a fresh twist.
With Fokkers’ recent move to their new location at 215 Miracle Strip Pkwy, the old Mulhollows Bistro, the restaurant was quickly claimed by TASTE.
TASTE’s Facebook page lists the General Manager as K.C. Harrison. Anyone familiar with Downtown can easily recognize that name and the family: KC’s Sandbar & Grill & Tapworks.
We're practicing!!

Tapas Bars serve smaller portions of food, mainly appetizer or snack size. Normally you would order a variety of tapas and combine them to make a full meal.
The primary goal of tapas is to share the food and engage in conversation with those around you. (After you take a selfie, GET OFF THE PHONE!)
TASTE’s philosophy is that life is always better when you sip, share, and taste.
While TASTE will be the first tapas bar in Downtown Fort Walton Beach, it isn’t the first in the area. Twisted Grape in Shalimar has been going strong serving their own small plates and flatbreads.
But it’s Pensacola’s The Global Grill that helped set the excitement for my wife and I.
See, The Global Grill is an upscale tapas bar and restaurant in downtown Pensacola. We have family in that area of the Gulf Coast who absolutely rave about the tapas bar. In fact, it’s become their go-to spot!
The last time my wife was in P-cola with her girlfriends they tried to go to The Global Grill…but the hour-and-a-half wait sent them searching for someplace else.
Me and Upscale don’t really go together so I’m glad to see that TASTE has listed their attire as casual.
TASTE is opening soon. Be sure to subscribe to Get The Coast today!
As we celebrate Labor Day I couldn’t help but think about that old fashion faux pas of wearing white after Labor Day.
As tradition would have it, the Summer season was defined as being from Memorial Day to Labor Day. And you would trade in your “city” clothes for more casual, whiter, summer clothes.
According to Emily Post:
It was an age when there was a dress code for practically every occasion, and the signal to mark the change between summer resort clothes and clothing worn for the rest of the year was encapsulated in the dictum “No white after Labor Day.” And it stuck.
I worked at a high-end retail store during college. The owner was super chill and my boss was kickass, so naturally I reached out to Dennis at Dennis & Company to help clarify this “rule”.
Here’s what he said:
When attending the New York Menswear Show, not focusing on our local area, there were many companies showing white, five pocket jeans with tweed coats. And of course, there is the always-beautiful white, cashmere cable sweaters. The Italians are also showing the use of white in there fashion palette for Winter in many ways, not just tops but also slacks and jeans. So when you see someone sporting white this winter remember it’s not just from Memorial Day to Labor Day anymore.
And what better way to understand how to wear where white after Labor Day than to see some examples?
And for us guys, we can also rock some white this fall and winter…
There is hope for white after Labor Day along the Emerald Coast so don’t put away all of your summer clothes yet. According to the fashion experts, just make sure you pair your whites/creams with more fall colors, and you’ll be looking good all season long!
