You know the saying… April Showers Bring May Flowers? Well after all the rain and crazy weather we had last month – I expect LOTS of flowers… And not just for Mother’s Day!

Which brings me to May’s 3rd Coast Foodie restaurant… Costa Sur Wok & Ceviche Bar on North Padre Island! About as fresh as you can get! Have you been there yet? It’s a must go; not when you get time – make time! In fact when we called our “foodie teammates,” Lesha and Bill Jones, and explained where we were going, they agreed before we finished talking. Turned out that Costa Sur is their favorite restaurant on the Island and that is a great recommendation!

tion you have. We had a lot of questions about Peruvian food as this was a brand new adventure for our taste buds! When we went, we were met by owner Alonso Mackrizz who explained that his brother Nick, the Executive Chef and mastermind behind the fusion, was off for the night. It’s always a bummer when we don’t meet the Executive Chef; however his staff had us in their capable hands and between them and Alfonso all of our questions were answered. The first thing they had to do was explain was Ceviche… a way of curing the fish in the citrus juices, like cold
