You had me at
Brie: Red Rabbit Eatery
If heaven had a taste, I’m pretty
sure it would come in the form and flavor of Brie cheese and that’s exactly
what I had at the Red Rabbit Eatery. Yes, a little slice of Heaven called the
Turkey Max sandwich. Home-roasted turkey breast, melted brie, spinach, tomatoes,
red onions, drizzled with balsamic glaze, may just be one of the most delicious
sandwiches I have had the pleasure of experiencing in quite some time.
Located at 233 State Road 16, the Red Rabbit Eatery, formally known as The Spot, is owned and operated by Chef Cyndi Haworth and her husband Greg. “We are a great team,” Haworth says, “We actually really enjoy what we do and we actually love working together.” Haworth, a St. Augustine native has been in the restaurant business since she was 15 years old, so practically her entire life. She started out as a hostess and eventually worked her way up to becoming a chef. Initially, the Haworth’s started a catering company called, A Step Above, until they decided to open a restaurant, which has been open for a little over two months. Inspiration for the name, simple, but only true St. Augustinians would immediately understand. “Well, the building was already painted red and they used to call this area of St. Augustine Rabbit Hill, so I just thought, why don’t we just call it Red Rabbit Eatery?” Haworth explains.
Several years back, the chef decided
to take a six month hiatus and traveled all around the United States to try
different types of cooking styles and foods which truly reflects in her menu.
She has everything from Bahn Mi to a Falafel Bomb to a Stuffed Meatball Sandwich.
All of her meats are roasted in house, all her dressings are homemade, and all
her produce is purchased locally. Literally, everything you find on the menu is
made in-house, a growing, but not yet common practice amongst restaurant owners.
Even down to her products such as cups, straws, napkins are eco-friendly. Haworth
says she feels that it’s just responsible to be conscious of our
environment. But what I loved most about meeting with Cyndi Haworth was her ideology
concerning not only her profession but her business, “Good food doesn’t have to
be complicated, and it can be affordable.”

You can also experience the ghosts of a woman in white who wanders around in various places both inside and outside the fort, and then vanishes. Spanish soldiers that appear to be so real that the living has talked to them also appear at the fort.
