This week we went in the kitchen at The Sandbar with owner Ed Chiles and chef Ian Fairweather as he prepares their signature shrimp and grits.
The Sandbar is located on the beach on Anna Maria Island at the site where the historic Anna Maria bathhouse and pier was built more than 100 years ago.
The menu at The Sandbar features dishes prepared with fresh, locally caught seafood and local produce.
Other restaurants also owned by Chiles include BeachHouse on Bradenton Beach and Mar Vista on Longboat Key.
