Gulf Coast Media holding launch party for new food and lifestyle magazine, TASTE

Gulf Coast Media is launching a new coastal cuisine and lifestyle magazine, and you have the chance to see it before it is sent to subscribers later this week.

One of the most critical ingredients for the success of any community is its food & dining options. There's more than just fried shrimp here in South Alabama's Gulf Coast, and this brand-new magazine from Gulf Coast Media will explore these different, delicious experiences while peeking behind the curtain to get to know some of the area's most talented, engaging chefs and restaurateurs.

This first issue of "TASTE" includes:

• Little Bird's desserts curators
• Styx and Bones Oddities Cafe
• Alex Warner from Cheeseburger Randy's
• Isla Wine owner Robin Riddell Jones
• Voyagers' Chef Brody Olive
• And more!
• Plus, a "taste" of art, entertainment, retail, beach and bay along the way.
