Fort Walton Yacht Club Letter Log March 2018 30° 25.60’N 86° 35.58’W CHEF FRANCESCA PIAZZA started working at FWYC on May 6, 2015 and has enjoyed every moment of it. She enjoys giving back to members and making them a top priority. Francesca has 40 years of European cooking experience. Her passion for food was handed down through her grandmother "nonna Francesca" who was a private/personal Chef in Palermo, Sicily. While on the Emerald Coast, she has expanded her experience as a fine dining private/personal Chef. She has a 26 year old son Paolo Gregorio, who is firstly an Artist and sec- ondly a Pastry Chef/Gelato Maker. They enjoy cooking together and have a wonderful mother and son/best friend relationship. Together they are a strong team with an even stronger work ethic. For Chef, it’s all about food and “la Bella vita”! Attention all FWYC Ladies... SPRING is on the way!! Hooray!! WOW will celebrate a luncheon on Thursday, 1 March at 11:30 am in the Commodore's Room. On Thursday, 15 March at 5:30 pm, we will follow up with a St. Patrick's Cocktail Party in the Lounge. Chris- tine Watson will be welcoming you all as our hostess for the month. Do come and join us, whenever you can and stay as long as you like!! We always have a lot of fun!! There has been a lot of "chit chat" in the Dining Room, Lounge, and Back Patio about FWYC. We thought this would be a great opportunity to post some comments that FWYC members are sharing. Keep em coming!! "We've been members at many yacht clubs throughout our lives, and the food has always been hit and miss. Not here, you guys are doing it right." "The Valentine’s Dinner was over the top. Everything we had was terrific!" "The brunch is always amazing. We wouldn’t miss a Sunday brunch." "You mean you can order off of the menu Wednesday through Friday nights?" "The food now is better than any time in my 38-year membership." "I’ve only been a member for a few weeks and the wait staff have already learned my name and know what I drink." "Thank you, thank you, thank you! The fresh seafood is amazing!" 21
