Fat & Weird Cookie is owned by Brad and Aubrie Bromlow. They are a great couple with a great product, that we feel good getting behind! They are food and health/fitness enthusiasts with a beautiful little family! Brad and Jess actually went to college together and were in a brother/sister fraternity and sorority. Both went on to their professions, Brad in the military and Jess in law, but find it so wonderfully ironic that we are both now in the food industry so close together in the panhandle! It’s also wonderfully ironic that one of their best selling cookies has a PB component! Get ready for some delicious treats, locally, here in Destin!!

We were very proud to be invited to prepare and present the dessert course at the 6th and 7th Annual Palate to Palette Dinner to support the Shelter House. Chef Phillip made a Peanut Butter Whiskey Panna Cotta with a Berry Compote, a Brioche Cookie, Chambord Chantilly, and Peanut Butter Dust (our play on an upscale dessert PB&J Sandwich so it had a bread element, a jam element, and, of course, PEANUT BUTTER!!) in 2022 and an Ooey-Gooey Peanut Butter Buttercake with Strawberry Compote, Chambord Chantilly, and Candied Peanuts in 2023.

Well, it just so happens that we are going to have a TON of used coffee and espresso grounds that are PERFECT for nutrient-rich compost for community and home gardens. If you'd like a bag, it's yours for a direct donation to Food For Thought. Food for Thought Outreach is a locally based non-profit organization fighting childhood hunger in Okaloosa and Walton Counties. Established in 2010, FFT has grown to serve over 3,000 students with year round programs.
To learn more visit, www.fftfl.org or email support@fftfl.org
Chef Phil took a field trip in November, 2022 to the Food For Thought Full Circle Kitchen to teach a small group of high school students some hands-on cooking techniques! Welcoming the season of thanks, he taught them preparation (mise en place), knife skills, and blanching for a completed green bean casserole! He also covered the importance of using fresh ingredients and how to budget for the meal!

We used our Executive Pastry Chef, Mary Carillo's buttercake recipe to make an Ooey-Gooey Peanut Butter Buttercake, which we topped with a Warm Strawberry Compote, since the weather decided to turn into Florida winter that morning, waking up to the temps being in the early 50s!
We competed in the Mac n' Cheese Festival on March 4, 2023 with a three-cheese mac with cauliflower bechemel, harissa cauliflower crumbles, and topped with aji verde!
