TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - This morning on Sunrise's "What's to Eat" we were joined by Chef Danny Heffernan from the Kingfish Grill in St. Augustine, who is teaching us how to make Horseradish Encrusted Mahi.
Chef Danny comes from Kilkenny, Ireland; he grew up learning how to cook and help customers while helping his parents at a bed and breakfast his mother ran in Ireland. When he was 10 years old, he began cooking breakfast for the guests and found a knack for cooking. The chef spent 20 years as an executive chef on the North Shore of Long island before joining the Kingfish staff in 2011. When Chef Danny cooks he focuses on attention to detail and quality of the food he makes.
Throughout the month of October, the Kingfish Grill will be working with other restaurants along the Atlantic Coast for the 5th Annual "Flavors of Florida's Historic Coast". This is a month long event where fine dining restaurants of St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and the Beaches offer a prix fixe menu for guests.
