Deep South Market is Not Your Average Market
Gulf Place welcomed Deep South Market this fall and it’s been a nice addition to the town center. Owners Jeff and Vickie Miller also own the Perfect Pig and were eager to open a place with interesting products that you can’t find everywhere. That’s what we love about Deep South Market – you can find great items for gifts or unique treats if you’re hosting a party. When you walk in, you might not be sure if it’s a deli, a grocery store, or a gift shop but it’s actually all three!
As for the deli, fresh sandwiches can be ordered as well as hams and thick-cut bacon in the display case. If you have been to The Perfect Pig, you know the Pork Tenderloin or Pulled Pork are the go-to options and they are available as Panini sandwiches. There’s also a Filet Mignon with blue cheese sandwich (their best seller) and chicken breast with Applewood smoked bacon and thick cheddar cheese. While the prices are a bit high for lunch and do not come with sides, these are gourmet sandwiches and you’ll be happy with splurging. For dessert, grab some ice cream from the freezer! Honeysuckle brand is available in delicious flavors like Honey Fig and Peppermint Bark or our favorite (based solely on the name) Snacks on a Plane. They also sell the very popular Jeni’s ice cream by the pint as well as mini containers in flavors like Salty Caramel and Brown Butter Almond Brittle. Jeni’s has been around since 2002 and is famous for using whole ingredients and dairy from grass-pastured cows rather than synthetic flavorings and commodity ice cream mix. So far, you can only buy it here and at the Fresh Market in Destin. If you haven’t tried it yet, get some!
Deep South Market is also a gift shop. From adorable kitchen supplies to perfect gift baskets and even a section for beloved pets, you can definitely find something special and unique to make someone’s day. We love the big Florida puzzle, the “Praise the Lard” coffee mugs and the gold bangle bracelets you can pick with your own state engraved. One wall is lined with specialty jams, syrups, and gourmet baking goods that would be ideal for stocking your Destin vacation rental.
