PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) – There is a lot of laughter and mouth-watering food at Josiah’s Southern Cooking restaurant. “I love to cook and I’ve always had to feed multiple people. My mom died early and I kind of raised my siblings and I had three children,” said Sharolyn Gaines owner and manager of Josiah’s Southern Cooking. Gaines had always dreamed of opening a cafe and that dream finally became a reality 7 years ago.
