Action News Jax’s Chandler Morgan shows you about new restaurants and a way you can celebrate mom this weekend.

There are several new restaurants “Around Jax” that have you covered for breakfast and lunch.

Morgan’s first stop was Scooter’s Coffee in Oceanway, where it’s putting the final touches on its newest location. The chain is known for its fast drive-thru, specialty coffee and pastries.

To celebrate, the drive-thru location will be hosting a grand opening on Friday, May 17, and on that day, you can get a bogo when you pay through the Scooters Coffee app. You can check out this recently-opening location on New Berlin Road.

The fast-casual spot features soups, salads, wraps and bowls. It’s also allergy-friendly. You can find this location at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Hodges Boulevard.

Meet the Finnish biotech startup bringing a long lost mycoprotein to your plate
The best known mycoprotein is probably Quorn, a meat substitute that's fast approaching its 40th birthday. The focus back then wasn't on producing an alternative protein for human consumption, as the startup intends -- although the original Pekilo product was sold for animal feed. Instead, per Enifer CEO and co-founder Simo Ellilä, the paper industry's engineers were trying to come up with a solution to pollution caused by mills dumping production waste ("sidestreams") into local waterways.
