Having lived in New York City for six years, and marrying a pizza-obsessed guy, I have had my fair share of pies: thick crust, thin crust, brick oven, Chicago-style and even surviving four college-filled years of that dreadful St. Louis style cut into squares (there is no good way to […]
I don’t want you, my dear reader, going around thinking that I cannot possible have a good breakfast in Key West. After having some impressive salmon tartare during the Key West Food and Wine Festival, we decided to try Blackfin Bistro. The brunch menu is an array of omelets, sandwiches, […]

The Westin provided a great location on the pier, complete with tents and far too few places to sit, or even lean. Chefs from all over Key West were in attendance hoping […]
Duval Street stretches from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. It is about a mile long. Last Saturday evening, as part of the Key West Food and Wine Festival, there was a wine tasting that traversed the entire street. Galleries, restaurants, shops and bars had stations set up […]
