Whale of a Good Time

Wahoo’s at the Whale Harbor in Islamorada was the lunch spot yesterday. After picking friends up at the Fort Lauderdale airport, we headed south for the beautiful drive to Key West. Mrs Mac’s was a little early in the drive and Keys Fisheries a little too late, as we were hungry, so we went to the . . . → Read More: Whale of a Good Time

Barracuda

Driving by the Barracuda Grill, it looks like every other restaurant in the Florida Keys: low key and fairly nondescript. Inside is a whole different ball game. It is charming, adorable and, as an added bonus, has great food.

At first glance, the menu pricing seems a bit odd. Entrees are between $16 for fried shrimp to . . . → Read More: Barracuda

Hyperbole

“World Famous Super Fish Sandwich”. Sounds pretty good, no? After continuously driving by a billboard making this claim, and commenting on it several times, I decided to give it a try. If it is world famous, it must be so for a reason. I stopped into Craig’s Restaurant at Mile Marker 90 for lunch, by myself. . . . → Read More: Hyperbole

Mrs. Mac’s

Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen is an unassuming place tucked just off of the Overseas Highway at Mile Marker 99.  established in 1976, they are on their second set of owners, who seem to be doing a darn good job. Mrs. Mac’s claims to have the largest collection of license plates east of the Mississippi. Although I . . . → Read More: Mrs. Mac’s

Shaken or Stirred? Fried or Grilled?

We have many choices in every day life: regular or decaf? Would you like fries with that? To stay or to go? It goes on all day. Most of us like having some choices, it makes us feel like we have control over our lives by managing the little things that go on.

Recently, on the drive . . . → Read More: Shaken or Stirred? Fried or Grilled?

Under the Boardwalk

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 eat the middle of the . . . → Read More: Under the Boardwalk

On The Edge

At the entrance to the seven mile bridge (or exit, depending on which direction you are traveling), in Marathon, is the 7 Mile Grill. This little hole-in-the-wall was recommended to a friend of mine for their conch fritters and beer. I explained to Friend that there is no shortage of beer anywhere in the Keys. . . . → Read More: On The Edge

Smarty Pants

Living in Key West there are constant reminders that AIDS is still taking lives – there are fundraisers all the time. In other parts of the country, especially those parts with a smaller gay population, fundraisers and awareness are not so prevalent.

Each year for the past six years, hundreds of people have joined together to ride . . . → Read More: Smarty Pants

Something Fishy

The Fish House is a Key Largo institution. Located at Mile Marker 102, it is a large restaurant, dark inside with tchotchkes everywhere. Everything from palm tree Christmas lights to pictures of fish cover the walls.

I started the meal with a giant ice tea. It must have been at least 24 ounces. The food is the . . . → Read More: Something Fishy

Oh Baby, Baby

Baby’s Coffee is an unassuming storefront at about Mile Marker 15. It is, however, a treasure trove. They have about six different kinds of coffee brewed – different roasts, hazelnut coffee and even a “Cajun” blend, with chicory. A small coffee is a bargain at 93 cents.

Th.ey also have a selection of bagels, muffins and wraps. . . . → Read More: Oh Baby, Baby
