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.

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 “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 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 We have many choices in every day life: regular or decaf?

I explained to Friend that there is no shortage of beer anywhere in the Keys. . . . → Read More: On The Edge 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 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 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 |
