It is 10 AM on Saturday morning. Our house guest is getting ready to leave, but we are all going to go out for breakfast first. I know it seems absurd, but somehow I thought that going to Blue Heaven would be a good idea. Perhaps we would get lucky […]

If you like hot sauce, playing really mean jokes on your friends back home or just some fun little gifts, you must go to Peppers next time you are in Key West. I live on the island 3 days a week and go there more than is probably normal. After […]
Ahhhhhhhhh, there is nothing quite like a nice, not heavily trafficked drive through the Florida Keys. There I was, with my Cousin at the wheel, still in a food coma from breakfast at the Hungry Tarpon (see last post), cruising down US1, listening to Jimmy Buffett and generally having a […]
I first visited the Hungry Tarpon about 5 years ago, as it was breakfast time when I passed it. Since then, each time I have driven by at meal time I could not remember where it was. Alas, the Hungry Tarpon is located at MM 77 1/2, bayside, but it […]

NOTE: Out of the Blue is out of business. Check other restaurant reviews here for suggested places to go. If only the food and professionalism matched the lovely setting. Out of the Blue is a new restaurant (taking over the space that was formerly the White Street Bistro) with a […]
After two grueling hours of tennis, where neither doubles partner could cover his court very well (the regular partner was on the bench, nursing a non-swine flu cold), I was a bit hungry. Using my own version of logic, I decided that after spending a rather long time exercising, I […]
