There are very few places in Key West to buy stuff you need, like a stainless steel and silicone cocktail muddler, for example. Enter Isle Cook Key West. During the months leading up to the opening, I would see the owners Bill and Eden Brown around town and wail “When […]
Like many weekends, the most enjoyable part of this past one was spending quality time with friends. As it happens, this quality time included many, many great wines. Friday night we had dinner at home with friends visiting from Miami. While we munched on grilled rib eyes, and drank 1982 […]
It takes a lot to get me to go to Downtown Miami, and in this case, it was an invitation from the folks at Steak Brasil for dinner. I am glad I accepted, as it was fantastic. This traditional Brazilian Rodizio (so traditional, in fact, that their website is entirely in Portuguese) […]

I have often said it is the most fun you can have on Duval Street. Part of the annual Key West Food and Wine Festival, Duval Uncorked is a wine tasting encompassing wine bars, art galleries, shops, restaurants and food trucks up and down the infamous Key West street. This year it was […]
