I first wrote about Mangia Mangia in 2009, and have had many good meals there since, so I thought it was time for an update. Nothing has changed. There you have it. Really, we had a couple of bad service experiences and so had not been there in a while. […]

When we lived in New York, I would try to avoid going out on St. Patrick’s Day. Too many cops drinking green beer, while on duty, guns and all. But, while not my favorite holiday by a long shot, in Key West, it is not so far out of the […]
Although I tend to frequent independently owned restaurants, as Key West has plenty of them, once in a while a chain serves a purpose. You know what you are going to get. This weekend, before the big hundredth birthday bash, we went to McCormick and Schmick’s for dinner with my in-laws.
In March of 1913, according to the New York Times (which cost one cent, or, if you were outside of New York, two cents), there were a million phone lines in New York. Now? Who knows? Between cell phones, land lines, businesses, I would go out on a limb and […]

The easiest way to notice that things have started to return to some level of normal is by the food. When we start having people over for dinner again, all is (almost) right in our world. The other night, our friends came over for a low-key dinner.
This past weekend we went to a Bat Mitzvah of a lovely thirteen year old that I have known since she was about six. At some point mid-service, FKGuy, realized that the girl getting Bat Mitzvah-ed is a real person, not a little kid anymore, and clearly I have known […]
