Boondocks is one of those places I always drive by, but don’t stop at because it is generally inconvenient to where I am going: Key West. Located at Mile Marker 27.5, it is generally further than I am willing to go when there is an event there, or I am […]

I saw the menu – “Home of the square taco” – and have to admit I was intrigued. I am in constant need for a good taco joint, preferable one that has amazing food and is cheap. They are hard to come by in Florida. When Amigos opened, I was […]
The Utah wine crowd is a fun one. I know, you wouldn’t think it, but it is true. We get together for some sort of wine dinner every time we are in town, which is sadly limited to once a year. This year’s festivities took place upstairs in a private […]
For me the skiing is all about one thing. Powder? Nope. Lovely groomed trails? Well, sometimes. Lunch? All the time. I have now worked into each Deer Valley trip a lunch at the new-last-year JG Grill. As is Jean Georges. Yes, that Jean Georges. I ski there from the Deer […]
We go to Utah usually once or twice per year. We visit with friends. We ski or hike, depending on season (usually the former), and we eat really well. One of the places on my must-eat list each year is The Mariposa at Deer Valley. It is a great dining […]

Located across the street from the Hemingway House, where there are actual six-toed cats, is Six Toed Cat, the restaurant. I went there for lunch on a recent Saturday afternoon. The interior is a little sparse, but the tables are shaped like paws – with six toes, naturally. Otherwise there […]
It was a picture perfect day, so I thought taking my parents out to Sunset Key for lunch would be a fabulous idea. I was wrong. It started easily enough: reservation made online at Open Table, boat tickets picked up at the Westin concierge, and a lovely seven minute ride […]
After breaking up with Ambrosia and Kyushu burning down, my sushi-eating life was in a bit of turmoil. I had not been to Origami in years, but feeling the sushi crave, I decided to give it a try. Set back from the street in Duval Square, Origami is a small, […]
Tucked into an unassuming strip mall in Pompano Beach is Cafe La Buca, a tiny, 4 table Italian restaurant. It is a really tacky room with bad lighting. They have no liquor license, so it is strictly BYO here, a feature that I appreciate. They also have no menu, rather […]
