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 […]

Meringue or whipped cream? I always choose whipped cream, clearly because it is the superior topping to a Key Lime Pie. My friend Marcie would disagree. There are those that think Blond Giraffe makes the best pie. Sadly, they too, are wrong. I have a problem with the Blond Giraffe. […]
“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 […]
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 […]

We have many choices in every day life: regular or decaf? Would you like fries with that? To stay or to go? It goes on all day. Most of us like having some choices, it makes us feel like we have control over our lives by managing the little things […]
Having lived in New York City for six years, and marrying a pizza-obsessed guy, I have had my fair share of pies: thick crust, thin crust, brick oven, Chicago-style and even surviving four college-filled years of that dreadful St. Louis style cut into squares (there is no good way to […]
I don’t want you, my dear reader, going around thinking that I cannot possible have a good breakfast in Key West. After having some impressive salmon tartare during the Key West Food and Wine Festival, we decided to try Blackfin Bistro. The brunch menu is an array of omelets, sandwiches, […]
