I’ve got three words for you: Fried. Grilled. Cheese. Himmarshee Public House, in downtown Fort Lauderdale, has recently rolled out some new menu items, and I was lucky enough to attend a media dinner tasting them all. The Public House is a lovely bar, with a huge list of craft beers […]

I haven’t been to Cafe Sole in over five years. I was unimpressed with the service and general attitude at Cafe Sole, so after they opened Bistro Sole on White Street, I didn’t rush over there. Bistro Sole is in a location that, in my five years in Key West, […]
I hadn’t been to Antonia’s in about five and a half years. Why? Last time I was there it was only okay, and was quite expensive, so it never seemed like a good idea to go back. Several months ago it was bought and taken over by one of the […]
I am spoiled by the number of good restaurants available to me within a fifteen minute walk from my front door. So it is not that often that I will drive somewhere to eat in the Keys. On this particular occasion, we had flown into Fort Lauderdale and were heading […]

I recently got an invitation to try Gimme A Burger in Pembroke Pines, and since it doesn’t take much convincing to get me to eat a burger, naturally I readily accepted. Now, I will say that I find the name a little off-putting, but I was intrigued by the concept […]
Gelato, pastries, a full grocery store with fresh fish and meats, as well as cheeses, and several different restaurants make up Eataly, where I swore I died and went to food heaven. Seriously, I could have wondered the crowded areas of Eataly for hours on end. But that was not […]
