What started as two friends coming to visit turned into a full-on wine weekend. I had planned on having 2 people stay with us, and then 6-8 others in a hotel for our wine dinner Saturday. As it turned out, we did two dinners at exceptional restaurants with great wines […]

Key West has just about every type of food you could want, except Indian. Although I would love for someone to open an Indian restaurant, I’m not quite sure how grouper vindaloo would go over here. But, I digress. This weekend, I went to Goldman’s Deli in the Winn Dixie […]
Wahoo’s at the Whale Harbor in Islamorada was the lunch spot yesterday. After picking friends up at the Fort Lauderdale airport, we headed south for the beautiful drive to Key West. Mrs Mac’s was a little early in the drive and Keys Fisheries a little too late, as we were […]
The food is much better than it looks in these less than stellar cell phone photos. La Trattoria, at 524 Duval, is a delightful oasis in the middle of the action. However, in my opinion, they have committed a truly heinous sin: no vintages on the wine list. When you […]
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. […]

The eating fest that was my trip to New York began (after crashing a few parties – see previous post) with dinner at Cacio e Pepe, in the East Village. This is an entire restaurant named after one of the greatest, and simplest, Italian dishes of all time. It is […]
The great thing about New York City is the many things there are to do, at all times. Last week, I was in New York for a few days. I landed Thursday, shared a car with someone I knew on my flight, and headed to my friend’s place on the […]
A couple of months ago, I reviewed Abbondanza, on Simonton Street here. The first experience there was delightful. I am sad to report, however, that it seems that was a fluke. A couple of weeks ago, we visited Abbondanza in hopes of repeating the same good meal we had the […]
I eat mainly fish, pasta and vegetables. Very rarely do I eat chicken or meat. But every once in a while, I break down. Take last week at Ben’s in Boca, for example. I went with my cousins, and overwhelmed by the enormity of the menu, I ordered way too […]
