This is the title of a thread on the Fodors.com message boards. We all know my answer to this. But the actual issue here is travel. Every place is worth it at least once. How else will you know if you want to go back? This is the post, taken […]

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. […]
You probably never heard of Ilo Ferreira. Neither had I. One day, several months ago, I heard a guy singing a catchy tune on (where else?) Radio Margaritaville. My little radio display simply read “Ilo”. As it turns out, Jimmy Buffett was hanging out in a bar in the Cape […]
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 […]

This year marked the 16th annual Master Chef Competition benefiting the MARC House (Monroe Association for ReMARCable Citizens). The Westin provided a great location on the pier, complete with tents and far too few places to sit, or even lean. Chefs from all over Key West were in attendance hoping […]
Duval Street stretches from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. It is about a mile long. Last Saturday evening, as part of the Key West Food and Wine Festival, there was a wine tasting that traversed the entire street. Galleries, restaurants, shops and bars had stations set up […]
