I will start by saying that I really like this place. The Flaming Buoy Filet Co. is located at 1100 Packer Street, at the corner of Virginia. This is the former digs of Ambrosia, and some other places in between. Although only open since mid-November 2009, The Flaming Buoy (next […]

Comfort food means many things to many people. In the food world most people would think of a big bowl of chicken soup or a plate of macaroni and cheese. Surprisingly, Mexican food is also something I would classify as comfort food. A nice toasty tortilla filled with cheese and […]
As you know by now, the people of Key West get rather excited about a lot of things. Take, for example, the Christmas parade, just a month after the Fantasy Fest parade. You may recall the Grinch sitting next to me. Maybe he was still hung over from Fantasy Fest. […]
The Fish House is a Key Largo institution. Located at Mile Marker 102, it is a large restaurant, dark inside with tchotchkes everywhere. Everything from palm tree Christmas lights to pictures of fish cover the walls. I started the meal with a giant ice tea. It must have been at […]

When we were in Spain in 2007, we ate plenty of tapas. It is hard to avoid there, and really, why would you want to? Here, on the other hand, very easy to avoid. I went to Santiago’s Bodega with 3 other people, and as they serve small plates, we […]
On the heels of eating the best smoked fish dip EVER (there, I said it) from Eaton Street Seafood, we went to Hogfish Bar and Grill on Stock Island for lunch. In case you are not familiar with hogfish, or as it is sometimes erroneously referred to – hog snapper, […]
