Elwood’s friend Harvey was always by his side and the whole town knew about… Read More "Farmer’s Table, Boca Raton"

Stone crab season is underway in Florida! October 15 marked the date when these sought after delights began showing up on restaurant menus slightly ahead of the snowbirds. In case you’re wondering, the season ends May 15, around the same time the snowbirds leave. Coincidence? I don’t think so. When… Read More "Catfish Deweys, Oakland Park"

Prime Catch has been serving up seafood with an Intracoastal view since 2004.

“Casual” was the theme this past Friday when a friend and I headed a bit to the south to hit up a Fort Lauderdale beach spot that has been quenching thirsts and filling bellies since 1997 – the Quarterdeck. Located at the south end of Las Olas Blvd. just a… Read More "The Quarterdeck, Los Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale"

There aren’t too many places I go out to in Boynton Beach. Sure, there’s Prime Catch for seafood and an intracoastal view, the chain restaurants near the Boynton Beach Mall and… Sweetwater Bar and Grill.

I’ve been on a quest lately to try as many burgers in Palm Beach and Broward Counties as I can. There’s no shortage of places to grab a cheeseburger with extra bacon, some American cheese and plenty of pickles. Each restaurant or bar serving up the beefy goodness has their… Read More "The Habit Burger Grill, Delray Beach"
