Allow me digress…I still have several FLORIDA stops to share with you on our trip North. (Apparently those Zipper Peas in Alabama were a highlight in my subconscious…) So allow me to share several more “highlights” in Central and Northern Florida! We got a VERY early start as we headed North after our winter […]
Mom’s Kitchen – Dothan, Alabama
Our first night on the road on our trip North found us in Dothan, Alabama. And since I’m always looking for REAL Southern food when we’re in the South, we just HAD to eat at a place called Mom’s Kitchen. Our server was a very friendly and helpful young lady named Margaret. When we ordered […]
Bobby Rubino’s – Pompano Beach, Florida
You know the old saying…If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is…or maybe it isn’t…sort of! Last week we enjoyed a great meal…and it didn’t break the bank! For several years we’ve seen coupons in our local paper for a rib place called Bobby Rubino’s. And they offer TWO rib dinners with […]
Andre’s Bakery and Bistro – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
So…What’s in a NAME?? Fred rode his bike past Julian’s…a restaurant where we’ve eaten many times. He rode by again the next day…and the Julian’s sign was gone. One window in the restaurant now says something like The Midnight Wine Bar…and the other window says Andre’s Bakery…so…What’s Up with THAT? We decided to […]
The Chart House – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
If you’re looking for a great spot to sit outside by the water, enjoy a cold beverage, and consume some AMAZING (and beautiful) appetizers…then you’d better give The Chart House in Fort Lauderdale a try. Friends Debbie and Toni took us there last night…and check out the food we enjoyed! The appetizers included […]
The Downtowner – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
When we got to the end of the line on the Water Taxi, I asked the Captain if he would make a “whistle stop” for us at the Downtowner. (A whistle stop is an unscheduled stop.) He obliged, and we jumped off the boat onto the dock and walked across the street to an outside […]
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza – Pompano Beach, Florida
It’s Sunday night…so we considered a pizza…So we decided to “broaden our horizons” and check out a place we’ve never eaten…Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in Pompano Beach. We liked everything about our meal…but we just didn’t LOVE it. And here is one of the few times I have to […]
Crazy Wok – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I’ve had a hankering for Chinese food for while now, so tonight I Googled our neighborhood choices and I found Crazy Wok on Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale. It’s close by, so we hopped in the car and went to check it out. When we walked in we were surprised to see a tastefully decorated […]
The Sun Tower Sandbar Grill – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Our friend Linda left today for the frozen tundra otherwise known as OHIO…so we decided to take her to breakfast yesterday for one last glimpse of of Paradise before she left. So we took her to our newest beach breakfast hideaway known as the Sun Tower Sandbar Grille. http://suntowerhotelsuites.com/our-restaurant A Hidden Gem… A beautiful morning […]
The Whole Enchilada Fresh Mexican Grill – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Sometimes I’m NOT in the mood for pizza. So even though it was Sunday night (our typical pizza night) we wanted to try something different…and Mexican food sounded good. The Whole Enchilada Fresh Mexican Grill was our choice…and it turned out to be a great one. The “fast food” concept isn’t new (and the menu […]
