We have several go-to places when we want to dine in Sarasota. One place we always know we can get a great lunch is at Newk's Eatery. Nestled in University Park - it's one of only three in the Sunshine State. The others are in Clearwater and Palm Beach Gardens respectively.
On our way home from a trip up north, we were looking to find somewhere to explore and a wonderful restaurant at which to dine. We saw the sign for the DeLand Historic District. Subsequently, Mrs. Funmeister found the Santorini Restaurant home of Greek cuisine.

They are quick to tell you at Joe's...
We were in Deland for their weekly farmer's market and discovered Bake Chop. This probably was the most rewarding dining experience we've had since finding Cafe Evergreen in Nokomis.
