When Sandra and I travel the Sunshine State, there are times we need groceries. And as far as we can tell, no single store or chain screams "Florida" more than Publix.
 Sometimes we just need a bottle of water or some snacks. Other times, a "Pub Sub" is on the menu. After all, we love to stop where...
Well, we discovered a new place in Lake Wales - Brake Burger Garage. It came just in time for us to celebrate "Burger Week" in Polk County. Our only question is, "How had we missed this place for so long?"
We have dined at other automotive-themed restaurants like Ford's Garage, which has several locations in Florida. But this is a...
Sometimes Sandra and I go to a place for the food, sometimes for the ambience - but this time it was for the entertainment. Our friend Corey Greenway from the Outta Hand Band was performing with another band member, Roger Brutus under the moniker "Prime Country."
I must admit, the screened in room at the Grove House was quite warm...
  Greek food was not on the list Sandra and I took the funmobile off to Sarasota. We actually were in search of some bargains and fresh produce (more on that later). We had just arrived at Bradenton. So, we decided to get off at the University Town Center to see what we could find. At the end of...
If you have ever wanted to have dinner in the treetops - dining at Norwood's is for you. Having found this gem in New Smyrna Beach several years ago, we'd wanted to get around to blogging it. But seeing as how this year will mark there 75th anniversary, we just couldn't wait any longer.
The location has been one kind...
While looking for a great breakfast in Venice recently, we rediscovered the Original Word of Mouth. Actually, we'd found this place once before - the first time we visited "The Sharktooth Capital of the World." And just like the first time, we had a wonderful experience.
The Restaurant
The Venice location is the second Original Word of Mouth, causing me to...
We always are looking for a good breakfast and we found one in Osprey at A Good Day Cafe. Their slogan is "A Good Day Starts Here" and as far as we're concerned, they're right.
Actually, we found this little gem tucked in the corner of the Blackburn Point shopping center just off Tamiami Trail. It's the kind of place...
So we were in Crystal River when we had our first BubbaQue's experience. Actually, we were shopping in the Heritage Village section when we saw the brightly colored "BubbaQue's - Real Pit Grillin' "sign encouraging us to stop by for lunch.
And we were ready for some lunch (it was way past time). So we decided...
When we read the reviews of The Biscuit Barn, little did we know we were about to be treated to the best biscuits in Florida. We have read rave reviews before, however, upon our arrival the food was good but not great. This time we were more than pleasantly surprised.
It was on our recent...
Those who follow us know we like to explore the Sunshine State for the fun and funky. However, sometimes we just want to take a safe Florida vacation where we have some old favorites and don't have to worry. Such was our last foray over to the Gulf.
We booked a couple of nights at...
