When we heard hear news about a year and a half ago that the vacant pad building in the shopping center near our house was about to get a new tenant, we were thrilled. When we heard that it was going to be a Duffy’s, we were even more excited. You see, in our suburb … Read more

If you are looking for the freshest seafood on the waterway, look no further than Blue Moon Fish Company in Fort Lauderdale. Whether it’s a romantic meal, special occasion, or “just because,” this destination, off of Commercial and 95, serves up one of the best Sunday brunches in the area.  Known among locals, seasonal residents, … Read more

As you may have read in my review of the Weston Duffy’s, I’m a regular at the bars/restaurants during the weekday lunch hours. Since I work from home, I make sure to always go out for lunch. It’s mostly as a reason to get out of the house so I don’t go stir crazy. Along … Read more

This my favorite South Beach hangout.  I normally don’t sit inside in the formal dining room, but rather I spend my time at the outdoor bar or in the seating by the water.  It reminds me of Blue Moon Fishing Company in Fort Lauderdale, but is much more “Miami” and has a much more sophisticated … Read more

When you go to a place that is run by the son of the guy who started Hooters, you have an idea of what kind of establishment you’ll be getting into. Twin Peaks is like Hooters on steroids. Based in Dallas, TX, I had heard about this place before we had any locations here in … Read more

I’ve been to YOLO (You Only Live Once) a few times and have always had a great time here. Located in the heart of Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale, this is a place for all hours, whether it be stopping in for brunch on the weekends or staying out to closing time with some drinks at … Read more

Ever since I was a frequenter of The Grilled Cheeserie food truck in Nashville when I lived there, I’ve been longing to find a place to go out and get a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich, unlike anything that I could make on my own at home. Sure, a grilled cheese is simple to make, but … Read more

Update:  Sadly, with heavy hearts, we are here to report that Substantial Subs in Weston, a community staple, has closed.  Our memories will last and this review will not be taken down, for nostalgia’s purposes.  We have very fond memories of this place. I used to live right across the street from this place, and … Read more

This shop location in Weston used to be the home of Udder Sweets, an ice cream parlor (along with bulk candy) and I loved taking my nephew here all the time for a treat. Like so many tenants in Weston Town Center, they eventually closed their doors and we were pretty bummed that we had … Read more
