First Avenue Bar & Bistro Opens in Former La Cuisine Space in downtown Ocala
OCALA, FL (352Today.com) – When First Avenue Bar & Bistro was announced, my first thought was immediate: This had to be special. It was taking over the former home of La Cuisine, the French restaurant whose farewell Facebook post was filled with hundreds of comments from locals who had marked birthdays, anniversaries, and ordinary Tuesday nights at its tables. La Cuisine’s chapter had been a meaningful one. The name on the door has changed. The culinary chapter on that corner has not closed.

Popular food truck reimagined as burger joint in Leesburg
If you're craving that perfect, crispy-edged smashburger, Leesburg has a new brick-and-mortar spot in an old familiar building. Willy Buck's Backyard Grill put down roots at 1317 S. 14th St., is serving up serious flavor and hometown hospitality. It's been gaining a following and was packed during our lunchtime visit after the Leesburg butterfly release last week. Who are the owners? Owners Michael and Shanrika Brown have completely transformed the former Dairy Ranch building into a vibrant, family friendly destination. While their slow-smoked brisket and pulled pork are definitely crowd-pleasers, the star of the show for burger purists is undeniably The Classic Smash. How did they get their name? The name Willy Buck’s brings together two distinct inspirations from the owner's journey. "Willy" pays homage to the original Willys Overland Jeep — a nod to the food trailer’s beginnings at the Jeep Outpost — as well as the brand’s talking pig mascot. Meanwhile, "Buck" comes directly from Michael’s own personal nickname. .oembed-frame { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; border: 0; } What are the burgers like? Smashburgers are their claim to fame. Willy Buck's fries up 100% beef smashed on a blisteringly hot flat top for that irresistible, caramelized
