Florida’s Oldest Diner Serves Its Famous Milkshake Out Of A 1932 Rail Car

A sandwich here stacks scrambled eggs, bacon, and ground beef on one bun. Yes, all three, together, on purpose. That wild creation comes from a Florida diner that has been flipping burgers inside an old railroad dining car since 1932. The milkshakes are hand-spun, and the onion rings get battered by hand.

Between Tampa And Gainesville Is An Archaeological Park With Native American History, Fishing, And Trails

Florida's Gulf Coast is a prime, year-round vacation escape, but its tourism hotspots tend to center on its prominent Gulf-side beaches. Inland from the Gulf, however, sits a worthy collection of outdoor attractions preserving Florida's natural, cultural, and historical treasures without any beaches involved. A superb Florida hidden gem for history and nature lovers alike is the small but extraordinary Crystal River Archaeological State Park. With the word "archaeological" in its name, you can probably guess that this park is a bit more history-minded than most Florida state parks. At the same time, this park is far from a stuffy history lecture, and you'll find top-tier inland water recreation along with its historic treasures.

Veterans event renamed in honor of local hero

When the phrase “freedom isn’t free” is heard, the relatives of Interlachen’s Robert H. Jenkins Jr. resonate with it to a different degree than many other families. Jenkins, who has been celebrated as a Putnam County hero, died March 5, 1969, when he threw himself on a live grenade while serving as a Marine in the Vietnam War.

Veterans Day in St. Augustine: Military Memorials & Monuments

In 1918, St. Augustine was preparing for the possibility that its young men would not all come home. The First World War had pulled thousands of Americans into military service, and the city was no exception. A few decades later, another generation would leave for a war on a scale that made the first seem almost impossible to imagine. Their names, their service, and the conflicts they entered would eventually find places in the public landscape of St. Augustine.

'I'm still in disbelief,' Palm Coast chef says of Food Network debut

(Editor's note: This story was updated with new information.) Long before Montanna Brumfield stepped on the set of Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship,” she and her younger brother were staging cooking shows of their own. However, their three-cheese omelet was hardly television material, the Palm Coast resident told The News-Journal. The eggs burned, the results became a lasting family joke, and the young girl who grew up watching Rachael Ray and Emeril Lagasse continued to envision a future in food. This week, that future appeared right on her own TV screen — and Brumfield, taking in the full-circle moment, could barely bring herself to sit down. What is the 'Holiday Baking Championship?' During this season of the hit reality series, which tests contestants' baking skills and creativity through various holiday-themed dessert challenges, Brumfield is competing against 11 other pastry chefs at “Santa’s Village.” Hosted by TV personality Jesse Palmer, the season begins with bakers divided into two teams, the Elf Squad and the Reindeer Crew, before shifting to individual competition. Judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown and Molly Yeh will determine who takes home the championship title and grand prize of $25,000. Montanna Brumfield makes Food Network debut The chef and

10,000-capacity JAX Amphitheater debuts at Jacksonville Fairgrounds

Less than a week before JJ Grey and Mofro were due to take the stage and open the new Jacksonville Amphitheater, crews were busy installing railings and a new robot mower sat in a corner, ready to go to work on the lawn that will soon seat thousands of fans. The amphitheater is on the backside of Duval Hall , the multipurpose venue at the new Jacksonville Fairgrounds. It makes its debut Thursday night, when Jacksonville's own JJ Grey & Mofro take the stage on opening night of the Jacksonville Fair. With a capacity of 10,000 fans, it's the largest purpose-built outdoor concert venue in the Jacksonville market. It holds roughly twice as many fans as the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, and Daily's Place , the downtown Jacksonville amphitheater that is closed this year and next due to EverBank Stadium construction. It's not much smaller than the indoor VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, which can seat around 12,000 for a concert. The fair runs for 11 days , from Nov. 5-15, and there will be a concert in the amphitheater every night. A concert ticket includes access to the fair, but a fair ticket won't get you into the concerts, except for

Timucuan Shell Middens Hold More Than Oyster Shells

The golf club came later. The shell mound was already there. On Fort George Island near Jacksonville, an elegant place built for modern recreation occupies ground shaped by people who lived beside the estuary thousands of years earlier. That overlap is a better beginning for the history of Timucuan shell middens than any comparison to a heap of discarded lunch.
