Half-Pound Burgers And Smoked Brisket Keep Hungry Drivers Coming Back To This Lakeland BBQ Dive

A half-pound beef patty topped with smoked brisket sounds like a dare. At one small roadside spot in Florida, it’s simply lunch. The kitchen opens at 7 AM, and breakfast runs all day. That means a brisket omelette is fair game at noon, and a smoked meat burger is fair game at sunrise. I like a menu that refuses to watch the clock.

This Old-School Florida Diner Still Serves the Kind of Breakfast Everyone Misses

The doors open at 6 a.m. every single day, and by 2 p.m. the grill is done. That short window makes breakfast feel like a race worth winning. The biscuits and sausage gravy here get called world famous. The milkshakes have their own fan club. The whole place leans into a retro 1950s look, so your eggs come with a side of nostalgia.

While most kitchens are mopping floors, this family-owned spot is just warming up. The tortillas are made from scratch, and the menu covers tacos, quesabirrias, burritos, and big quesadillas.

7 Florida Dollar-Stretching Grocery Outlets Where Brand-Name Pantry Staples Fill A Whole Cart

My favorite grocery fact this year involves a Florida salvage store that once sold bikes. Not bike baskets, actual bikes, at up to 60 percent off, a few aisles from the canned beans. That’s the energy of the stores on this list. They buy overstock, closeouts, and reclaimed goods, then...

Classic, vintage black and white photos show Publix in the early days

Throughout history, a long list of firsts have taken place. First car. First flight in space. First smartphone. You name it, there's a "first" attached to it. People who live in Florida might be interested in another kind of first: When and where was the first Publix in the Sunshine State? The answer is Winter Haven.
