Once You Crack Into Its All-You-Can-Eat Lobster, This Orlando Buffet On International Drive Ruins Every Other Seafood Night
I can’t eat a regular seafood platter without doing math anymore. One lobster on a plate starts to feel a little stingy. Florida has a buffet where whole lobster comes off the line one at a time, as often as you want to walk back. Snow crab legs, oysters, and prime rib sit nearby, just in case you need a breather.

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

I would like Krispy Kreme and Chuy’s Mexican Restaurant to come to Ocala
It would be wonderful to have a Krispy Kreme Donut Shoppe nearby for everyone to truly enjoy FRESH Donuts daily rather than purchase the same donuts that are a week-old at local grocery stores. Great place to enjoy HOT donuts daily along with fresh coffee with friends in Krispy Kreme Donut Shoppe before taking home some HOT FRESH Donuts. The nearest Krispy Kreme Donut Shoppe is on 13th Street, Gainesville, FL.

New Ocala restaurant opens in former La Cuisine space downtown
Michael Mink, one of the partner/owners of the recently opened First Avenue Bar & Bistro in downtown Ocala, says he believes the group has the right formula for a successful and popular upscale eatery. Mink points out a mixture of location, affordable upscale bistro dishes, relaxed atmosphere for up to 90 guests in five separate dining rooms, and convenient parking combine into a recipe that is sure to please diners. “This is one of the best locations in town,” Mink said about the restaurant at 48 SW First Ave., one block west of the landmark Marion Theatre. It's the space that until earlier this year housed La Cuisine. Mink noted the adjacent off-street parking and the city’s recently completed parking garage nearby. Mink, CEO of the partnership, is joined in the venture by his wife, Kristen; Pat and Kelly Acevedo; and Don and Michelle Gulling. Together they make up the Broadway Hospitality Group. Mink said First Avenue Bar & Bistro will feature American cuisine like venison tenderloin with sautéed leeks and chef’s vegetables, bison NY strip with hot honey glaze, and Verlasso salmon with blood orange. The restaurant’s interior is broken into five separate dining areas with artistic decor to
