After writing Florida restaurant articles for years, I've come to believe that Floridians want high-quality food when they splurge on a restaurant meal.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

Diners in Florida are a wonderful way to enjoy some comfort foods and experience nostalgia in one meal. Some diners - like Americana 50's Family Diner - are family-owned and operated.

Florida has plenty of historic restaurants that are fun to visit. Examples are the No Name Pub in Big Pine Key, Joe's Stone Crab in Miami, and The Seminole Inn in Indiantown. However, neither is fast food. And Love Food recently named Florida's "most historic" fast food restaurant. It's not a chain, but it does have an interesting story.
