Rice Steams In Banana Leaves At This Family-Run Filipino Kitchen In Florida Where The Lechon Turns Crisp
Smoke drifting from a parked truck in the Florida Panhandle is a better dinner bell than any neon sign. The first time I caught that sweet, peppery cloud, I followed it the way a cartoon character floats toward a pie on a windowsill. What I found was a small, no-frills...

This Florida Restaurant Still Sells Soup For 18 Cents—And Every Brunch Comes With Frozen Irish Coffee
Seafood shacks are a dime a dozen on the Gulf Coast, but there’s a legendary spot in Destin, Florida that trades in all the usual trappings of oceanfront establishments for traditions that are entirely its own. Inside McGuire’s Irish Pub, the moody, maze-like dining room is a far cry from the bright and airy seafood joints most vacationers are used to frequenting. The walls and ceilings are plastered in layers upon layers of dollar bills stapled down by appreciative customers. The restaurant claims they total to at least a million. It’s hard to imagine now considering its incredible scope (the restaurant seats upwards of 500 and also includes a gift shop, on-site brewery, and attached pizza and sushi restaurants), but McGuire’s actually started out as a small, neighborhood pub in a Pensacola shopping center in 1977. Five years later, it moved to a much bigger spot down the road. After that success, the Destin location opened its doors in 1996.

8 Secret Florida Buffets That Serve Real Homemade Comfort Food Just Like Grandma Used To Make
The best comfort food in Florida does not arrive with tweezers, tiny portions, or a speech from the chef. It arrives by the ladle.
