At This Amish-Style Store In Florida, You Leave With Shoofly Pie, Whoopie Pies, And Made-To-Order Deli Sandwiches

Shoofly pie, Lebanon sweet bologna, and Martin’s chips share shelf space in one small shop. The surprise is that the shop isn’t in Pennsylvania. I love that a single stop can pack so much Pennsylvania Dutch flavor into one modest room. Whoopie pies, pickled eggs, and whole pickles all compete for attention.

Fish So Fresh It Practically Jumps Onto Your Plate Draws Crowds to Tarpon Springs, Florida

A server sets a plate of cheese on fire right at the table, and somebody shouts “Opa!” That’s just the appetizer at a casual Greek spot I keep thinking about. The menu leans hard into grilled seafood, from charbroiled octopus to a grouper dish named after the restaurant itself. There’s lemony chicken soup, garlicky dips, and Greek potatoes that seem to steal the show from almost everything around them.
