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.

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.

Cody Roberts walked into the Green River Bar joking that he’d found a lost cattle dog. The woman tending bar that evening seemed to know what would happen next. “The bartender goes, ‘Cody, you better not bring in a fucking lion,’” an eyewitness recalled. “She knew he was going to bring something in that was not a dog.”

When homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it usually means there will be an intended purpose to keep the structure alive whether it’s through historic restoration, repurposing, or general maintenance. Sometimes, too, these places get demolished.

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone.
