7 Florida Seafood Buffets Where Snow Crab Legs Keep Coming Until You Tap Out

I have a firm rule about snow crab legs. If someone else is doing the steaming and the refilling, I’m not stopping at one plate. Florida has a surprising number of buffets that treat snow crab legs like a main event instead of a rare treat.

Skip the baking: Where to buy Thanksgiving pies in Jacksonville

Any way you slice it, Thanksgiving and Christmas are prime time for pie. For many of us, these holidays create cravings for fresh scratch-made pumpkin, pecan, sweet potato, apple or decadent chocolate cream pie as the dessert centerpiece of our holiday table. The following Jacksonville bakeries are well known for their pies, cakes, and other holiday treats. Don't delay. Thanksgiving historically is the busiest time of year for the bakeries. The pre-order window for pies and other holiday desserts might already have closed (so save this link for next year), but desserts for walk-in customers may still be available. Although some bakeries might have pies available for walk-in customers leading up to the Nov. 26 holiday, there is no guarantee. 1748 Bakehouse 1748 N. Main St. in historic Springfield, (904) 374-2541, 1748bakehouse.com Nov. 13 is the cutoff date to order your apple, pecan or roasted pumpkin pies (also available with gluten-free crusts). Lemon chess and chocolate chess pies are also available. Pickup will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the day before Thanksgiving. Amaretti Desserts 14965 Old St. Augustine Road, Jacksonville, (904) 619-8279, amarettidesserts.com Eight varieties of pies are available, along with cheesecakes.
