This dining reporter has a new home! After a few years in Golden Gate, I recently relocated to East Naples, which opened up an entirely new culinary world. Every neighborhood in Naples and Collier has a unique restaurant scene from ritzy downtown date night spots to casual cultural spots in Golden Gate. I'm excited to explore my new neighborhood's dining options and already have my eye on a few places.

Here's five East Naples and Bayshore restaurants I'd like to check off of my dining passport over the next couple months. If you've visited these spots or have other recommendations, shoot me an email. The best way to reach me is Kendall.Little@NaplesNews.com.

5 places to eat in Golden Gate
After living in Golden Gate for three years, this food and dining reporter has relocated to East Naples. While I'm very excited to try the restaurants around my new neighborhood, I'm bummed I won't be as close to certain Golden Gate dining spots. Golden Gate is often overlooked when looking for local restaurants , but there's a few gems in the Collier neighborhood. Golden Gate is a great area for food with culture, whether it be Cuban, Mexican, Peruvian, or Brazilian. Here's a few Golden Gate restaurants to try if you haven't already. Brasas Steakhouse Details: 11681 Collier Blvd.; 239-799-0069; instagram.com/brasassteakhouseandgrill Brasas is the definition of "don't judge a book by its cover." Located in a strip mall in Golden Gate City, this steakhouse is often overlooked. But Brasas provides something that most steakhouses don't: relaxed ambience and loads of fun. If you're looking for a quiet upscale steakhouse, Brasas isn't for you. There's often live music and dancing to enjoy during dinner. Brasas is where a Brazilian steakhouse meets Cuban cuisine. The best way to try a lot of different types of meat is to order a board. Boards include anywhere from one pound to six pounds of meat,

Shake Shack plans more locations in Southwest Florida
With its first location in Southwest Florida up and running, Shake Shack already anticipates additional locations in Collier and Lee counties. . The trendy burger chain just opened Feb. 20 at Mercato in North Naples but already is building out its next location at 6833 Collier Blvd., a former Pollo Tropical location at Restaurant Row Naples. Daniel Mercado, general manager of the new Shake Shack in Naples, will help open the next regional location, which will launch in the third or fourth quarter of this year, perhaps as early as this summer, he said. The first location in Lee County is targeted to open at least a year from now on Alico Road near Interstate 75 in south Fort Myers. “That actually will be our third location,” said Mercado, who formerly was general manager of the Shake Shack in Coral Gables.
