Peanut Shells Cover The Floor At This Old-School Florida Saloon Serving Ribeyes And Live Music
Some restaurants ask diners to keep the floor tidy. One spot in Cape Coral, Florida, practically hands out the permission slip to do the opposite. Free peanuts land on every table, and the shells end up right where tradition says they belong: under your boots. The steaks are thick, the walls are crowded with decor, and the weekend nights stretch late with music and karaoke.

Popular Fort Myers pizza shop wins America's Best Dessert Pizza title
Enrico Aguila is no stranger to national and international competitions. In just two years, the owner of Uncle Rico’s Pizza in Fort Myers has won or placed in high-profile events in Orlando, Las Vegas, California and Ohio. And, along the way, he was selected as a competing member of the US Pizza Team. But (self-dubbed) Southwest Florida’s favorite uncle, he never takes anything for granted. “You never know what’s going to happen when you’re competing,” said Aguila, who opened his award-winning old-school pizza shop with his wife Cira in March of 2022. “You can have your best day or your worst.” Fortunately for him, Oct. 11 was an outstanding day. That morning he competed in The Great American Pizza Challenge at the Pizza Expo in Columbus, Ohio. “I made the pizza at 10 and got a text when we were at a restaurant at 7:30 that night,” Aguila said. “I started tearing up.” That’s when he learned his Peruvian-inspired entry was named America’s Best Dessert Pizza. “It was perfect,” Cira said. “It came out better than the test ones,” Aguila said. “One thousand percent better.” He got the idea to make a dessert pie during the same competition a year
