Authentic New Jersey Bagels Are Hiding at This Unassuming Florida Shop

Pork roll on a bagel, served in Florida. That one menu detail alone tells you this shop knows exactly who it’s cooking for. The signs inside are shaped like New Jersey license plates. A window lets you watch bagels getting boiled before they bake. I like how the whole place feels built by someone who missed home and decided to fix it.

Legendary steakhouse near Sarasota makes OpenTable's Top 100

One of Florida’s most famous steakhouses, and a longtime dining destination for Sarasota-area food lovers willing to make the drive north, has earned another national honor. Bern’s Steak House in Tampa is one of just two Florida restaurants to make OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2026. The annual list, released Wednesday, Nov. 4, spans 21 states and Washington, D.C. The recognition comes less than a year after USA TODAY, a sister publication of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, named Bern’s Steak House one of the "Best steakhouses in America" on its 2025 list of 20 beloved local spots worth a road trip. Open since 1956, Bern’s Steak House has attracted everyone from mafiosos to at least one sitting U.S. president, all while building its reputation on hand-trimmed, in-house-aged beef and a renowned wine collection. Its famously over-the-top décor has even been likened to “Dracula’s bordello.” For the uninitiated, a meal at Bern’s Steak House is much more than ordering a steak. Must-try menu items include the Delmonico steak or bone-in tenderloin and French onion soup au gratin. After dinner downstairs, guests can head upstairs to the cozy Harry Waugh Dessert Room for classics such as Bananas Foster or Baked Alaska,

What a great time to be on local waters as Red October blends into Red November, and the hot inshore redfish bite continues – hopefully all the way to turkey-time.
