Chicken Guy is the addition students have waited for

As a senior at Florida Southern College, I have watched the dining options on campus change almost every year. From renovations to Wynee’s Bistro to new food concepts, the college has continued to find ways to improve the student dining experience. While the loss of Steak ’n Shake may be disappointing for some students, I believe Chicken Guy is a wonderful addition to campus.

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.

At This Amish-Style Store In Florida, You Leave With Shoofly Pie, Whoopie Pies, And Made-To-Order Deli Sandwiches

Shoofly pie, Lebanon sweet bologna, and Martin’s chips share shelf space in one small shop. The surprise is that the shop isn’t in Pennsylvania. I love that a single stop can pack so much Pennsylvania Dutch flavor into one modest room. Whoopie pies, pickled eggs, and whole pickles all compete for attention.
