    About this ebook

    There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.

    But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.

    This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.

    “Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.

    For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.

    Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.

    Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.

    Bon Appétit!

      KEY WEST &

      THE FLORIDA KEYS

      Key_West_Sunset_by_VistaDude

      Most people’s idea of a vacation involves sun, sand and sea. The Florida Keys have it all and more. If you are traveling to Key West, you must drive down at least once. After that one drive, you can fly down, but you have to experience this drive at least once in your life. It’s not one of the most famous drives in the world for nothing.

      The incomparable views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico will accompany you throughout your drive. Sometimes, admiring these clear warm waters is not enough. Soon after you pass Key Largo in the Upper Keys, the urge to stop and jump into the water will strike you. No worries, there are plenty of areas along the way where you can pull over and do just that. At times, the water is so shallow you will be walking far out and the warm waters will barely reach knee level. Back in the days when I was an avid scuba diver, we’d stop two or three times along the drive to Key West, fill our tanks at one of the roadside scuba shops, and go diving that very minute.

      Also along the way you will find attractions and activities for just about everyone. From shipwreck museums, to shopping, to haunted houses, to water sports.

      Restaurants offer an abundance of seafood cooked up in a variety of ways. I try to make it a rule to avoid all meats when I go to the Keys. The seafood is so good, so fresh, and so well prepared (even in the simplest crab shack) that you really shouldn’t be eating burgers and steaks.
