The Top 5 Restaurants in South Florida

Help Support the Show. Thank you. [https://buymeacoffee.com/billmonty0b] You know this episode could have been titled Meals From South Florida because I recently sent out the following question in a survey; If you have a friend coming to South Florida for the first time, what would be the one restaurant that you would take them to? The answers might surprise you and the #1 absolutely surprised me. Is your fave eating spot on the list? Le Tub? Joe's Stone Crabs? The Mai Kai Restaurant? Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor? Who made the list and who didn't? And who got voted #1? Let's Take a TALK down Restaurant Row to see what you and your South Florida neighbors named as the one restaurant to take a first-time visitor.

William and Mary Brickell: Pioneers of South Florida
