The Foodie meetup group was 40 members strong, and we settled in to order drinks from their extensive […]
I always get excited when I hear about new restaurants opening in Indian River County! New mom & pop restaurants are the lifeblood of our local economy, and a lot, if not all of that money ends up staying in our community. By dining at the large national chains, you are likely helping a CEO […]

I’ll admit it, I’m not a big beer drinker, but when I do indulge, I prefer local craft beers. I’ve definitely come a long way with my knowledge over the past several years, and one thing that surprised me is that I actually prefer stouts and porters over light beers. That is the direct opposite […]

Who’s craving a big juicy cheeseburger right about now? I like mine made with a soft brioche bun that’s been toasted and slathered with a good roasted garlic aioli. A good quality beef patty is key to any burger and it must be cooked to a perfect medium with two slices of a sharp cheddar […]
