• Three Hours in St. Augustine

  

  December is one of the coldest months to visit Florida and the weather can change seemingly every 20 minutes. It’ll be sunny and clear, then the dark clouds will drift over, rain will fall, then it’ll be sunny, then one more time, the rain will fall, this time as a heavy downpour. I’ll take it […]

• History, Beer, Food & Live Music: Billy’s Tap Room and Grill Is A Must Try

  

  The place couldn’t have been open for more than 20 minutes before I walked through the front door yet most of the seats at the bar were already taken except for one near the end. I quickly bellied up to the bar and was immediately greeted by two couples and the bartender as if they had […]

Add some tasty barbecue to that and it’s just a little slice of heaven, which is exactly what I got at Crabby Chris Beachside Barbecue and Sweets. Well, after waiting three […]

On this trip to Ormond Beach again, however, I broke with tradition simply for the fact that it was absolutely necessary to visit Cakery Creation. Here’s why. Two years […]

• Donnie’s Donuts, Sweet Spot of Ormond Beach: Why You Should Visit

  

  I’m a big fan of donuts, something you may already know if you’ve read my previous posts. But if you missed it, I’ll say it again. Cake donuts and yeast donuts. Jelly, sugar, glazed, and powdered donuts. Bear claws, fritters, twists, chocolate, Bavarian creme, Cruller, French Cruller, Long Johns, old-fashioned, fancy, and donut holes. I […]
