“For me, travel is synonymous with food. When I explore a new place, I’m not just looking for scenic views and historical landmarks; I’m seeking the heart of the culture through its cuisine. I crave those hidden gems, the off-the-beaten-path spots where locals gather, as well as the renowned restaurants that define a destination’s culinary identity. It’s about more than just eating; it’s about discovering the soul of a place, one flavorful bite at a time.

And what better place to embark on a culinary adventure than the Florida Keys? This island chain is a treasure trove of iconic tastes, from the tangy sweetness of Key lime pie to the freshest tropical seafood and the vibrant flavors of Cuban cuisine. Food is a powerful reason to choose a destination, and memories are often forged when we break bread together on vacation. I love sharing these stories and flavors on my Florida Keys Food Tours. Seeing my guests leave full, content, and with a newfound appreciation for the Keys’ culinary landscape is truly rewarding. I simply love talking about our cuisine!

While our conversation spanned over 30 minutes, it was expertly edited to fit alongside other voices from across the Keys, showcasing the diverse culinary tapestry of our island chain.
