TheShrimper wrote:Heather, I beg to differ. Granted, South Dade doesn't have the ambiance of the locales further north, but the quality of food is unrivaled and I have eaten at numerous establishments down there. The best Italian and Mexican I have found is a stones throw away from Keys Gate, on Krome south of Mowry. You know the establishments. The best breakfast I have had in a long time, was at the Chuck Wagon a little further north on 1, just past Wal Mart and across the street. As far as seafood is concerned, a 30 minute drive will get you to Alabama Jacks on Card Sound, and even further to the fine eateries in Key Largo. Yeh, the glitter is not there, but the food quality is. TheShrimper.


I totally agree with ya shrimper - the Italian & Mexican places over on Krome are top-notch....I think we just like variety and places to "go out"...places nearby with some live music and good drinks without spending a lot of money. We've gone to the Mutineer some lately, so that works, but variety is the spice of life :wink: I'll never pass up the food over at Toro Taco or Capri, don't you worry! LOL

P.S: Heather - he was talkin' to me - my name is also Heather :)

Count me in.
I attended most of the gatherings last year and the people were great.
We had a real good time and I could usually convince one of my kinds to come with me.
Let us know when and where.

Last year we had a group that met several times and really had fun. Boca and SouthFloridaWx were our ringleaders...maybe we can convince SouthFloridaWx to hop back over for a weekend now that he's moved to Tampa?

Hey seriously, let's start this season off right.

I'd be up for a meeting too.

If we talk about it no one will go. It like watching an area of thunderstorms Ex 94L. If you watch it every hour it won't develop, leave it alone for 6 hours then we have a depression. Ha Ha only kidding. Rjgator the person that started this thread is trying to get a restaurant in Ft Lauderdale and will let us when he finds out.

Wish I had the time to drive all the way down there to meet with you folks, but just not going to be possible..

However if you guys give me 3 or a half dozen location ideas to meet I will add a poll to this thread for you and you can all vote on a spot.. Winner takes all ;-) If you put a reason why or a little "commercial" if you will as to why to meet at that spot I will add that as well

So Far two places were listed:
1. Quarterdecks in Ft Lauderdale Beach
2. La Carreta resturant in Little Havana

Since were all over the map their has to be compromise to more than 1 or 2 miles from each of the members homes. I'm willing to travel up to 30 miles from my area to meet the S2k memebers down here others should sacrafice too.
