A Culinary Journey to Longboat Key, Florida
March 6 - May 14, 2023
Scrumpdillyicious will be touring the Longboat Key area along Florida's Gulf coast from early March to mid May, 2023. Join me online each week as we journey through Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island and Sarasota, capturing the culinary and cultural and pulse of this little corner of paradise, renowned for it's sugar sand beaches, fabulous cuisine, stunning Spanish style architecture and thriving theatre arts scene, from the The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and Ca' d'Zan, to the Sarasota Opera and Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe.
Our Culinary Journey will take us from Longboat Key to St Armand's Circle and Sarasota. We'll then journey up to Anna Maria Island, south to Venice and Naples, as we explore the diverse culinary influences and regional ingredients of Florida's diverse cuisine, affectionately coined as “Floribbean” — a vibrant mix of Puerto Rican, Cuban, Jamaican, Haitian, Colombian, Panamanian, and Bahamian dishes. From the Spanish settlers in the early 16th-century to the Cuban, Caribbean and African immigrants, this rich fusion of exotic and complex cuisines has created a food culture that continues to evolve. So grab your appetite as we head south for 11 weeks of sun, sand and culinary snooping!
