Longboat Key & Sarasota: A Culinary Journey



 

A Culinary Journey to Longboat Key, Florida
March 1 - May 15, 2024


Scrumpdillyicious will be touring Florida's Gulf Coast from early March to mid May, 2024. 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 silky sand beaches, delicious cuisine, stunning Spanish style architecture and thriving theatre arts scene, from the The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art and Ca' d'Zan, to the Sarasota Opera, Asolo Theatre 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 10 weeks of sun, sand and culinary snooping!
