February 28 - May 10, 2025
Scrumpdillyicious will be touring the Longboat Key area along Florida's Gulf coast from the end of February to mid May, 2025. Join me online each week as we journey through Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key and Sarasota, capturing the cultural and culinary pulse of this little corner of paradise, renowned for it's sugar-sand beaches, fabulous cuisine, stunning Spanish style architecture and thriving theatre arts, museums and opera scene on Florida's cultural coast.
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, over to Tampa then south to Naples, as we explore the diverse culinary influences and regional ingredients of Florida's diverse cuisine. From the Spanish settlers in the early 16th century to the Cuban, Caribbean and African immigrants, the rich fusion of exotic and complex cuisines has created a food culture that continues to evolve, in addition to native seafood specialties such as shrimp, grouper, Bay scallops and pompano along with unique local dishes as stone crab, conch fritters and Key Lime Pie. So grab your appetite as we head south for two and half months of sun, sand and culinary snooping!
