Sam, if you want a change from your regular haunts..

Have you tried Blue Collar? Same guy(s) own Mignonette oyster bar. In Little Haiti/MIMO area.


I vastly prefer The Federal, over Blue Collar. I have eaten in them both, and fairly often.
The best restaurant, to my taste, in that stretch of Biscayne, is NiDo Caffe.
Others in the area that we frequent are Buena Vista, Limonni, Black Brick, Sugar Cane, Salumeria 101, City Hall and Kouzina.

Cool. Sounds like you're all dialed in for that area. I'm gonna have to try Federal.

from our condo, we can walk to probably 50 different restaurants. One, Enriqueta's, has stunningly delicious Cuban food. The portions are large, the price is very reasonable. El servicio es malo si no hablas ingl�s. shocked

Sounds good, Sam!

Yo hablo algo espanol. Y, yo trato siempre! Comes in handy when I'm fishin' south Yucatan, MX.

If you want to venture up above the Mason Dixon line (207th St) in the future, I've got a few favorites up here. smile

my last trip up to Bass Pro, decided not to come back on I-95, because of a huge wreck at the Interstate/Turnpike/Palmetto junction.
Took Old Griffin Road over to US 1, and then South. I saw a lot of interesting looking restaurants on the way down to Miami. Aventura is full of great restaurants.

Sam, now you got it. You're in my candy store.

Make friends with front entry turnstile crew and gun counter. Bring 'em some of your good schit to fondle or good pics, and they'll get to love you.

Tell the dickhead with the 400 lb hog pic up front with his daughter to GFY. smile

He popped that one full charge, hog quartered him, .44 mag, bang.
Phugger. smile

Stay off the main drags down here. They'll get you killed.

Sam, If you made it to Griffin Rd, then you're Golden. Try Dairy Belle in Dania on US1, just south of Dania cutoff canal where the big snook live. smile

2 Canadian girls run a converted Dairy Queen. Best burger food in town for the money. They even have Poutine. The Frogs love it. smile

Enjoy.

I had to Google "poutine". I'll take your word that it's good. smile

Here in Gainesville, we are getting our own Bass Pro shop. The site prep is going on now, and it should be open by 2016. This will be a life changer for me. The nearest one now, is down in Orlando.

Denny, I have probably 60+ of the large Mountain House cans stashed away, along with many of the Mountain House pouches. I also have cases of MREs, and other similar items in the larder.
Still, if a bargain presents itself........... smile

Sam have you tried the Mountain House products? Assuming you did before you purchased. As I recall, you also said the Walmart products were good as well. Do you prefer one over the other is my question?

I just bought about a dozen single serving packs of Mountain House at Walmart to try. Powered eggs. beef strag, lasagna, mac and cheese, spaghetti and some others. Even bought the ice cream sandwich.

Are there any that you just absolutely disliked?

David, I have been using MH freeze dried products for many years. Can't recall any that I disliked, but there are some that I favor. I am not really a fan of the breakfast selections.
My purchases are price driven. My stock is for that possible time in the future, when 'things go South', so to speak.
Best source I have found, is Emergency Essentials They are having a sale now.
I do a lot of camping and hiking, and like the MH products for that use. Quick, nourishing, tasty.
WalMart sells MH, as well as the Coleman brand freeze dried pouches, which, parenthetically speaking, suck.
Wise brand also suck. Synthetic meat, and way too much salt.

Sam, you hit it on the head. That's the problem with a lot of those freeze dried products. Too much salt.

I've seen some of those single serving packages with 1600 mg's of sodium.

Heck, 880 mg's in some large cans of soup are a lot!

Sodium,.... ???

Made the mistake of buying a can of Spam about a year ago.

3-4 of them sliced "steaks" and the room was spinning.

Never again.

As a rule, if it is in a can, or box, best to not eat.
