Our bike adventures often include food. (almost always.. ha!)
Ron suggested that we include a “bike & bite” update from time to time.
Bike & Bite – Key Largo, FL 2/28/13
We took a night ride for dinner and dessert. (Remember, there’s an excellent bike path here). We went to locally-owned son and mother restaurant, Category 3. I’d read that they were famous for burgers, and I don’t eat too much beef, but I thought we’d give it a shot. Excellent food, friendly service, and we ended up chatting with the owner, Bill. We’re already planning to stop by on our way back north in a month.
Bill the owner took this pic for us in front of his smoker.
There are some burgers here that I haven’t imagined before. The shrimp scampi burger is pretty intriguing…
Ron and I split the Cat V burger stuffed with jalapeño, bacon, pepper jack cheese and topped with (fresh, hot) jalapeño.
Dessert #1: we got a bourbon bacon brownie to go from Cat 3… (saving it to share with Bruce tomorrow). Dessert #2: locals recommended Mr. C’s amazing homemade coconut ice cream. We also tried the awesome peanut butter ice cream. (It’s a good thing we’ve basically only eaten fish during the last week).
Makes me hungry!!
That sammich looks so good! I love the Bike & Bite idea. Please promise you will never cover fast food, lol.
My mouth is still burning.
Joe… you should meet us at Cat 3 on 4/1/13…!! Jamie… only local restaurants in the keys, and every place has local fish. It’s amazing.
Oh, wow, would love to but I will be camping in southern GA at HIGH FALLS STATE PARK from Arrival Date: Tue Mar 26 2013. Departure Date: Tue Apr 2 2013. Then to northern Georgia: BLACK ROCK MOUNTAIN STATE PARK Arrival Date: Wed Apr 3 2013. Departure Date: Wed Apr 10 2013. Come see us. Good biking!
PS: They do have cottages there in the park.
Black Rock isn’t exactly on the way home, but maybe! I will see about detouring in that direction. It would be fun…
