American Press Travel News–Dec 17th, 2020–Port St. Lucie, FL-Bob and Barb “On the Road Again”-this time visiting and tastingat Sweet Basil Italiano and next door at Pistachio’s Ice Cream & Coffee Bar. We love chicken Francais! Their entree’ of this dish had chicken breast dipped in egg batter, sauteed in lemon butter sauce with herbs and served over a perfect al dente’ fettuccine. We also tried fresh little-neck clams Marinara. Frankly everything from their Margherita Pizza to garlic knots were spectacular!

DJ’s Diner & Seafood Grill Like the 1950’s Great Foods, Great Service-Very Nice People!

AmericanPressTravelNews- Feb.-11th, Bob and Barb “On The Road Again” this time in Key Largo at DJ’s Diner & Seafood Grill.

Besides waffles, pancakes, eggs any way you like, we probably enjoyed the best pot roast luncheon ever! D.J. Miller owner was the 1st Miami Subs franchisee, and he was instrumental in creating their menu. D.J. told me he decided to follow his family tradition and keep the spirit of a 50’s diner, at the same time being trendy and a crossover to classy and sexy foods, too! Here you can get a fab burger, or a grouper piccata, a salad with fish or shrimp, or just the fore mentioned incredible meat and taters. Formerly the Port Largo Coffee Shop opened in 1957, the newer D’J’s opened in the same location in 2000. Very highly recommended!

D.J’s Diner & Seafood Grill is located on 99411 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037 (305) 451-2999.  [email protected]

Pygmy women and girls in the Ituri Rain Forest in the Congo. A few miles from where we first saw a very wild gorilla. We stayed and broke "bread" (roast snake) with some members of a family group of Pygmies. I hunted with them too (see story in my book: "Africa on a Pin & a Prayer)."
