Episode 102: The Real Florida Keys: A Local's Guide to Food and Things to Do

Florida Spectacular

This week "The Florida Spectacular" welcomes back Keys historian Brad Bertelli. Brad talks about some little-known Keys history (including a deserted island), but then he talks about where the locals eat in the Florida Keys. To wrap it all up, he talks about some of what he thinks are the most special places in the Keys (hint: get in or on the water!)
Headed to the Keys soon? Stop by Robbie's Marina and have Brad mix up a rumrunner for you!
