One try and you'll want to go back to Pompeii

It really doesn't get much better than this. It is my day off. The kids are out tormenting the neighbors (i.e., not at home), hubby is golfing and it is a gorgeous 65 degrees out. I'm sitting in the backyard with an amazing book (In the Woods, by Tana French) and a plate of leftover pizza from Pompeii. Now I ask you: What more could one woman want?

Beach Buds in Jacksonville Beach does chicken right

Beach Buds Chicken is now my go-to chicken place. And judging from the recent visit I'm not alone. The place is a slip of a place with just six tables. It's located in the corner of the Penman Square strip mall on Penman Road in Jacksonville Beach. It's an "order in the front and pick it up in the side" kind of place. When you walk in, grab a paper menu by the register; they don't have a menu board to scan.

Zodiac Grill owners expand their popularity to Bistro 41

Bistro 41? on Philips Highway has two serious selling points going for it already. No. 1, it is owned by Jerry and Lulia Ewais, the well-known proprietors of Zodiac Grill. Zodiac is an institution in downtown Jacksonville, with every table taken every day with foodies dying for their fix of hummus, moussaka or Greek salad. I make it a point to go at least once a week.
