Its a cross-cultural mash-up, and its all good.
We were lacking a well-defined style, and that has become my focus.
Save Room For Dessert
Like at any good Florida restaurant, theresKey lime pieon the dessert menu.
Tropical Smokehouse keeps it traditional with a tart filling piled high with whipped cream.
(During the summer, they dip it in chocolate and freeze it on a stick.)

Watch out, Texas.
Florida barbecue might just be the next big thing.
