Grouper cheeks, Sea Sea Riders
Ooohhh, those rosy cheeks are so cute! Especially covered in spicy batter and doused in cayenne tartar sauce.
Cup of posole, Casa Tina
Mexi-comfort food, this is chunky grits from south of the border, mixed with deeply flavorful ancho chili and a lot of lovin'.

Guinness gravy fries, Flanagan's Irish Pub
Just in case I got too fancy for you with The Black Pearl.
Roasted chicken breast, Kelly's For Just About … Anything
The faux ravioli made with goat cheese and beets are the real draw.
Slice of pie at … D'oh
