Spicy conch fritters deep fried until golden brown with Creole tartar sauce
A friend of mine, Shipwreck Sally, is from the Bahamas and she gave me this recipe. This is a traditional
Bahamian recipe that is made with conch. That wonderful shellfish that is delicious,
but not so easy to find outside of the Bahamas. Whenever we would make a run through
the Conch Republic, we were sure to pick up enough to get us by for a while.

Jack “Legs” Diamond Cheeseburger – 11.75
I got this recipe from Johnny and Bobby K.’s father, the “Baptist Bootlegger.”
Jack was known for leading a rather flamboyant lifestyle. He was a very energetic individual ;
some say his nickname "Legs" derived either from him being a good dancer or from how fast
he could escape his enemies.

tomatoes, and onions drizzled with olive oil and red vinegar in a sun-dried tomato wrap

like his temper… hot and spicy.

When the feds started prohibition, old Captain Billy McCoy began running rum from Bimini and the rest of
the Bahamas into South Florida through Government Cut. We would pick up the goods down in Miami
and head our separate ways. Old Billy never watered down his booze… he was the “Real McCoy.”
Another one of my favorites from Marie’s family.

is served on authentic medianoche bread baked in Tampa and sent to us daily.
