orn and raised in Key West, Tony Estenoz has
also raised his family here. “I loved growing up
here; it is home,” says Estenoz, with a big smile.

“It was like the bar in Cheers, you knew everybody. I
knew every kid in high school.” The hard part for him
was leaving to attend Florida State University. “Suddenly
you’re surrounded by strangers,” he adds. After earning
a degree in hotel and restaurant management, Tony
returned to Key West and was hired to open the delivery
store for Pizza Hut. He then worked for Michael Knowles
at Holiday Inn Beachside in the banquet department
and loved it.
Opportunity kept knocking for Estenoz, this time
it was through the softball team he and his father ran
for the former Blaylock Oil plant in Marathon. Bill, a
Blaylock sales rep, was on the team and asked Tony to
manage a Cinnabon he planned to open downtown.
That deal fell through but Bill ended up buying the
Key Haven Texaco. He eventually moved the Texaco
to its current location at the corner of N. Roosevelt
Boulevard and 1st Street in 1996 and Estenoz became
his managing partner.
The Southernmost Shell isn’t just a filling station.
“The carwash has been a big asset, it’s convenient, soft
cloth and works very well,” says Estenoz. They also
have two new lifts for convenient oil change service.
Tony’s Café offers delicious comfort food including
their award-winning BBQ ribs and brisket. Stop in for
a Cuban coffee and say hi to Katie, their four-legged
mascot. They also deliver.
“I like to get to know someone new every day.” –

hicago’s opened at 610 Greene Street just over
a year ago on Valentine’s Day 2015. Co-owner’s
Ben Richmond, originally from Chicago, and
Scott Loose, originally from Michigan, have been in
Key West for more than 20 years before opening a
restaurant designed with the motto of “Bringing the
Midwest to Key West.” Chicago’s, a restaurant, bar, and
blues club, offers a wonderful alternative to Key West’s
standard Floribbean fare.
Walking up to Chicago’s in the heart of Old
Town you’ll a see a porch with comfortable chairs
and a large sitting area designed to maximize people
watching, enjoying good drink and eats, and puffing
on a full-bodied cigar. Chicago’s offers more than
230 different cigars for sale, all stored in their
temperature-controlled humidor. With one of the
largest walk-in humidors in Key West it is worth
a visit to see the cigars on display under a classic
portrait of Hemingway smoking a stogie.
Inside Chicago’s you’ll find a large wrap-around
bar and tables for both large groups of friends and
intimate dining for two. Delicious and earthy food is
the focus of the restaurant. Seafood options include
local Key West yellowtail and mahi mahi, as well as
hard to find options like catfish and freshwater lake
perch, a true treat if you’ve ever had the chance to
savor these delicate, mild fish fillets from up north.
16 | www.Our-Keys.com | March 2016 | Issue 43
Many of the seafood entrees can be served grilled,
blackened, or breaded. And if you want a Chicagobased delicacy that you can’t find anywhere else in
Key West go for an order of the frog legs!
In addition to seafood, Chicago’s offers a variety
of hearty fare including ribs, pork chops, cornbread,
smoked tomato soup, and mac and cheese. A special
mention, however, must be made for Chicago’s pizza
options. Chicago’s offers both New York style and
authentic deep dish Chicago style pizza. The deep dish
pizza is 16 inches in diameter, holds up to three pounds
of cheese, and can feed ten to twelve people. It takes a
while for this pizza to cook; one good tip is to order
the pizza before you arrive at the restaurant to reduce
wait times. Of course, it’s not hard to wait at Chicago’s:
nightly a jamming blues band will be playing in the
corner stage and there’s also live music at happy hour
between 3:30 and 6:30pm, Monday through Friday.
Chicago’s also offers a smaller 8-inch deep dish pizza
that serves four people.
Chicago’s is open 7 days a week, 11:00am to
midnight Monday through Friday, 11:00am to 4:00am
Friday and Saturday. On Saturday, Latin dancing starts
at midnight and goes to 4:00am. Locals get a 10%
discount. Chicago’s is a great place to relax, eat delicious
food, and chill to the blues.

H
ow cool is your home or office? Is your air

benefits such as controlling the flow of energy, general
architectural aesthetics, and even improving glass
safety. “There is a tremendous energy savings that will
actually put money back into your pocket,” states Rick

is out almost every day of the year, there is damage
potential. Your air conditioner will not have to work as
hard, saving you money.”

fading, and improve efficiency and longevity of your

Key West can help fix that. With the installation of their
window film products, there are many to select from, will
block 99% of UV rays and up to 75% of infrared heat, which
will help you keep your car, a major investment, cooler. It
will also prevent fading and cracking of the vehicles interior.
Experience matters in this industry. Josh Taylor,
Rick’s business partner, has more than 21 years of
experience, certifications, and qualifications. Their
motto is “Protect Your Investments.” Rick Mohe or
