Florida’s Gulf Islands Says, ‘It’s Time to be a Florida Foodie’
For those of you looking for fresh, flavorful and locally-sourced cuisine, look no further
than some of our independent restaurants right here in Florida’s Gulf Islands. The destination’s
new culinary focus allows visitors to choose from an expanded menu of culinary events, demonstrations,
in-restaurant tastings, and budget-friendly vacation packages. Area growers, restaurateurs, fishermen,
chefs, gourmet and farmer’s markets, hoteliers and specialty shops have all come together to create a
one-of-a-kind culinary travel experience throughout Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, and the mainland
areas of Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch. Dubbed “Time to be a Florida Foodie,” the destination-wide focus
on food and fun is being served in three hearty courses: May 1 through mid-June, September/October 2008,
and January 2009. To explore the tastier side of island life and book specialized vacation packages during
these times, check out the destination’s new web site - www.TimetobeaFoodie.com.
