I'm looking forward to following you on Twitter and taking a look at that calendar. With Key West being one of my favorite places ever, I love hearing about other people's experiences, food tastes, and hotel choices there. I'm going to have to check out The Garden Hotel.<br /><br />I vote for Key Lime Day, too. And, Lucy, I'm also one of those rare lima bean lovers, so Lima Bean Day sounds great to me. <br /><br />Rhys, I enjoyed Santiago's Bodega, too, but it is definitely a place you need to get reservations, and be careful that you reserve a table at the Key West Santiago Bodega on Open Table. There's one in Miami, too, and guess who arrived at the Key West one, having made a reservation at the Miami one. I did get to eat there another night. And, I'm going to push Firefly Restaurant, too, which is also on Petronia St., before you reach Santiago Bodega's. Firefly has the most delicious dessert I've ever tasted, key lime cake made from the chef's grandmother's recipe. Forget Death by Chocolate. Death by Key Lime Cake would be much better.<br /><br />So cool that you are going to be a character in Killer Takeout, John-Bryan. Lucy, you have a role for a passionate tourist? Hehehe!

Within 3 months I had to drop everything and start a whole different life.<br /><br />There have been some real food holiday clunkers and huge successes. I created on a whim 'tater tot day' and in 2 hours it was a trending topic globally. The least likes food holiday of the year is always fruitcake day. I keep it on theca lender because it's part of our food history. They say that only 10% of all fruitcakes are ever eaten and they are the most re-gifted food.<br /><br />The 'holiday' I got the most flack from was September 11 being Hot Cross Buns Day. I did my research and felt the idea of celebrating the 'day' with 'soul cakes' seemed appropriate. The year before I saw so many bakers serving them on September 11 in New York. I didn't really know what they were until I researched their history and meaning.<br /><br />That being said, I got a lot of flack the first year, now it's slowly becoming a staple to commemorate the day that we all will never forget... <br /><br />I'm ready to create National Key Lime Pie day but need direction... when is the time of year to celebrate it? Spring, Summer, Fall? I assume Winter would not be the best time.<br /><br />let me know what you think and I will work on finding a day on the calendar open.<br /><br />Thanks Again!<br /><br />jb<br /><br />John-Bryan Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150016187849264547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-47579494171440131802015-09-18T09:50:17.883-04:002015-09-18T09:50:17.883-04:00How much fun is this???

I made a raspberry cake which then appeared in FATAL RESERVATIONS. In fact I went to a booksigning last weekend where the lovely hostess made the cake for all of us. Isn't that the best?<br /><br />We're going to have to work on Key Lime pie day when you're in Key West this winter. We need to get David Sloan on board too--he's written a cookbook on KLP and he makes those giant pies for publicity.
