EAT
This week we share a local spot in heart of downtown Fort Myers called The Standard. We ate brunch there and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was a flurry of activity when we arrived with karaoke in full swing. They do take reservations, which we would strongly advise, but there happened to be an opening right away, so we took it! The bar was stocked with local and well-known brews plus bottomless mimosas and bloody marys for $20 to go with the meal. We started with the jalapeño and sausage corn muffins. They were tender and flaky with a breakfast sausage flavor and just a hint of spice. Dana had “The Hangover” breakfast sandwich and it was full of breakfast meats, eggs, and cheese on a soft brioche bun. Aimee had the “Short Rib Hash,” which was one of several hash dishes that looked mouth-watering as they came out of the kitchen. The Standard does not skimp on the tender meat in the hash, the potatoes were seasoned perfectly and the over-easy eggs had a perfect runny yolk a-top this perfect-sized skillet.
If you come to the Fort Myers area, check out The Standard for the entertainment and the tasty dishes. We can’t wait to go back and try their regular menu, too!
DRINK
This week, we got the chance to attend a Coffee Connoisseur Tasting and Certification at the Luminary Hotel in Fort Myers. Ulli Winckler is the master roaster for Dean St. Coffee Roastery at the Luminary Hotel and preseident of Rebel Coffee in Cape Coral. We got a special behind the scenes look at what it takes to roast coffee and tasted 12 different varieties of coffee. We break down what we learned this week.
