About Tallahassee Table

Breaking bread together is one of our most social human activities, and I’m convinced that food is the key to knowing a place and its people.

Here in Tallahassee and the surrounding area, we may not have, in sheer numbers, the dining choices some other locales have, but there’s a very vibrant — and growing — food culture here.

I hope you’ll help me, and you, grow with it. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

The dish shakshuka is one of several fun dishes yo The dish shakshuka is one of several fun dishes you'll find at brunch on Saturdays and Sundays at Liberty Bar & Restaurant. Wake up to the wonderful spicy aroma of the African-influenced tomato sauce, with two poached eggs, onions and peppers, topped with feta cheese and served with several slices of sourdough made next door at The Hawthorn Bistro & Bakery. Other brunch dishes at Liberty include eggs Benedict, omelets, chicken and waffles, a Scotch egg, Southwest tofu scramble and Kentucky Hot Brown -- another interesting choice with poached eggs. Enjoy! 🥣
I had a chance to visit Fort Lauderdale recently a I had a chance to visit Fort Lauderdale recently and my daughter, son-in-law and grandpup took me to Char-Hut, one of our favorite spots when the kids were growing up. We devoured their juicy, cooked-to-order burgers and "frings" while sitting in the patio with the pup. Lots of memories here. If you're visiting Fort Lauderdale, there are four Char-Huts. They're a local go-to destination! 🍔 🍟 🧅
The winter storm has left many of our farmers in r The winter storm has left many of our farmers in rough shape, with a good number facing devastating losses. Many are saying that recovery will take months. If you haven’t purchased farm-fresh produce or meats, now’s a good time. There are several farmers' markets each week in Tallahassee or you can order from the Red Hills Online Market from 8 a.m. Sundays to 6 a.m. Tuesdays https://www.rhomarket.com/ (with delivery on Thursdays). For a guide to farmers’ markets, check our website at  the link in bio. 🥦 🥕
Enchiladas Caseras is one of our favorite dishes a Enchiladas Caseras is one of our favorite dishes at the authentic Mexican restaurant, Maria Maria. We devoured our enchiladas, one of several items made from family recipes. My husband raves about their pollo en crema, with chicken cooked in a delectable sauce. The restaurant name honors both the mother and grandmother of co-owner Edgar Gamez and his siblings. It's a top pick for Mexican cuisine in Tallahassee. 🫔

The Peruvian restaurant Cafe de Martin has just ad The Peruvian restaurant Cafe de Martin has just added breakfast on the weekend. We dashed over to enjoy a treat of delicious French toast, made with brioche, topped with berries and bacon; add a drizzle of blueberry syrup. Other choices include a classic egg platter, omelets and Peruvian sandwiches. Lima-born chef/co-owner Martin Araujo Bohorquez serves authentic fare from his homeland for lunch and dinner as well. It’s worth the trip! 🇵🇪 🍞
We joined friends for dinner at the recently opene We joined friends for dinner at the recently opened restaurant, The Huntsman, located in the former home of Cypress Restaurant, and we had a great time. We wound up trying  the South Texas Antelope Sirloin (pictured), venison backstrap, charred octopus with red deer chorizo (pictured) and kale jazzed up with wild boar bacon. If you're not interested in a meal on the wild side, other specialties include wagyu short rib, duck breast,  seaside pot pie and mouth-watering seared redfish, which was my choice (pictured). There are options for vegans and vegetarians as well. This is such a varied menu, we've just scratched the surface. For more info, visit the link in bio! 🍽
Black Radish is a bright new spot in Tallahassee w Black Radish is a bright new spot in Tallahassee with a vegetable-driven menu,  from chef/co-owner Matthew Swezey and co-owner Jesse Edmunds (Liberty Bar, Hawthorn Bistro & Bakery…). It focuses on small plates like our delicious corn ribs and a heirloom tomato sandwich on Hawthorn sourdough. Don’t miss the housemade spinach tortellini. There are a couple larger meat dishes for sharing. Black Radish is a very welcome addition! 🌽 🍷

It was fantastic! Thanks so much TLH Beef Society and volunteers and all the breweries, food vendors and talented Ben!

TLH Beer Society @TLHBeerSociety

Free craft beer from 16 different local breweries. Amazing food trucks, a local oyster famer and the delicious TC Bakery. The soon-to-be famous Ben Flournoy of Quincy (he's only 16) on the 🎤 and 🎸.

This was, undoubtedly, one of the most EPIC parties in Tallahassee history. https://twitter.com/wakullawriter/status/1556080059550769152
