My wife, Lisa, and I recently took a trip to south Florida with her brother and sister-in-law. Lisa is the foodie of the family, so we thought we'd share a few spots we like to visit when we travel to that part of the country.The Cheese Course is located in Weston, Florida. It's a great spot for -- cheese -- but they have a great sandwich menu, too. You can also find food that goes great with cheese -- wine, bread, and a variety of special meats. It's cozy, and the staff is friendly.
We like to try to eat at local places whenever we travel. We ask for recommendations when we get there, or we'll do some research before we leave home. But, we admit, we do like to indulge in a "chain" restaurant that's also located in Weston. It's called the Grand Lux Cafe, and it's part of The Cheesecake Factory family. Go here for some really great desserts -- they have fantastic homemade chocolate chip cookies and incredible beignets that come with three different sauces. If you want dessert, though, remember to order it at the beginning of the meal. It'll be ready for you by the time you finish your entrees.
But here's the "big find" of this year's trip. The Blue Moon Fish Company in Ft. Lauderdale is known for its great fare. It's also a bit pricey, especially for dinner. Lisa and I decided to try it for lunch instead, and we got a huge surprise. Their lunch menu had some of the same entrees as dinner, and get this! Everything was BOGO -- buy one, get one FREE. Get a salad, the second one is free. Get an entree, the other entree is free, etc. We got an incredible meal for practically half off. 
On the right is the yellow snapper, one of Blue Moon's signature dishes.We've spent a week in south Florida for the past few years now, and we enjoy getting to eat at some favorite places while trying some new ones, too. If you ever get to visit any of these restaurants, I hope you enjoy them as much as we have.
