The new sandwich Publix is launching looks delicious . As soon as its released, I will be the first one in line. If you haven’t heard yet, Publix is launching a Tennessee inspired makeover for their popular chicken tender sandwich.

The popular grocery store chain unveiled their “New Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich” which will be available from April until June. Publix takes its already popular tenders and tops it with sauce loaded with garlic, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar. They then take the tenders and place it between two slices of King’s Hawaiian bread and add pickles.

I literally have tried almost every food item at the Publix deli but my favorite Is the chicken tender sub, so I know I will love this sandwich. How do I get my chicken tender sub? With Just Chicken, Jalapeños and provolone cheese! Whats your favorite food item at Publix? Is there something that I should be trying?

Here's the bonus. It's on sale!


Three Southwest Florida Spots Made Yelp’s New List of Top 100 Florida Restaurants

Yelp is out with a new list. They rated the Top 100 Florida Restaurants of 2023 and Southwest Florida has 3 on the list.  All in all, Fort Myers, Naples, and Fort Myers Beach made the list. It's actually pretty incredible since the Fort Myers beach restaurant that made the list just recently reopened since Hurricane Ian. It's a nice nod to them on the amazing progress they made in getting things up and running again.

The Yelp list  " is based on our community’s ratings and reviews."  So after someone eats at one of these establishments, they feel strongly enough about the experience to go online and express that. We'll get to the Top 10 of Florida in a bit, let's see where our local places stack up against the rest of the state in Yelp's list of Top 100 Florida Restaurants.

At number 57 is Uncle Rico's Pizza in Fort Myers. You can find them at 2960 Cleveland Avenue, just south of Lee Memorial. Yelp reviewers cannot stop raving about this place. More than one person referred to their pie as "perfect". That's what I want in a pizza place. Pepperoni knots, house special pizzas, and Jamaican Beef Patties are go-tos. According to their Insta, they reopen on Friday. Expect a crowd.

84. Organically Twisted, Naples

At Livingston and Pine Ridge in Naples, this is the spot for Vegan food.

100. Dixie Fish Co, Fort Myers Beach

Located on Fisherman's Wharf on Fort Myers Beach the DFC took heavy damage from Hurricane Ian and just reopened a month ago. From having a boat washed into your door to packed crowds just 5 months later.  Good to have you back, this place is amazing.
