Salute / Key West 10

EATING DOWN HIGHWAY ONE


With Gene Morgan and his favorite traveling companion Nancy

It was a rainy morning in Key West so we headed to one of our favorite spots, the White Street Pier. It is on the Atlantic side of the island next to Higgs Beach. It was too damp to swim. (how can it be too damp to swim?) This lady decided her dog wasn’t soggy enough yet, (and dog smelly) so she took him for a dip.



As we wandered along the shore we noticed a little restaurant we hadn’t been aware of before right on the beach called Salute CafĂ©. We were hungry, so we got out of the rain to check it out.

Salute is not a big place, but it has nice atmosphere and it’s outside dining area has a decent view of the beach. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, but the rice was excellent. It had a flavorful sauce that wasn’t overloaded with odd herbs and spices that so many restaurants use.



Sorry for the poor overexposed picture. It was a dreary day and my flash went off without me noticing it. No amount of photoshop magic could fix the problem.
