Saying Goodbye / Key West 14

EATING DOWN HIGHWAY ONE


With Gene Morgan and his favorite traveling companion Nancy

On our last sad day in Key West, we just had to lunch at Hog’s Breath Saloon. (Hog’s breath is better than no breath at all...) We probably drink brew here more than we eat. It is another fine live music bar. It is one of those half inside half outside places so common on Duval Street. (Even though it’s main entrance in on Front Street.) It is a lively joint, and it is often hard to find a place to sit.

I know I probably say this too often, but the Hog’s Breath chicken sandwich is the best in the whole world. (I must not get out much) It is always fresh and juicy on a crisp sesame seed roll. Throw in a strong dill pickle and some chips and you got the perfect bar food. I had a big cold bottle of Hog’s Breath beer with mine. We toasted goodbye to Key West and shuffled off with the rest of the gloomy and broke tourist down Duval and across the harbor walk smelling salty seawater and boiling shrimp one last time.

We will leave you with this proud rooster sitting on Hog’s Breath’s roof watching us eat our last meal. I always kid that the chicken is so good at Hog’s Breath because the birds run wild and free all over town and that all you gotta do is grab one and you got a sandwich. This rooster was either happy that he didn’t have to fight all night as his cock fighting ancestors did or sad because we were eating his favorite hen.

Thanks for tuning in for our highway one eating tour and thanks to Carrie for asking us.
