Florida Has One Of The Best Restaurants For Pancakes In The U.S.

Author Jeff Gorra

In anticipation of National Pancake Day on September 26, we will spotlight one of the most popular breakfast dishes in the country. Travel and Leisure recently named the 25 best restaurants for pancakes in America, and a Florida establishment was among them.

“Really, there are no rules when it comes to flapjacks — Pancake Day can happen any time you’re craving a short stack topped with butter and maple syrup,” Travel and Leisure explains. In fact, pancakes are not just for breakfast anymore. All types of restaurants or diners serve them for any meal. Furthermore, if you really want to see your kids’ faces light up with excitement, tell them you are making breakfast for dinner.

Travel and Leisure did not consider fast food chains. While McDonald’s hotcakes are also delicious, and IHOP still serves perhaps the most distinctive-tasting plate pancakes in the world, the list focuses on more local establishments.

In Florida, the restaurant recognized for having the best pancakes is a family-friendly establishment owned by a husband and wife. They named the place after their daughter.

MAX’s Table

Located at 115 S Tamiami Trail in Osprey, MAX’s Table was founded in 2016. They are open daily from 7 am – 2:30 pm.

There are three constant pancake options at MAX’s Table: Lemon Ricotta, Nutella, or Buttermilk, which you can top with fruit, nuts, or raising. Then, the Kitchen Combo allows you to try a little of everything. That’s two pancakes with eggs, bacon, ham, or sausage. Regardless of your choice, Travel and Leisure describes them as a “generous helping of sweet pancakes.”

The restaurant features a newly renovated dining area. Furthermore, they have an outdoor patio where they welcome dogs as well. This Florida restaurant that was recognized for serving some of the best pancakes in the country allows you to order them at any time. Breakfast is served all day.

Florida Has One of Most Beautiful Spots for Fall Colors in America

The fall season is a glorious time in America. From coast to coast, many different areas off beautiful fall colors in radiant reds, oranges and yellows. So, what are the most beautiful spots for fall colors in America?

Peak fall foliage season is different based on where you are located. Some areas of the U.S. see fall colors as early as September, while others peak later on, such as in October or even November. Generally speaking, areas with longer winters will have earlies fall colors, and areas with longer summers will have later fall colors. Most of America hits peak fall foliage season in the month of October. Of course, areas bordering Canada will be the first to see those colors.

If you’re wondering the science behind the fall colors, the color that the leaves become depends on a few factors. Those include the chlorophyll and weather conditions during the summer or fall. Chlorophyll is a pigment that aids in giving leaves their color. In general, big changes from the norm in precipitation, whether it’s getting way too much rain or not enough, can really impact the fall foliage season.

Also, I remember last year, the radiant colors in my area fell off the trees early. The reason was that we had a wind storm come through, so the leaves fell prematurely. I was pretty upset about it, because not only do I like to see beautiful fall colors, I also like to paint fall colors. So, my muse was gone.

That said, if you are in the mood to view fall colors this year, here are some great places to do it. Read on for 10 Beautiful spots in America for fall colors. What are your favorite areas to see fall foliage? Reach out to me on social media here and let me know.
