Naples and Fort Myers Beach Restaurants Featured In Culinary Series
VISIT FLORIDA and Emergent Media announce the next chapter in the “Florida’s Table” journey with the debut of a fifth season of the custom original video series. “Florida’s Table” promotes the state’s dynamic culinary scene by showcasing a diverse handful of restaurants. Each episode features a local chef or restaurateur who is a reflection of the place they live and work. In the most recent episodes, Naples and Fort Myers Beach restaurants were both featured.
This is the fifth season of the Florida’s Tables series featuring a different part of Florida for each season. Season 5 tells the story of Southwest Florida cuisine.
The “Florida’s Table” series is notable for its chef-focused storytelling, and the Southwest edition brings that approach to new heights, featuring: Chef Vincenzo Betulia of Osteria Tulia in Naples, Chef Chas Taitgen of Dixie FIsh Co. in Fort Myers Beach, Chef Marc Alton of Fins in Venice, Chefs George Sayeh and Andrew Duncan at Baba on Central in St. Petersburg, and Chef Jeannie Pierola of Edison Food + Drink Lab in Tampa.
In this clip, the series visited the Dixie Fish Company on Fort Myers Beach.
Here’s a look at Osteria Tulia in Naples.
Of special note, focusing on Fort Myers Beach restaurants such as the Dixie Fish Company highlight the progress Southwest Florida has made since Hurricane Ian. If you remember, DFC had a boat left on it’s doorstep after the water receded. Kudos to Visit Florida and Emergent Media for including them.
