Episode description

Text me your favorite South Florida memory.

Step into the glamorous world of Hemingway's, nestled in a historic building in downtown Hollywood, Florida. A haven for the famous and infamous alike, Hemingway's was more than just a restaurant; it was a legendary institution where culinary excellence met celebrity intrigue.

Diners were treated not only to unmatched food and service but also to the thrill of possibly rubbing elbows with Hollywood stars and icons. And let's not forget the unforgettable aroma of that garlic pumpernickel bread that tantalized the senses with every visit.

But Hemingway's held secrets beyond its delectable menu and star-studded clientele. Whispers circulated about a hidden bordello on the second floor, whispers of clandestine casino games, and tales of the bar salvaged from Yankee Stadium. And then there was the notorious connection to none other than Al Capone himself, adding an extra layer of mystique to this already enigmatic establishment.

Join us for a TALK down Memory Lane as we revisit the golden era of Hollywood dining, where Hemingway's reigned supreme and left an indelible mark on the hearts and palates of all who crossed its threshold.
