For 80 years, no visit to Miami Beach has been complete without a visit to Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant. First opened in 1913 as a small lunch counter in what was then just a quiet, backwater town, Joe's was the first to discover & serve up Miami's native delicacy, the stone crab. The boom in popularity of that simple dish--served chilled with Joe's special mustard sauce--coincided with the boom of Miami Beach itself, as movie crews, big entertainers, & wealthy vacationers flocked to town--and to Joe's. More than a cookbook, Eat at Joe's captures the love of food, family, & friends that has kept the customers coming for all these years. It's packed with little-known history, scintillating anecdotes, & more than 100 vintage & new photos. It's also loaded with 50 recipes that have kept the name Joe's on every food lover's lips--including crispy Shoestring Potatoes, tasty Cottage Sweets, the never-before-revealed secrets of Joe's Key Lime Pie, & of course, Joe's savory Mustard Sauce. "A great restaurant--maybe the greatest restaurant--now finally has a great cookbook to match its menu. This should be in every kitchen."--Larry King.Richard Sax is the author of 'Eat at Joe's: The Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant Cookbook', published 2000 under ISBN 9781579595111 and ISBN 1579595111.
