Serving flavourful Florida destinations  |
| If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably been devouring every moment of Jimmy Doherty uncovering Florida's absolute best on ITV’s new five-part series - Jimmy’s Taste of Florida. From northwestern Pensacola to Miami in the southeast, and a pitstop at Central Florida’s adventure-packed Westgate River Resort Ranch & Resort – Jimmy's been diving into the Sunshine State's culinary wonders. OurUltimate Testwinners have already conquered some of these spots, so stay tuned to our social feeds for a front-row seat to these phenomenal destinations.
Pensacola - Panama City BeachJimmy started his culinary adventure inPensacola, the City of Five Flags, where a clash of cultures is served up hotter than a Florida summer. From mouthwatering Southern boiled peanuts to wild Bloody Marys crowned with a chicken wing at African chicken joints, Pensacola's food scene is a rollercoaster of flavours. Then Jimmy took it up a notch and hit nearbyPanama City Beach, the ultimate seaside capital of the South for oyster shelling and samplings. And what’s better than topping this off with the sweet seduction of Southern beignets? | |
 |
\t\tBut the Florida Panhandle is a feast for nature lovers, too. With golden beaches on one side and the Apalachicola National Forest on the other, it's a paradise for hikers. If you're craving diverse flavours, pristine beaches and thriving nature, we recommend checking out ourEmerald Coast & Panhandlepage and keeping your eyes peeled for new itineraries in this region of Florida.
New Smyrna Beach - Kennedy Space CenterCalling all surfers and stargazers. If you're all about sandy shores, epic swells, and the vastness of space, buckle up for this Florida adventure. Dive into the surf scene and devour fresh catch of the day in the seaside haven ofNew Smyrna Beach, just like Jimmy did. Need to chill? Grab a freeze-dried ice cream atKennedy Space Center– the one that defies meltdown. Marvel at the Rocket Garden, designed with actual spaceships, and for the space botanists out there, spend a day at Mars Base 1 cultivating crops in simulated Martian soil. | |
 |
\t\tAnd if you time it right and catch a rocket launch, you're in for a treat. Book a seat at the Kennedy Space Center's viewing area to witness the spectacle, or head to Cocoa Beach for a jaw-dropping view as the rocket blasts into the sky. If seafood, surfing, and space adventures are your idea of a good time, then check out our space-themed Florida itinerary -Mission to Florida’s Space Coastfor an out-of-this-world adventure.
St. Pete - Tampa | |

\t\t| Swapping Florida’s Space Coast for the Gulf Coast, Jimmy made a beeline to Florida's crown jewel -St. Petersburg. Voted Number 1 Beach in the USA by Tripadvisor in 2021, St Pete steals the show with its sugar-white sand, sapphire sea, and vibrant local community. And its fresh local produce is the perfect touch to those lingering summer days when you want to eat something light. Another plus for this beach town is its proximity toTampa, Florida’s Gulf Coast hub and a major Cuban hotspot. Follow Jimmy’s trail by exploring the Latin American quarter of Ybor City, home to the Cuban Sandwich and a once-thriving cigar manufacturing area, to explore the vibrant culture and historic architecture of this fascinating neighbourhood. | |
