“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” -Dr. Seuss

And just like that @sizzledining 2026 has come to an end… 🧡💙

We went to the Sizzle Dining 2026 Wrap-Up party @tap42bar . Their rooftop was the perfect venue and we enjoyed our drinks and yummy bites like calamari and chicken tenders with some our favorite Sizzle Squad members. 🍺🍷 @apollo_fasho kept the vibe going with great music, as we anxiously awaited to hear the final numbers. 🎧Did @sizzledining reach their goal of 100,000 Sizzle Dining meals sold?

They sure did! @sizzledining 2026 raised a whopping $105,655 for the organization @blessingsswfl 🎒This will help so many children in SWFL!

Shoutout to the amazing Sizzle team, everyone who ate a Sizzle Dining meal, and @stayhumbleco_ for capturing some of these moments!

Stay tuned for my series of reels coming up.. a look back into the Sizzle Squad events I attended this year!

SEA SALT - TWO DAYS AGO, THE LAST DAY OF SIZZLE DINING @sizzledining WE HAD LUNCH AT SEA SALT IN OLD NAPLES. THE NEWLY RENOVATED RESTAURANT’S INTERIOR IS STRIKING WITH A COASTAL, CONTEMPORARY FEEL. THE PIÈCE DE RESISTANCE IS A GIANT MURAL RUNNING ALONG THE MAIN DINING ROOM WALL BY ARTIST YANKEL GINSBERG. THE MURAL DEPICTS VENICE IN ALL ITS SHIMMERING GLORY, NOT SURPRISING GIVEN CHEF/OWNER FABRIZIO AIELLO’s VENETIAN ROOTS.

It was such a lovely day though, most diners cooled by fans awhirring above them dined alfresco. All three appetizers on the Sizzle menu appealed to me. I finally opted for the gem lettuce, radish, and avocado salad with its super tasty ginger-carrot dressing. As you can see, Bob’s Tuna Crudo was also, covet-worthy. And then, and then, I had a yen for a hamburger. Unusual for me, who has burgers infrequently. Could it possibly be as good here as the last one I had a few weeks ago? Yes. Yes. And yes. Sea Salt’s Black Angus Burger is hard to beat with its shack sauce, smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and house fries. I demolished the burger and bun pronto. And the fries? Well, that’s a given. My Irish logic will abandon a bun occasionally when diet conscious, but never the fries. After all, they are potatoes.

While Sandy had an Aperol Spritz, I asked for a Rosé Spritz. (My version of Iced Tea— cold tea is an acquired taste I still haven’t got used to yet.) Coffee afterwards and we were all happily sated. I’m so glad we got to dine somewhere we hadn’t been in ages. That’s what Sizzle does: remind one of all the great dining to be had in SWFL. As most of you know by now all of the 140 participating restaurants this year donate $1 from every meal purchased to Blessings in a Backpack @blessingsswfl who in turn provide school age children with meals on weekends who may go hungry otherwise. Sizzle has grown from one to four weeks over the past ten years. Thanks to all who contribute especially Guy Clarke who’s makes it all happen.

SIZZLE DINING ENDS IN TWO DAYS! HERE’S A QUICK ROUND UP OF SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS WE’VE ENJOYED SO FAR. ONE TO GO —SEA SALT ON THE 30th and THE SUPPER CLUB OMITTED— will get to later and edit these. Traveling, extreme haste.

FIRST UP BALEEN’S — Two course lunch with a Gulf view to die for and the best burger I’ve had in forever: a blend of brisket, short ribs & round chuck with their own special aioli sauce.

BLEU PROVENCE: Provençal cuisine and decor. Never disappoints. Love entire menu including Loup de Mer seen here. (See prior post.)

CE SOIR— New, so like us it’s a good restaurant to try if you haven’t been here. Sophisticated vibe. French Mediterranean. Suitable for date night or group.

CHOPS CITY GRILL. True steakhouse of the elegant variety. Steak and fries here. Bar is a buzzin’ in Season.

THE SUPPER CLUB — No pics here but will review separately. Sizzle is an excellent opportunity to try this top chef level normally multi -course special dining experience. Three courses, with dessert as additional charge. Not to be missed.

SEA SALT — Can’t wait to dine at this newly renovated Naple’s favorite on the 30th. Will review afterwards.

Apologies for this hastily written post, but wanted you to have these recommendations in case making reservations before Sizzle is over end of month. It’s such a good cause, so do go to sizzledining.org for details and to make reservations. Will try and edit this next day or so, and review restaurants in more detail when home. @sizzledining @blessingsinabackpack
