Not necessarily regional food but the area we wintered in in Florida
(Jupiter) was populated with many very good restaurants. Several
were owned and/or operated by people who previously had high end and
well known restaurants in New York City and other areas of the
country. When they retired to Florida they opened smaller versions
of their "up north" places and some were very, very good.

I ran into that, by accident, in Clearwater Beach. There is an Italian
restaurant right there where you come off the bridge on the south end
in a strip mall. They are transplanted New Yorkers and they brought
their recipe book ;-)
