Well, it's that time of year again.... It's Fantasty Fest in Key West!!!
I'll keep you updated with pictures and stories, as we are bound to have some!! Fantasy Fest is kind of like Key West's version of Mardi Gras and Halloween combined. There are theme-parties every night all around town, all culminating in "the Big Parade" Saturday night. This parade has huge floats, amazing costumes, LOTS and LOTS of beads being thrown... it is a true spectacle.
Our nights here at Damn Good Food TO-Go tend to be fairly slow during the week of Fantasy Fest because everyone is out partying and generally being on display. However, each morning, people wake up in a fog, body paint smearing on their pillows, and need to eat!! Lots of Biscuits and Gravy (our secret recipe and a well-regarded hangover cure!!!) and LOTS of Gatorade are sold this week!!!
At night, I always look forward to our customers coming by to show off their various costumes, and they range from the fancy and creative, to the down-right naughty!!! Take a look above and below at the first couple of Fantasy Fest pictures we have.... more to come throughout the week.
