Hey everyone, welcome!

FTLeats was created for anyone who loves food and loves Fort Lauderdale. Whether you're a lifelong local, a recent transplant, or just visiting and looking for a great meal, this is your spot.

This community is about sharing the real Fort Lauderdale food experience. The hidden gems your out-of-town friends would never find on their own. The new openings worth getting excited about. The happy hour deals that make a Tuesday feel like a Friday. The honest reviews that help everyone eat better.

A few things that make this community different:

We keep it positive and respectful. Honest criticism of food and restaurants is absolutely welcome, but this is not the place for personal attacks or pile-ons.

We keep it focused. Food, restaurants, and dining in and around Fort Lauderdale. That's it.

We keep politics out. Completely.

To get things started, drop a comment below with your single favorite restaurant in Fort Lauderdale right now. No explanations needed, just the name. Let's build a list.

Looking forward to eating well with all of you.
