SARASOTA, FL Oxtail, collard greens, mac and cheese.

Reid was familiar with charismatic chef and restaurateur Gordon Gregory from his time at the popular Nancy s Bar-B-Q restaurant.
It was Gregory s charisma and personality coupled with the story of how the pandemic shut down the golf course and eventually caused the restaurant to lose its brick-and-mortar space that led to Reid filming a short documentary about G s Southern Kitchen. The film, also called G s Southern Kitchen, is part of this year s Sarasota Film Festival.
There s a new trend afoot: newly built, single-family houses that are for rent only.
In the latest twist on the housing market, builders and analysts say the trend, prevalent in the western United States, is moving east, including into Florida.
NexMetro Communities, a national home builder based in Arizona, is building a rental residential community in Tampa, and the company is eying Palm Beach County, too. NextMetro builds detached one- and two-bedroom single-family houses, and one-bedroom villas.
Meanwhile, plans are afoot to sell the closed Mizner Trail golf course in Boca Raton to an unnamed developer who plans single-family rental houses, according to housing analyst Brad Hunter. The golf course, now owned by Boca Raton-based Compson Associates, once was slated for 252 townhomes and apartments, but the project never was built.
