May took us from Fort Myers, through Bonita Springs and all the way to Naples for several exciting food adventures. Here’s a recap.
Lapa’s Costa Rican Bistro, Bonita Springs
Lapa’s Costa Rican Bistro in Bonita Springs marked my first foray with Costa Rican food.
We started off sampling the empanadas ($2.95 each) and patacones (aka tostones, $5.95). For the empanadas, you can choose from shredded chicken, ground beef, potato or cheese. We picked the potato. Depending on the culture and region, empanadas can be made of corn meal or flour. These were flour, and the filling was a very yellow potato. And it was delicious.

McDonald’s is boosting the hourly wages for some of its workers, joining a number of fast-food chains nationwide lifting pay as jobs go unfilled. But employees in Detroit and other cities across the nation say they’re still moving forward with a planned strike on Wednesday, May 19, pointing out that the pay raises will only impact a small portion of McDonald’s-owned restaurants.
The McDonald’s wage announcement this week follows a similar one by Chipotle, and comes just days before the fast-food giant’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday. A workers’ strike is scheduled for the next day.
