"It definitely impacted our business," DeAngelis said. "We're definitely happy with the response."  The event was canceled last year because of the onset of COVID-19, which brought restrictions on crowd sizes and indoor dining. Lawlor said although he knew the crowds and impact may not be as large this year as in the past, he thought it was important to give restaurant owners and enthusiasts a chance to make it worth it.  "Maybe this is a chance to reinvigorate the kind of the local food scene that has been struggling terribly, like everywhere and everyone else has this past year," Lawlor s...

The Back Nine comes at you after a trip to St. Augustine to see my dad and get a surprise gift from my brother. More on that later. 10. We usually lean to the Gators to lead off this column, but it is impossible for anyone not to be talking about what Sunday was and that the Super Bowl two hours from Gainesville will include the home team for the first time ever.

The Front Nine is a new feature here on WRUF.com (veterans will remember that when the Back Nine started years ago, it was called the Front Nine, and now you are getting confused). So here we go with a look ahead to the weekend, but also a look back at a somewhat completed football season. 1.If there is one thing that I would like to see from Florida’s football team in the fall and going forward, it would be that the Gators understood the accountability of Alabama. Nick Saban runs a tight ship that is to be admired not only for the way his players play but the way they act on the field and ...
