Le Tub

I'm not much of a beach person at all.  I burn easily so I stay out of the sun and away from the ocean.  However, a quick trip to Florida is rejuvenating when it involves sitting in an air conditioned building with a view of the ocean.

During a recent trip I stopped at Le Tub, a restaurant on the intercoastal waterway just outside of Miami.  Their burger was featured on Oprah, during one of her roadtrips around the country with Gail, and it was also voted by GQ as the best burger in the country.  The food was pretty good, but the atmosphere was absolutely charming.  The bar sits facing the water, and the entire restaurant was constructed from flotsam and jetsam floating in the water near the owner's jogging route.
