First weekend of college football is here, and the smokers are already full.

Wings dusted in Blazin’ Bird, pork loin rubbed down with The Mash — this is how we’re kicking off the season.

Ribeyes gettin’ right w/ The Rocks 🔥

When the ask is “feed a big group and make it memorable,” this is how we answer — boneless ribeyes, reverse seared, seasoned with The Rocks until the crust is exactly where we want it. Doesn’t matter if it’s twenty people or two hundred, same seasoning, same process, same result.

Grab The Rocks in store, online or at any Academy Sports + Outdoors!

One of my favorite parts of Visit Central Florida Burger Week is watching restaurants step outside their comfort zone.

Brack Shack Bar and Grill is already known across Polk County for their barbecue egg rolls, but this year they took a different path with a Teriyaki Burger.

On paper, it sounds like a lot.

Sweet teriyaki sauce, pepper jack, slaw, a double patty, sesame bun…

The real question wasn’t whether it had good ingredients.

It was whether they could balance them.

They absolutely did.

The crisp slaw cuts through the richness, the teriyaki never overpowers the beef, and everything works together exactly the way you’d hope.

📍 Brack Shack

This one is worth the drive.

Some restaurants become part of a city’s identity.

If you grew up in Lakeland, chances are you’ve got an S&L Restaurant story.

That’s what makes this stop so special.

The Dirty Burger isn’t trying to reinvent the burger—it just does everything right. Double smash patties, provolone, onion straws, and house-made hot honey all come together exactly the way you’d hope.

The best part?

Walking through the door feels like coming home.

If you’ve never been, Visit Central Florida Burger Week is a great excuse. If you have…you already know.

Some places don’t need to reinvent themselves—they just need to keep doing what they’ve always done well.

For 75 years, Andy's Igloo Restaurant has been serving families in Winter Haven, and walking through the front door feels like stepping back into some of your favorite memories.

Their Visit Central Florida Burger Week special isn’t trying to be flashy. It’s a classic burger with fries and slaw for just $9.95, cooked on a griddle that’s been turning out burgers for generations.

Sometimes simple really is better.

And one more thing…

Don’t leave without getting a shake.
