If you pass through the Gainesville/Ocala area, plan a detour through Williston and over to Cross Creek where the Yearling restaurant is located. They specialize in traditional Florida Cracker cuisine, which is based on the local fish and game (catfish, frog, rabbit, alligator, snake, venison, cooter (look it up), etc.). The drive will take you through some very lovely country.

The appropriate companion reading material would be the writings of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and John Audubon.
