Hi, folks. I am planning to drive down from the Orlando area to visit my family in Kendall (South Miami), and I always like stopping at Italian delis and markets and bougie grocery stores in Broward and Palm Beach Counties to stock up on interesting mustards and tinned seafood I can't find back home, as well as to treat myself to good Italian subs.

I've been to Carmine's Gourmet Market in Palm Beach Gardens and a couple of different Doris Italian Market locations before, but for my next trip, I'm planning to hit The Boys Farmers Market and Joseph's Classic Market on my way down, since they seem to be close to each other in Delray. Are those good choices for browsing, and is Joseph's a good choice for an Italian sandwich or two? Their Instagram shows them making a nice-looking one on focaccia bread.

My other idea was after Joseph's, to drive further west to hit up Generoso's Italian Sandwiches in Parkland, since I've heard good things about that place too, but it also takes me out of my way. I was wondering if it would be worth the extra schlep even after visiting Joseph's.

Thanks in advance!

Like many of you, Tom Waits is my favorite singer-songwriter and my musical hero. I got into him about 25 years ago, and I was lucky enough to see him live on the Orphans tour in 2006, 20 years ago. I own all his albums and celebrate his entire catalog. I even make a point of introducing my students to Tom Waits (even though many don't like it, but at least I try to add some culture to their lives).

My favorite guitarist Waits has ever worked with is Marc Ribot. He's kind of a legend himself, but I know he has experimented with different styles (some of which are very experimental), and his discography is pretty intimidating. Have any Waits fans done a deep dive into Ribot's discography, and are there albums that are reminiscent of his work on Rain Dogs, Frank's Wild Years, Real Gone, etc.?
