Live in Florida long enough and you’re been to Key West a couple of times, maybe for the Ernest Hemingway look-a-like contest at Sloppy Joes. This year, Tampa boasts a winner!
The title goes to Chris Dutton of Tampa, and what makes his win historic is it’s the first time in 45 years that a “young Hemingway” (that means no white beard or head of white hair) has won.
Dutton has been a fan of Hemingway’s work ever since he read “The Old Man and the Sea”. He even proposed to his wife Mallory, and Mallory Square. I think that make Chris What’s Good in Tampa Bay!
