My mother was attacked by a rooster near Alligator Alley. I of course remember that – she was in her 60’s, I was in my 40’s and my daughter Ana was a kid.
We were walking “the loop” – a 30-mile excursion into the Everglades off Hwy 41. At the time this two-lane highway was the only way to drive from Miami to Florida’s west coast.
We walked up to a little farmhouse to say hello, when from nowhere a rooster – claws first – attacked. Mom survived another 20 years.
So, Steve (A&C’s General Manager) and I recently drove down this memory lane. The alligators are fine; they don’t look endangered to me. We had just signed a lease on our newest store (#18) in Miami’s Little Havana.
To celebrate the signing, I ordered alligator tail. It still tastes like chicken.

If you end up there again, you should try what they call an indian burger...a hollowed-out pouch of dough stuffed with ground beef and some light veggies. There used to be (are still?) trailers along that road where they'd cook these and other deliciously FDA dodging things to eat.
