Casa Del Mar's Burger Champ
Originally created to celebrate America's working class, it has evolved into the culmination of all things Summer. Not the least of which is the Summer barbecue. That time honored tradition of grilling meat, fish and vegetables over an open fire (a huge "thank you" to Prometheus). And what better symbolizes, nay epitomizes, that tradition than the All-American Hamburger; the perfect combination of grilled meat, bread and cheese.
In honor of Labor Day and the Hamburger, Casa Del Mar hosted its 1st annual Casa Del Mar Burger Cook-Off this past Sunday, September 5th. The challengers were a valiant group of cooks undeterred by the inaugural challenge and represented the vast demographics that are Casa Del Mar owners and guests.

Each grill-master possessed the grit and fortitude saved only for professional linebackers on football afternoons as they perfectly grilled their creations. Running the gamut from traditional to unique toppings and ingredients included bacon, cole slaw, blue cheese, bacon, tortilla strips, bacon and (this author's favorite) a fried egg.

With a keen eye on creativity, presentation, "burger-ness" and taste, our panel of esteemed judges valiantly scored each burger presented.

Let me sleep on it...
Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day to do all that you have planned; you are excited by your vacation surroundings, you play a little too hard, you wake at sunrise to make sure you get that perfect lounge chair on the pool deck; whatever the reason, quality sleep is often tough to come by on vacation.
We figure the least we can do is make your time in the bedroom, however brief, a bit more comfortable. Gone are the pastels and bright colors that have come to define the Miami Vice and Golden Girls era of Florida; no longer will your sleep be interrupted by a visit from the Ghost of White Furniture Past.
Casa Del Mar has come full circle, we are embracing our Spanish roots and at the same time embracing a more easy on the eyes color scheme; welcome to the Casa Del Mar as it always should have been.

Peanuts and Cracker Jack
Summer begins June 21st. To some, summer's start is Memorial Day weekend. Here in the Daytona Beach area, one can argue summer began Friday, April 9th. That's when the hometown Daytona Cubs (Chicago's eponymous high-A minor league affiliate) took the field for the first time to square off against the feared Brevard County Manatees (you've got to love Minor League Baseball). Unfortunately, the hometown nine took a tough loss, but Daytona Beach-area residents and guests (including those of Casa Del Mar) went home winners as baseball is back in northeast Volusia County.
