Once upon a time on a dock in Naples, there was a little
Pelican. His name was Larry “because that's what his
Mama called him”. Little Larry would sit around all
day waiting for the local fishermen to come in so he could
eat the fish that they would bring him. As time went by
Larry, would do the same routine, float around all day in
the sun and wait for the boats to come in.
He was very happy but he realized he was also very lonely.
He wanted to share his daily fresh catch with everyone.
He thought: "Why not invite some friends over to share
my fish with?" So the flock gathered and they ate the
catch of the day with him. As word spread around more and
more people came over and before you knew it there was no
more room on the dock for everyone. That's when Larry decided
he needed a bigger place to meet. He found a cozy little
spot on Pine Ridge Road. Things went so well there, he had
ice cold beer, drinks, a kitchen to prepare the daily catch
and he added a menu of appetizers sandwiches and daily creations
and decided to name it after himself: Pelican Larry’s.
Again things went so well that Larry had to open up another
restaurant on a Immokalee Road. So now all of Larry's friends
are welcome to come over for daily gathering of great people
great food and great times. And the rest, as they say, is
history.
