Hi Loribeth,
UPDATE: The real recipes: Ernie's Conch Chowder and Ernie's Bimini Bread
I searched for these recipes previously. See: 5-18-2015
There is an article about Ernie's here, with a conch chowder recipe that the author recommends (not Ernie's): Sun-Sentinel
There's a Facebook page for Ernie's, and a post there says: "Ernie's classics will now be served at the Floridian Restaurant at 1410 E Las Olas Blvd, Ft Lauderdale. Come by for your Bimini Bread, conch chowder and BBQ served by your favorite waitresses we also feature a Full Liquor Bar open 24 hrs 365 days a year." See: Facebook - Ernie's
I saw more mentions of The Floridian in relation to Ernie's. Apparently, The Floridian is owned by another member of the same family as Ernie's, and when Ernie's closed, much of Ernie's kitchen staff moved to The Floridian and took Ernie's recipes with them. I don't know if The Floridian is still open, but it was as recently as 1917. I searched, but could not find a recipe for The Floridian's conch chowder or Bimini bread.
There are Bimini bread recipes on these sites:
