Famous restaurant on Federal Hwy in Ft Lauderdale closed several years ago.
Looking for the recipe for their conch chowder and bimini bread.
If you could please.
Hi Loribeth,
I just got this from a former Ernie's employee.

I worked at Ernie’s 78-80. I worked upstairs in the patio. From what I remember
their Bimini bread was real simple. They used Richs’ frozen white bread dough.
They let it thaw until you could roll it out into about a 12 inch circle then
sprinkled it with a liberal amount of white sugar. Then they rolled it like a
jelly roll, tucked the ends under and put it in a loaf pan to proof then bake.
They brushed the top with melted margarine. It was best served warm from the oven.

I hope it helps. I make it when I make conch chowder. It is exactly like Ernies.
I also worked at a place called Tugboat Annie’s and they made it the same way.
