Encore: 'FK Your Diet' for the Kids

RACHEL IACOVONE / WGCU
The interior of FK Your Diet

May is National Foster Care Month, so we're listening back to a conversation we had earlier this year with the owners of a restaurant along U.S. 41 in South Fort Myers that’s hard to miss. It’s painted bright green and called FK Your Diet. The "FK" stands for "foster kids," and it’s run by a Doug Miller, who was raised in foster homes, and his wife, Amy Eldridge. They serve up dishes, mostly comfort foods, Miller learned to cook while staying in more than a dozen homes and in portion sizes that anyone who’s experienced food scarcity would appreciate.
