Episode Details

The best comfort food doesn’t just fill you up, it reminds you why a town feels like home. We’re posted up at Mom’s Home Cooking on Fort Myers Beach with owner Heather Reagan, who also created the beloved Heavenly Biscuit, and she tells the real story behind “homemade.” From cinnamon rolls and biscuits to scratch-made lunch specials, Heather explains why quality ingredients are the only way to deliver food that people remember and come back for.

We also talk about the long road after the storms and what rebuilding looks like in practice: operating out of a trailer, dealing with higher insurance and overhead, and hunting for the right space to bring the business back into a building. Heather shares what she misses most about the original setup, including the community traditions that grew over the years, and why she still believes the next chapter can be even better.

If you’re visiting Fort Myers Beach or you live here and want a local restaurant that feels personal, Heather drops must-try menu picks beyond the cinnamon rolls, including biscuit sandwiches, a classic Cuban with house-roasted pork, a cheesesteak that earns serious praise, and smoked-chicken chicken salad. We also cover where to find Mom’s Home Cooking on Estero Boulevard and the current hours.
