Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, Sanibel Island! 

Sanibel author Randy Wayne White said. We had no clue what awaited when we started Doc Ford’s.” White, a bestselling author and former News-Press columnist, named the restaurants for one of his most famous characters, Marion “Doc” Ford, a former National Security Agency agent who retired to become a marine biologist on Sanibel but never could leave his dangerous past behind. White’s “Doc Ford” book series has encompassed 20 novels from 1990 to 2020.
