The story behind Key West’s first Bubba Look-Alike Showdown begins decades before the birth of the Hogfish Bar & Grill—with a small gift shop at the Historic Seaport, a side landscaping business and a chance introduction that brought Bobby Mongelli into Jimmy Buffett’s world.

Fausto’s enters its second century under the leadership of Jimmy and Alton Weekley, still a grocery store, a social center and a place where unexpected encounters happen in the aisles and parking lot. For Buffett fans, it remains something increasingly rare: a real and accessible piece of the Key West he knew.
