The Polls Are Closed

The votes are in, and the polls are closed. I’ve been tallying votes all evening, but it’s time to get some rest. The tallying will continue tomorrow after I finish my work. In the meantime, let me know what you think of the new design. I picked it up at FinalSense. Once upon a time [...]

Organic Community Farm

Brian Ries notes that Sweetwater Organic Community Farm has expanded into Clearwater.

Here’s an article from Feb. 2005 about Sweetwater Organic Farm and Bern’s Steakhouse cooperation.

Learn more about Sweetwater here.

“Sweetwater Organic Community Farm is a non-profit organic farm and educational facility located in Tampa, Florida. Founded in 1995, this example of Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) serves approximately [...]

Who’s Bright Idea Was This?

[WARNING: This post contains a segue heretofore unimagined in Eating Tampa history. The following post may or may not contain food-realted content.]

Many of the Eating Tampa bloggers are at the tailgate party for the University of South Florida football team’s biggest game EVER!

And that’s nice.

But…

Who is the genius who scheduled USF’s home game against [...]

Don’t Forget to Vote

Voting continues in Eating Tampa’s first annual Best of Eating in Tampa poll. While the response hasn’t been overwhelming, neither has it been underwhelming. It has, in fact, been whelming.

I’ll keep collecting votes until Sunday midnight, which is also the end of September. In October I’ll start posting the response.

Vote in the comments here.

And [...]

Eating Tampa’s Best Of…

The recent Creative Loafing Best Of just didn’t have the categories I wanted, so I’ve decided that it’s time for Eating Tampa’s First Annual Best of Eating in Tampa. Below are the categories, so far. Please vote in the comments, and add categories as you see fit. There’s no pressure to vote in every category. [...]

Everything’s a Teapot

I’ve been out of Tampa for the last week, so there haven’t been any dining adventures.

My airplane book was The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and I’ll have a report on that soon. So far, it’s pretty great.

Note that the review below of Big John’s BBQ is by TJP rather than yours truly. Eating Tampa is meant [...]

The Tampa Carnivore’s Dilemma

Having grown up in the Southeast, bz and I are predisposed to pork BBQ. I had never considered Florida as a bastion of good BBQ, and the relative scarcity of BBQ joints in Tampa had not convinced me otherwise. However, this weekend we finally tried Big John’s Alabama BBQ, on 40th just north [...]

Daily Dish Blog

Eating Tampa L.A.-style. The Daily Dish is the LA Times food writer’s blog about eating their way through Los Angeles.

Remembrance of Tacos Past

Over at Salon, Mark Dery meditates on the meaning of Taco Bell.

The Futures of Food

Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, has an article in the NYT Magazine meditating on “The Futures of Food.”

“To thumb through the pages of Food Technology, the trade magazine for food scientists, is to realize that the dream of liberating food from the farm wasn’t killed off by the 60’s after all. The food-in-a-pill [...]

Qdoba Mexican Grill

(Update – JB really likes it and drags me there occasionally for lunch.)

If you like Chipotle-style burrito chains, then Qdoba is the place for you. If not, then not.

The one I tried is at 5001A E. Fowler Avenue, near the MOSI. I didn’t check their hours while I was there, but the only thing that [...]

Daily Eats

I may have to move to SoHo.

This morning we ventured down south and ate breakfast at Daily Eats. Daily Eats definitely has that SoHo hipster atmosphere, and seems kind of fancy for a diner, but the breakfast was great and I’ll probably be eating the leftovers for lunch.

I went simple this morning with the [...]

Adventures in Food

Eating Tampa would like to welcome Jessica’s Adventures in Food to the roster of Tampa Bay-area food bloggers!

Jessica lives (I believe) in New Port Richey, but promises to sample the fare at “family owned eating establishments” in the “in the four county area.”

From Jessica’s intro:
“Sometimes it seems like authenticity and individuality have been [...]

Roadfood

I have some friends who are always piling the kids and dog into the car and taking off on a road trip. They are devoted readers of Jane & Michael Stern’s Roadfood, even writing to the authors occasionally with recommendations. I just learned today that the Stern’s also keep a website devoted to Roadfood. If [...]
