I hope your 2008 is better than your 2007. Here’s the last spin around the internet before the end of the year. The Tampa Tribune reveals the mystery behind the new ownership of El Taconazo – The Taco Bus. Cousin Is New Driver of the Taco Bus. *** Rumors are that El Jalapeno is closed. I meant to [...] We made it to Cilantro Indian Cuisine on 56th street tonight. For a first visit it was everything I could have wanted in a new Indian restaurant. We started with a samosa, which was wonderful, made even tastier with the spicy curry. JB had the Vegetable Malai Kofta, and I had the Tandoori Mixed Grill. [...] (This post was originally written by Michelle B. for Eating Tampa.) Every year, my in-laws pack up their gigantic RV and head down to Florida for the Holidays. I feel like I won the in-law lottery when it comes to my hubby’s folks. I genuinely enjoy their company.

Jones at My Florida History points to the 1995 Columbia Restaurant Spanish Cookbook about “Florida’s oldest restaurant” by Adela Hernandez Gonzmart and Ferdie Pacheco. The Columbia is in Ybor City.

A couple [...] The Wall Street Journal ran an article about umami last Saturday. “Americans are taught from an early age that there are four basic tastes — sweet, salty, sour and bitter.

To an increasing number of chefs and food-industry insiders, the answer is “umami,” dubbed “the fifth taste.” First identified [...] Tampa I Am passes along some rumors about a new club in Ybor, and eats at Tampa Bay Brewing Company. ***Brian Ries points to this morbid page of Texas death row prisoner last meals. The page was pulled years ago, but thanks to the wonders of the internet it remains archived. ***Tommy in Old Seminole Heights [...] (Update – the Tranquilo Cafe is no more.) DB Cooper says the Tranquilo Coffee House at 10024 N. 30th Street “in Pointsettia Plaza” has filk-singing(!) “pretty much every Wednesday from about 6:30 to about 10:30 p.m.” If you don’t know about filk music, start with this Wikipedia entry. Apparently they also occasionally have bluegrass shows. My bottle of Lucid absinthe arrived via UPS the day before Thanksgiving. Early in November the topic of absinthe came up while some friends and I sat around drinking beers. It took us only a few minutes to exhaust our knowledge of this elixir of nineteenth-century bohemian life. We weren’t even clear if it was illegal [...] (This post was originally written by Michelle B. for Eating Tampa.) (Cross-posted at Seminole Heights Eats!)
