Candacy Taylor has a tremendous site about the American coffee shop waitress, women who are career waitresses. Laura points to the Eating Tampa burger post and wins a date with Brian Ries. And, she’s been in a blogging zone lately, so check out the whole page. *** Jeff Houck points to a sweet new cupcake location. *** Seminole Heights Eats! has been rechristened The Urban Eater. Michelle is keeping busy writing for this blog, The Urban [...] The burger search started yesterday with a visit to Bungalow Bistro. The Bistro was packed on Gasparilla Saturday, the ladies of the Red Hat Society arrayed around several table placed together in the center of the restaurant. Rather than take up limited table space for a solo lunch I ordered a burger to [...] Ok. Rules for the burger contest. Burgers will be rated on their messiness factor, my favorite burgers are uncontrollably drippy, oozy, and messy. They will be judged on their size. I’m not saying that monster burgers are best, only that it’s something one should note in a review. Bread, condiments, toppings and sides will also [...] With any luck I will not be eating one of these in my search for the best Tampa burgers. “The canned cheeseburger is sold under one of Katadyn’s best known brands, Trekking-Mahlzeiten, a subsidiary company that develops specialist ready-meals for the outdoor, expedition and extreme athlete markets.” While reading another blog I was pointed to Slice – America’s Favorite Pizza Weblog, and realized it was a sister blog to A Hamburger Today. They’re both a part of Serious Eats which seems to encompass eight or nine sibling sites. I think the similar design they share is relatively new. Regardless, it’s a sweet [...] I am Southern girl, we all know this; however, I could not stand Grits as a child. Due to my hatred for Grits, I ignored the various uses Grits may provide. WWWHHHAAATTT????!!!!! A Southern girl who does not like Grits? I know, it’s strange. That is, until I was in New Orleans a few years [...] I’m not a coupon clipper, but for those of you who are here’s a handy tip from The Consumerist (via Boing Boing). And with food prices on the rise, perhaps it’s time to start considering clipping coupons. He gave me a tip: he said to take the coupon section out of the Sunday paper and put [...] Okay. I’m hopping on the burger bandwagon. I need your suggestions for burgers. I’m starting my search for the best (non-chain) burger in Tampa (and surrounding areas). Where should I try? ps – I have a new Eating Tampa email address, it’s eatingtampa A T gmail.com I have for several weeks now been planning life after comps. The Eating Tampa part of that life was to search out the best burger in Tampa. Today I see that the diabolical Brian Ries and his Creative Loafing cohort have anticipated my efforts. WTF? Now I don’t know what to do. Do I forge ahead just [...] Eater Michelle (aka The Urban Eater) has a new gig at Sticks of Fire reviewing food and providing recipes. Her first post is a recipe for Shrimp and Mascarpone Stuffed, Pancetta Wrapped, Jalapenos. Congratulations, Michelle! In addition to her own blog, Seminole Heights Eats!, Michelle will also review food for the forthcoming New Heights Magazine, [...] Michelle at Seminole Heights Eats! has some very important news about Ybor Pizza and Subs. Put your money where you mouth is Seminole Heights and support local businesses. Good news! This time the underbelly gang eats their way down Armenia Ave. The Stew’s Jeff Houck has started his own YouTube channel, StewVision, where you can catch the intro to the Underbelly Armenia Ave. tour. While you’re there check out clips from the previous underbelly tour. Check here for Jeff Houck’s take on the tour, [...] The run-off for best Cuban restaurant is simply too close to call. Arco Iris and Other are tied. The next step is a taste test. I will visit the recommended Cuban restaurants over the next few months and make an editor’s decision. Naviera Mills wins best (non-chain) coffee in Tampa. And, Bagels Plus wins best bagels in [...] Pure Veg Mirch Masala (previously reviewed here) is temporarily closed while it undergoes renovations. El Jalapeno (which was reviewed previously here) is closed and has many For Sale signs taped to its windows. (This post was originally written by JackieB for Eating Tampa.) (Update – Malena’s is no more.) Though I tend to be very resistant to change I have a happy update on one of my favorite restaurants. Previously featured on Adventures in Food, Malena’s Mexican Restaurant has moved to a permanent location! While I miss the ambience of [...] I was just telling someone today that I needed to create this site, and lo and behold, there it is! We need a strong showing for Tampa, so once I make my trek to one of the three New Tampa sushi places tomorrow evening, I’m going to be the first to ratemysushi. Yoko’s and Samurai [...] Tampa I Am starts the new year with a list of his favorite Tampa dining. *** Zingo helps you get home if you’ve been drinking. They show up on a foldable scooter, drive you home in your car with their scooter in the trunk, then take-off on their scooter. Great idea, Zingo. Now how about getting rid [...] Debate over the origins of the Mint Julep came up at happy hour the other night, and I thought I’d look it up and post my findings here. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the word julep back to circa 1400 as a “sirup maad oonly of water & of sugre.” For the next several centuries julep [...] Eating Tampa’s first post went up January 5, 2007. Since then we’ve written about scores of restaurants and held out first annual readers poll to discover the best eating in the Tampa area. According to our handy eXTReMeTracker, we average forty-two visitors a day. Almost all come from Google searches of people looking for some [...] Dave and I recently discovered a restaurant that will definitely become part of our regular rotation. Ugly (and even kind of skanky-looking) from the outside, Saigon Bay Vietnamese Restaurant serves a meal that I cannot live without: Tofu bun. In graduate school, one of my favorite places to eat was Fortune Pho, a [...] Today when Dave called to tell me that he was ready to eat lunch, he also gave me some good news – the Evo’s that we’ve been awaiting for about two years has finally opened! It’s in the University Mall shopping complex, somewhere between the Marble Slab Creamery and the Sweetbay (can’t recall the [...] (This post was originally written by Michelle B. for Eating Tampa.) Last night, while watching the boob tube, I saw a new commercial for Wendy’s. They have launched a new 99 Cent double meat patty cheeseburger. They are calling it the Stack Attack. This got me thinking. Has Wendy’s succumbed to the More Is Better mentality [...] |
