Eating Tampa would like to welcome its newest eater - Michael! Be sure and check out his Black Bean Soup recipe below.
I also finally got JB’s Garbanzo Bean Salad recipe back up. I had to fix some over-sized images on it.

Sweetly Reminiscent of Something Grandma Used to Bake
What’s Cooking Grandma? is collecting recipes from grandmas around the world, complete with podcasts and video sections.
What’s Cooking Grandma!? would also be an excellent title for a horror film.
Watermelon-Feta Salad with Fresh Herbs

New World Brewery
I suspect there are other bars in Tampa, but I haven’t had any desire to look for them since I stumbled into New World Brewery.

Chowhound Tampa
The Chowhound Tampa page is mostly moribund, but if you’re new to Tampa you might spend an idle moment browsing last February’s conversation.

As far as Mexican goes, I eat a Taconazo a lot because it’s close, but my favorite so far has been Maya’s.
Some [...]
