If the weather outside gives no hint of fall, the smells emanating from your kitchen certainly should. What could be a greater indicator of the season than pumpkin? Though this delectable dessert is unquestionably a sinful temptation some guilt can be allayed by thoughts of the vitamin A and fiber that pumpkin provide. Negligible amounts [...]

“Moxie’s was excellent when they first opened downtown – original sandwich ideas, good service and high quality food. They seem to have hit a huge dropoff, though, sometime in the last 4 months. I used to eat there a few times a week, [...]

I need your help Tampa Bay. Where are those scary looking hole-in-the-wall places that have amazing food or maybe they serve what some may consider to be questionable fare? Here’s the catch……in St Pete.
I need to compose a list of at least 12 places. These establishment’s can be anywhere in the St Pete area. [...]

Ok, I’ve started putting up the blurbs for the 2007 Readers Poll Best Of winners. Eventually the list on the left-hand side will link to the blurbs. Look for some new polls to settle some run-offs to go up this weekend.

A very good source has informed me that the Bungalow Bistro will be opened this Sunday for Brunch! Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I love Brunch. I’m not a real big breakfast person, but something about having the decision between Eggs Florentine Benedict and a hearty Roast Beef sandwich with a cup of Soup de Jour just does something [...]

Best 24-hour Restaurant – Three Coins

Three Coins recently changed owners and has gotten a lot of favorable buzz. One of the great changes they made was to turn themselves into a 24-hour diner. It makes me yearn for the days when my days were nights.
Another great change they made was to start accepting cards.

Alessi Bakery is rapidly approaching their one hundredth year in Tampa. They’re a favorite spot for cakes, wedding cakes, sweets, treats, and fresh-baked goodies. When I first moved to Tampa I thought people were talking about Alessi Italian Bar & Grill when they mentioned Alessi’s. The Italian bar and grill serves pizzas that have crusts [...]

I love New World Brewery. They have a tremendous selection of beer, great free jukebox, pinball, foosball, and a soothing fountain in the middle of their beer garden. Beer is the specialty here. There’s no liquor, and only one kind of wine.
There’s live music on most Fridays and Saturdays, and a DJ on Wednesdays [...]
