My apologies for lack of posts. I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but I’m a grad student. Between now and the 12th I have two papers to finish, and a presentation to cobble together. I also have to prepare for an exam on the 12th.
But, the blog isn’t dead. The future holds more [...]

I just visited the Taco Bus for lunch and they have a sign announcing new hours.
They are now open 7 days a week, 7am to 9pm. Mondays and Tuesdays just got a little more delicious.

This past Saturday I found myself FINALLY getting to try TNT’s Southern Spice. It was, by far, some of the best down-home Southern cooking I’ve had in a long time. Rather than take up a considerable portion of the Eating Tampa blog, you can read my full experience here.
The gist is, EAT AT THIS [...]

Lupton’s BBQ Buffet

I love Lupton’s Fat Man’s BBQ & Country Cooking.
Lupton’s has been a Tampa institution for almost 40 years. Though I’d driven by it a few times, and idly noted that I should stop in some time, it really first came to my attention as I was writing the blurb for its win as Best Sweet [...]

Three Coins Has A New Owner….again

Three straight 18 hour days will kill a person, as I almost found out. Business is good right now (no complaints), but it can take a toll. You begin to loose touch with friends, national events, and loved ones. 3 days can make a person feel like they have been exiled on a deserted island [...]

Every once in awhile, C & C will take on a food stylist job. It’s super easy money and you get to be all creative. So, when I got a call last week for a job on Friday, I thought “No biggie. Bake a bunch of cookies and throw some Fall colors around.” The job [...]

It’s that time of year again. My favorite time. The leaves begin to turn shades of amber, gold, and red. The air becomes crisp and tickles your nose with swift sweeps of cool air. The geese can be seen flying south, destine for only what we may assume as a tropical paradise. Oh wait, we [...]
