It just occurred to me how quickly Tampa-area foodie video is growing. If I were a well-heeled entrepreneur I think I'd be contacting everyone below about starting the Tampa Food Network. Comment if you can think of more. Perhaps the most ready for prime time local foodie is Jaden Hair. Jaden already appears regularly on local TV. She also has the confidence and wit to carry her own show. Who knows how long it will be, [+]

Yowza! I've been neglecting my blogging side of life. I think my body returned from my long weekend at the beach, but not my brain. I wonder if anyone will notice? Anyway, in an attempt to get back in the swing, how about a quick spin around Tampa's electronic food space. I admit it. I ate a frozen pizza last weekend. But, I swear to God I don't make a habit out of it. Why? Probably the [+]

Laura Reiley finds three more new restaurants. With the four that I've pointed to recently and Laura's three, plus Smoke, that makes for 8 new restaurants in the past month or so. I thought people stopped eating out because of the rise in costs. Is this really the time to start a new eatery?

(I'm still on hiatus, but I dropped the following post at the blogspot address, and figured that for consistency's sake I should post here as well.) Yikes! I've been spending so much time futzing around with a new design I forgot to put up new content. The other day I even went to Carrollwood Cafe & Deli (on the recommendation of the Urban Eater) to have something to write about. But instead of taking a photo [+]
