(h/t Eric Deggans at the Feed) This was posted three days ago, but I’m just reading it this morning. Wayne Garcia is leaving Creative Loafing for a visiting professor appointment at the University of Florida. Needless to say Garcia is irreplaceable. He is absolutely one of the best political writers in the southeast, and his regular column at [...] Ben Eason is out, and Atalaya Capital Management is in. The Tampa Bay Business Journal has more. “Now, someone with a name other than Eason will own Creative Loafing for the first time in 37 years following Atalaya Capital Management’s winning $5 million bid at a bankruptcy auction in Tampa Tuesday. Eason will clear out his [...] Wow, while I know that all local newspapers are having financial trouble, I didn’t realize how close Creative Loafing was to an epic fail. Wayne Garcia points to the coverage about the bankruptcy filing. While bankruptcy CAN result in successful restructuring, it’s obviously not a good sign. My best wishes to every one at CL, [...] The latest Creative Loafing is the Beer Issue. *** Brian Ries blogs about the closing of the Tampa location of Chateau France. Opening soon in that location will be Chateau SoHo with former France chef Tony Savage as executive chef. ***The Old Foodie writes about how cold warriors stocked up the bomb shelters for that fateful day. He [...] The recent Creative Loafing Best Of just didn’t have the categories I wanted, so I’ve decided that it’s time for Eating Tampa’s First Annual Best of Eating in Tampa. Below are the categories, so far. Please vote in the comments, and add categories as you see fit. There’s no pressure to vote in every category.

Brian’s post is about the website gototell.com, which “lists restaurants that have been fined by the inspectors of the Florida Department of Hotels and Restaurants.” Browsing through the list of worst offenders, most seem to be [...] Brian Ries at Eat My Florida has a few words on eating local. He has an even longer piece here, from June of last year. *** Laura Reiley has more to say about eating local. Thankfully Kevin L. is keeping an eye on Creative Loafing. I still haven’t gotten in the habit of picking up an issue every week, so I missed the food issue. Fortunately many of the food-related articles have been posted on the CL website. |
