I’m scouring Tampa for some volunteers. I’ve got the game plan, but I’ll need some assistance. No, you won’t need to quit your job in order to volunteer, but I do need some committed (preferably not [...]

The Tampa Carnivore’s Dilemma

Having grown up in the Southeast, bz and I are predisposed to pork BBQ. I had never considered Florida as a bastion of good BBQ, and the relative scarcity of BBQ joints in Tampa had not convinced me otherwise. However, this weekend we finally tried Big John’s Alabama BBQ, on 40th just north [...]

Three Coins Restaurant

I ate at Three Coins twice this last week to check it out. It’s not terribly great. On my first visit I had a burger, which came thoroughly cooked, and slathered with mayo. My second meal was a breakfast burrito, which has the sort of flaky tortilla generally found in your low-end frozen burritos.

Regardless, I [...]

Seminole Heights Restaurants

Tommy in Old Seminole Heights post a list of restaurants in Seminole Heights drawn from the Business Guild of Seminole Heights.

Hmmm, the list seems pretty thin. There’s no Taconazo, no Los Tuscanes, no Rincon Catrocho, and no chains.

Return of Stephanno’s

Most of you already know this, and those that don’t never knew it was missing.

Seminole Heights pizza-lovers hit a gloomy spot a few weeks ago when Stephanno’s pizza simply stopped opening. A message on their machine said they would be re-opening soon. It turns out that owner Paul Stephenson was enjoying such success with his [...]

Merino’s Deli in Seminole Heights

I finally made it over to Merino’s Deli in Seminole Heights. Merino’s is a great addition to the Seminole Heights neighborhood. Seating inside is a little cramped, but there’s more seating outside.

I had a club on wheat, chips, a pickle, and a Barq’s root beer for just over $10. It was great. Non-specialty sandwiches cost [...]

Taconazo, the Taco Bus

I see that Florida Food Hound reviewed the Taco Bus last autumn and gave it a “good, but not great.”
“The legend of the Taco Bus may be bigger than the reality of the place, but it’s still a good choice for authentic Mexican fare.”

In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve developed a deep affection [...]

Ghetto Gourmet

Florida Food Hound reports on his visit to the Ghetto Gourmet event in Seminole Heights.

Bottom-line: GG isn’t for everyone, and this isn’t an inexpensive experience, but if you love good food, and want to see what an “underground dinner” is all about, you’ll want to check out GG.

There should be another Tampa event [...]
