This is a blog dedicated to talking honestly about food in Tampa. I stress honesty because too many food blogs/columns these days are just masturbatory opuses by fat food critics. Jeffrey Steingarten, I may or may not be looking at you.
Tampa isn't exactly famous for it's world class restaurants, so my partner in crime and I will be making what we can of what we have, generally with un-altered food pictures.
So, in honor of our first entry, we ask you, the reader(s): This is Tampa Bay. You can indulge in tropical libations (sometimes), hit up a down-home dixie dive (yum!), or travel to the depths of the city to find the crown jewel of Cuban sandwiches. But there's always a place...you know the place. It's the place drive by almost daily. It's shrouded in mystery, or maybe it just keeps weird hours (Boston Grill on Fowler & Florida, WTF?!). Either way, you've never been...but each time you see it, you give it a wink and a promising nod.
Well, we're willing to do your dirty work for you. Name a place within the city limits (or a few miles out) that you've seen but never experienced. Then look for an honest, illustrated review here, in this very blog, in the coming weeks. Come on! We won't hold you accountable for the impending bout of diarrhea.
Crispily yours,
A&J

Sounds like a great idea! I'm bookmarking your blog now and will be checking it regularly! Are you ladies willing to do St. Pete/Clearwater area restaurants too or is this all strictly Tampa? If you're game to Pinellas Co. I've always wondered about the Ozona Pig. It's northwest of Clearwater/Palm Harbor area. If not I totally understand and would like to know more about Grass Roots at 2702 N Florida Ave.
Thanks ladies!
Awesome! Glad you're doing this. I shall put it on the google reader immediately.
Thanks for your comments, guys. In response to Rita, yes, we're absolutely willing to venture out to Pinellas once in awhile. We'll be updating with a new food review about once a week, as our personal budgets permit. The Ozona Pig place looks like a great find, and we looove BBQ.
Grassroots on Florida is an organic, raw, vegetarian/vegan place. It may be a little further down on our "must eat" list, but we'll get to it.
Thanks again for both of your comments, and keep checking back for updates!
