I know, who does that?!?! I was so tired and hungry that I decided to call in and place an order from a new Italian place that had opened. <br />
<br />
I called and ordered a meat pizza pot pie (filled with meatball, sausage, pepperoni and homemade tomato sauce and a layer of mozzarella cheese with a homemade pizza dough crust [$6.99]), a side of meatballs (3 to an order [$2.25]), a New York Calzone (seasoned ricotta, mozzarella and one topping in a tender crust and brushed with olive oil [$8.99]). As I was placing the order, I couldn't decide what topping I wanted in the calzone and when asked if the mushrooms are from a can, she replied that they were fresh! Nothing better than fresh mushrooms! <br />
<br />
I had 20 minutes to get there and pick up my food. I was happily surprised at the shortness of wait time. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I was soooooo tired and hungry that I forgot to even take pictures of the strip center so that you could see where it is! But, it is on Ulmerton Road, on the big bend, just before it turns into Walsingham on the north side of the road. (That would be the right side if you are heading towards the beach.)<br />
<br />
I arrived and the owner was super friendly and explained that they are still re-vamping the menu. They have removed all of the cold subs, as they are not "authentic Italian comfort food." Soups will be a seasonal item and daily pastas will be featured on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Concettinas-Kitchen-437239796669316/">Facebook</a>. <br />
<br />
She went and got my food from the kitchen and opened everything to show me! The calzone was beautiful -- I couldn't wait to get home and devour it!! I loved that she took the time to show me all of the items and make sure they were okay. <br />
<br />
I drove home, faster than a speeding bullet, and grabbed some plates so that we could eat!<br />
The calzone was huge - I mean - really big!!! And, the best part was that there was actually a cup of sauce -- not a soufflé cup with a dab of sauce - but a correct amount of sauce for a calzone this size!!<br />
<br />

I have never seen a pizza pot pie and was excited when I saw this. My husband inhaled - honestly - it was gone - the whole thing. When there were 2 bites left, he asked if I wanted a bite. Um, yes!! It was cheesey, heavenly, deliciousness!!!<br />

<br />
Concettina's Kitchen is located at 12543 Ulmerton Road in Largo. (Across from Botanical Gardens.)<br />
I couldn't locate a menu anywhere online, but here is the <a href="mailto:concettinaskitchen@yahoo.com">email address</a>. Maybe they can send you one! <br />
<br />
When I left, she said that they were open til 8, which is different than there menu -- so I am not sure of the hours. I will post updates as I find out more information. <br />
<br />
With all that being said -- go there - NOW!!! You will love it!<br />

I have always loved Da Sesto's Italian Restaurant, but honestly did not like the crowd or having to always wait for a table. (Yes, the food is that good.) When I heard that they were opening a new location - right next door, I couldn't have been more excited. I gave it a week or two for the excitement of the newness to die down and let the kinks get worked out. I couldn't have been more pleased during my recent visit. <br />
<br />
I happened to be driving north on 66th Street when I saw the sign and decided to make a frantic right turn! I was alone and it was too late to call anyone to meet me, but I was hungry and wanted to check out the new place! It was one of the right place and lunch time kind of days!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is a lot more parking than the other location and it looks very pleasing when you walk to the front door. <br />

<span style="color: black;">I entered and was thrilled to see the new restaurant. It was beautiful!! The décor is fabulous and I could not wait to be seated so that I could start eating. The hostess immediately greeted and sat me, giving me the lunch menu to scan my options. Oh Lord, too many decisions!!! I had looked at the menu over and over to try and figure out what I wanted -- but I wanted it all! Everything sounded so tasty. </span></div>

My father always told me when I was growing up "do not fill up on bread." I could hear him say it as I ate every piece of bread. It was warm. It was fresh. I couldn't help myself. </div>

I told the waitress of the three choices to which I had narrowed it down and she said that the "Pappardella Mamma Angela" was very popular. I decided to have that as it was the one I had picked out first before I changed my mind six times. Normally when I have lunch with someone else, I know I am going to get to see at least two things and the pressure was on since I would only get to see and taste ONE thing!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Pappardella Mamma Angela is pappardelle pasta served in white wine cream sauce with capers, mushrooms, ham, Italian sausage, and pancetta ($11).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I continued to peruse the menu as I already know I am going back for the Antipasto! </div>

Needless to say, I filled up on bread and could not finish my lunch. My husband was very happy, though, when I returned home with leftovers. Although he did give me a hard time about not bringing him his own lasagna. (Sorry, honey.) <br />
<br />
I walked around the restaurant and fell in love! I love this huge table for a big party. I love sitting at a high top table, but it's usually for 2 or 4. I need a party - a big party - to go to lunch with me next time so we can sit at the big table!<br />

One of the perks of being a food blogger is being invited to private invitation only tastings like this one that happened last week at Ker's Winghouse. I've always enjoyed Ker's wings but seldom deviate very far from wings while I am there. I am glad that I had the opportunity to taste some new menu items featured in the limited edition "Striptease Menu" as I will definitely be eating more than wings during future visits to the Winghouse!<br />

I like the inside décor of WingHouse. It's more than a bar but not overwhelming. This location (as is the case with all of the ones I have been in) is very clean. When people leave, things of not stay on the table very long before the table is cleaned and ready for someone else. [Pet Peeve - tables of dirty plates waiting to be removed and cleaned.]</div>

Our evening started with the new<a href="http://www.flipflopwines.com/cans/"> Flip Flop Wines</a>. Four fizzy flavors are offered: fizzy chill red, fizzy crisp white, fizzy moscato, or fizzy pink moscato. I was quite apprehensive to drinking canned wine, but they were not bad! The fizzy crisp white was surprisingly quite tasty.</div>

Moving on to the appetizers! We were given three things to try. Cheesy broccoli bites, fully loaded fresh potato chips and the shrimp and chicken combo. </div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up, cheesy broccoli bites. Breaded and fried bites filled with creamy cheese and tender broccoli. As the menu states - they are like broccoli cheese soup in a bite! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Next we have the fully loaded fresh potato chips. These chips are house-made fresh and flash fried to perfection. The chips are covered with blue cheese crumbles, tomatoes, jalapenos, and hot sauce. They are served with a creamy ranch dip and Winghouse cheese sauce. </div>

<div>
These were great, but personally - just give me the chips and blue cheese and I am a super happy camper! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Out of the three, this one was my favorite. Shrimp and chicken combo. I love this because it is one less decision I have to make. Do I want chicken or shrimp? BOTH! These bad boys are made with a blend of Winghouse seasonings and served with ranch dressing. </div>

Just give me those and a can of wine and leave me alone!! No, really - let's keep tasting more food!</div>

The next items served are sandwiches. We were given the Strip Cheese, Stripclub, and bacon ranch chicken wrap. All sandwiches are served with a dill pickle and chips. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The "Strip Cheese" consists of layers of fried chicken strips, pepperjack cheese, bacon, and tomatoes on marble rye. This sandwich seemed to win the consensus of most of the bloggers there. (Not me. I liked it, but I will save my favorite until last.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"StripClub" is made with strips of gilled chicken topped with swiss cheese, sliced ham, crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato with the Winghouse signature sauce. This one was really good too, but still not my favorite!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Finally, the bacon ranch chicken wrap. This wrap contains chunks of fried chicken, bacon, zesty ranch, tomatoes, and cheese wrapped in a chipotle wrap. I think it may have been the wrap itself that made me fall in love with this sandwich, or they way it was grilled. Not sure, but this is my favorite! </div>

Imagine my surprise when I found out that the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Tavern.Time/">Tavern at Bayboro</a> is not just for students! Three of us were debating where to have lunch and someone said, "I heard the grouper is really good at The Tavern at USF." I said, "Who is a student so that we can go?" Honestly, no idea that it was open to the public!! </div>

There is limited parking. I was just about to go park on the street when I saw an open space close to the building. (No, not the one in the picture!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went and sat down at a table around the corner awaiting service. We didn't know that you have to go inside and place your order, then they bring it to you! We sat there for a while before I finally decided to go check out the inside.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inside was full of customers waiting to place their orders and people waiting to pick up their to go orders. I had my heart set on the grouper and when I heard the cashier tell the people in front of my that they were out of grouper, I almost cried!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thankfully, when it was my turn to order, I told her that I was so sad that they were out of grouper because I really wanted the "Crunchy grouper." She said, "Oh, I have two orders of that!" Happy dance!!! Next thing I see, is a man walking with a big fish ready to clean it!! Can you say, "FRESH?" Wow. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He proceeded to clean the fish while I stood there amazed! One of the people that I was with was not enjoying seeing the freshness of the fish - but I loved it!!<br />

We went outside with our drinks. (Side-note: there is a squeeze bottle of simple syrup so that you can make sweet tea without having to worry about the sugar not dissolving!! I LOVE this!) </div>

There is a coffee shop located here, too - but I didn't go in there. </div>

Next is the chef salad. [garden salad with slice turkey, ham, and provolone. $9] This looked so good, that I had a split second wishing that I had ordered that!<br />

There are numerous tables for outside dining. There are a couple places inside, but on a day like today - it was fabulous to be outdoors. There are accommodations for a large party, but remember that everyone has to go inside to order and it could take a little while. Trust me, though --it's worth it!<br />

Let me first say that this is no frills. You are not going to get table service and someone is not going to be at your beck and call. Proceed to the counter and order your food. There are not menus describing every item. There are boards on the wall. <br />

Spring Training is my favorite time of year. What's not to love about great weather, cold beer, good food and athletic men! <br />

Spectrum Field (formerly Brighthouse) is one of my favorite ballparks. Not only because I have fabulous seats, but the ushers are friendly, the beer vendors are fun and you can get a Delco's cheesesteak! (more on that later)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Security is more enhanced this year and you are not allowed to bring in peanuts or other snacks. I've always brought peanuts, but I had to leave them at the gate. You also have to go through a metal detector now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since it's the first game I've been to this season, I had to familiarize myself with all of the food options! A trip around the ballpark is in order.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

The children's area at the ballpark is nice. There is also a children's concession stand right next to it with smaller priced items!<br />

The restaurant has a train theme and the menu offers quirky named items. I use the term "train wreck" a lot, but now it is also one of my favorite breakfast items!</div>

My husband ordered the train wreck just so that I could see it, taste it and still have lunch for breakfast!! <br />
<br />
We weren't seated very long before we placed out order and I sat back to get comfortable. The place was packed and I figured we would be there a long time. I took a picture and before I could even post a facebook status (with this picture) expressing my joy about being able to order lunch for breakfast -- <br />

our food was delivered!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcOz3n_KxeQw8RILVOfAheWAKqJo_JxSVZUHM87NAss6mCCgjRPIwm7IqXZpgPkuCAGMUthL9oJMjiJCyxn77-TKpURoW4MPvgeSAz1mhZSMHhlmkSP9LSRMP1BbkahTQ-qvtjJmtaDm8/s1600/1488119330659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcOz3n_KxeQw8RILVOfAheWAKqJo_JxSVZUHM87NAss6mCCgjRPIwm7IqXZpgPkuCAGMUthL9oJMjiJCyxn77-TKpURoW4MPvgeSAz1mhZSMHhlmkSP9LSRMP1BbkahTQ-qvtjJmtaDm8/s320/1488119330659.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

Imagine my surprise that both of our meals were at the table in minutes!!! (I thought ordering lunch at 8am would screw them up -- but alas, it did not!!)<br />
<br />
This first one is the train wreck - and it is amazingly delicious!!!<br />

I was very intrigued by the fish and chips. Last year, this booth was in a different section and was very busy and the fish looked fabulous. Today, no one was in line and I couldn't see what it looked like before I ordered it! (I love seeing someone else's food to see if I want it!) Which is what I did with the gyro below.

In case you are wondering, I did watch most of the game from my fabulous seats! Got to see former Rays player John Jaso. He was with us from 2007-2011. <br />

This is a great place for parties of any size. I have come here alone and dined at the bar, with a friend and sat at a table and have brought a large group of 20 and it was not a problem! I've been working my way through the menu and I have not had anything that I didn't like. Honestly there are not many places that you can go and say "everything is good." <br />
<br />
On my most recent visit, I even tried the fried chicken - thinking to myself, "fried chicken, really?" It is always on the menu, but if you order it before 6pm it's an early bird special and it's only seven bucks! Yes, $7!! And, it's served with two sides. Now this is a half chicken - four pieces - breast, leg, wing and thigh! No joke, this is legit!! It's crispy, but the meat is soooooo moist. I could eat this every day.<br />

I have been wanting to try this Mexican Restaurant for a long time and finally decided to meet friends and have lunch. So happy that we did, kicking myself for missing out on this for months!</div>

</div>
The life of a food blogger is a fun one! Many times we are invited to places to try out new menu items or we get invited to grand opening events. I am not sure how I came upon this invitation, but it was for free lunch and non-alcoholic beverages for two at a restaurant that was opening in St. Petersburg.<br />
<br />
Rubio's is based out of San Diego and there are currently almost 200 restaurants nationwide. This location is the 3rd location in Florida. Their menu includes "responsibly sourced grilled seafood options along with steak and all natural chicken raised without antibiotics, served in tacos, salads, bowls, and burritos."<br />
<br />
A reservation was made and we were one of the first people to try out the new (to the area) restaurant. Two friendly ladies were outside checking people in and telling us a little more about <a href="http://www.facebook.com/rubios">Rubio's</a>. <br />
<br />
We were reminded when we entered that everyone is in training and to please be patient. <br />

As we made our way up to the counter to order our food, it became clear that I was not going to be able to decide what I wanted to order! The restaurant is fast-casual. Your order is placed at the front and you are given a number to have your food delivered wherever you are sitting when your meal is ready.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First stop was salsa bar! Numerous options of mild, picante, roasted chipotle and verde. There were also fresh cut limes, a cilantro onion mix and jalapenos. </div>
<br />

<br />
Next stop is the beverage counter. I was very delighted to see all of the options available! I love - and normally stick to iced tea - but there were so many choices that I had to deviate!! <br />

three choices of fresh brewed tea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried all three of the teas (all were good, mango tea was delicious) and also tasted my husband's strawberry lemonade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made our way towards the table to wait for our food. There are various seating possibilities. tables, booths, high top tables, tables with one side booth and one side chairs, a high top counter (great for solo dining) as well as round tables up front. I think there is something for everyone here!</div>
<br />

<br />
As we waited for our orders, we learned more about Rubio's. I have never even heard of this restaurant before receiving the invitation and was happy to see this on the table.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were prepared for a long wait as we knew the staff was "in-training;" but were pleasantly surprised when the food was delivered a lot sooner than I thought it would arrive. <br />
<br />
I ordered the <a href="https://www.rubios.com/menu/seafood-burritos/grilled-shrimp-bacon-burrito">grilled shrimp and bacon burrito</a>. (Bacon in a burrito - yes I had to try it!) [Toasted cheese, all natural bacon, avocado, blackened jalapenos, citrus rice, salsa fresco and chipotle sauce served in a flour tortilla with chips.] ($8.99) Add a fountain drink and "signature no fried pinto beans" to any burrito for $2.50<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My husband ordered the <a href="https://www.rubios.com/menu/salads-bowls/california-bowl">California bowl</a>. Fresh guacamole, citrus rice, black beans, lettuce, chipotle sauce and salsa fresca topped with roasted chipotle salsa or salsa verde. He chose the salmon (grilled or blackened) with the salsa verde. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also loved the taste of the "no-fried" pinto beans. I will definitely add them to my order anytime!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things on the salsa bar was the "cilantro-onion" mix. This is so delicious and fresh. I had my husband go back and get me a second soufflé cup!</div>

I had a little leftover and asked for a box. I didn't pay attention to it, but when I got home I realized that it was NOT Styrofoam and it made me love Rubio's even more! <br />

<div>
<a href="http://www.rubios.com/">Rubio's</a> is located in Tyrone Mall (6901 - 22nd Avenue N). If you use a Garmin or mapping device for some reason it takes you around to the back of the mall. Rubio's is located facing Tyrone Boulevard. There is a street entrance so you do not have to enter the mall. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did feel guilty eating here since it is not a LOCAL restaurant and a chain, but I am hoping that the owner lives in the Tampa Bay Area. (I have no idea.) I am all about supporting the small independents and the <a href="http://www.localshops1.com/">Localshops1</a> members, but I think this place is going to be one of my favorite dining choices! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rubio's will be opening on October 13th. the first 100 people on that day will receive one FREE taco and Rubio's merchandise!<br />

Try it ~ you'll like it!! I've spent the past three days at Grand Opening events for the new <a href="https://www.earthfare.com/our-stores/seminole">Earth Fare</a> store located in the Seminole City Center. Monday was a private tour for the Community Advisory Board, a VIP Party on Tuesday and Grand Opening on Wednesday. Having been so impressed and having so much fun, I decided to go back with a friend today and give her the exclusive tour! (Private tour by me) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is nothing in this area that even compares. Of course there are grocery stores with cut up fruits and vegetables and grocery stores with prepared foods and even grocery stores that sell things in bulk (or minimal) but it is very rare to find it all in one store!</div>

Grab a few cookies for dessert! Mix and match sold by the pound. The woman next to me bought four cookies. This is perfect for someone like me who has to complete what she starts (ie. a bag of chips, a package of cookies, a pint of ice cream ~ you get it!)<br />
<br />

This cooler is filled with all different kids of local beers, ciders and hard rootbeers. Remember this area when you are thinking about what you want to eat for lunch, because you can DRINK whatever you buy with you meal in the Cafe'!!! <br />

During Grand Opening week, there are many local vendors in the store giving samples of their products. Today, Kevita sparkling propbiotic drink was on hand to tell us about their products. We were able to sample a new flavor on the market that is not available anywhere else in Florida, yet. Mango habanero kombucha. Yes, I had to grab a few bottles to enjoy at home! Thanks Earth Fare for having vendors on hand to answer our questions and let us taste the products!!<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.earthfare.com/">EarthFare</a> will be celebrating their Grand Opening on Wednesday, September 28th at 6:45 am. Until this year, I had not heard of EarthFare. Fortunately, I was selected to be on the Community Advisory Board! Not only did I learn all about <a href="https://www.earthfare.com/our-stores/seminole">Earth Fare</a>, I had the opportunity to sample many of the foods that will be available in the new store located at the corner of 113th Street and Park Boulevard. <br />
<br />
One of the most exciting things is the bulk food section which has over 177 items, including agave nectar and honey!! In addition, there will be a over 9,000 items in the wellness department where you will be able to purchase spices by the OUNCE!!! Yes, you no longer have to buy a whole bottle of cardamom (or some other spice) to use in a recipe and find out that you do not like it!!<br />
<br />
Earth Fare pledges, "Our food is free of: added hormones, artificial fats and trans-fats, artificial sweeteners, bleached or bromated flour, antibiotics, high fructose corn syrup, artificial preservatives and artificial colors or flavors." If you find anything in the store that is on the "boot list," they will remove it from the store!<br />

Gulfport has always been an art community. Lately, I have discovered that it is a dining mecca! There are numerous ethnic cuisines as well as seafood, vegetarian and barbecue. <a href="http://piastrattoria.com/">Pia's Trattoria</a> is a hidden gem on Beach Boulevard that should not be missed. <br />
<br />
A group of business owners (including me) dined at Pia's on Saturday. During the summer, Pia's is only open for lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Ten of us attended a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/localshops1com/?fref=ts">Localshops1</a> event hosted by Pia's. It was a fabulous opportunity to see a LOT of the food at one time. This, my readers, is a fantastic thing for you!<br />
<br />
Our table was ready when we arrived. It looked simply beautiful!<br />

Bottles of sweet and sour orange herbal tea and strawberry lemonade were ready for us to enjoy. These beverages are made daily, in house, and are delicious. </div>

Let's start with my lunch. Farfalle pasta with spicy Arrabiata sauce and shrimp. ($19.50) Spicy, sundried tomato sauce, garlic and red onions, imported Prosciutto di Parmi, red cracked pepper and Vino Rosso. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. </div>

Although the Salmone di Capri is an appetizer, it is definitely enough for a person's lunch! Smoked salmon with horseradish creme spread, sprinkled with a lemon and herb pesto and served with a grilled Italian focaccia bread. ($10.50)<br />

I was happy to see someone ordered a panini. The Crudo is filled with Proscuitto di Parma, mozzarella, arugula, olive oil and pepper. ($12.00) The paninis are made with fresh baked Italian focaccia bread and imported Italian ingredients. <br />

I planned to meet a friend here for lunch and have thought about nothing else but tater tots for days!<br />
<br />
Posted outside at the entrance is the special of the day. I prefer to order food that I do not make at home when I go out to lunch. I love to cook, therefore I like to find things on the menu that are not in my repertoire! Clubs are one of the things that I do not like to make at home. For some reason, I always make a mess of my entire kitchen! Therefore, I was quite excited to see a chicken club as the daily special. <br />

My lunch partner decided to have the turkey avocado wrap. ($9.49) Of course with tater tots. (Tater tots make everything better!) We both ordered iced tea - although I must say we were both intrigued with the Sherbetini. Sweet or unsweet tea are both available.<br />
<br />
When my lunch was delivered, I was slightly disappointed. It looked fabulous, but it wasn't the "club" that I was expecting. It was not what I was thinking it would be. (But, the blackened chicken paired with the bacon and cheese was fabulous! My mouth is watering hours later just thinking about it!)<br />

Little Greek is open from 11am til 9pm daily. This restaurant was very clean. There are two very big bathrooms (1 men and 1 ladies). The ladies room was very clean. (I didn't check the men's room). Clean bathrooms are very important! If the bathroom isn't clean, the kitchen probably isn't either! <br />
<br />
There were several tables that could be pushed together to accommodate larger parties. There is a children's menu with prices ranging from $3.99 to $4.99.<br />
<br />
In addition, <a href="http://littlegreekrestaurant.com/menu/florida-catering-menu/">catering</a> is available. The little Greek has six <a href="http://littlegreekrestaurant.com/locations/">locations</a> in the Bay Area. This one is located at 10801 Starkey Road in Largo. Additional questions, call 727-397-8300.<br />

The taste started with pretzel bites. "Soft and chewy pretzel bites served with a Wisconsin cheese sauce and honey mustard." I liked that they give you two dipping sauces instead of making you decide which one you want. I am horrible with decisions, anyway - this makes it easier!<br />

Next up ~ pork nachos. "Crunchy tortilla chips topped with slow roasted bbq pork, jalapenos, diced tomatoes, shredded cabbage, cilantro lime cream sauce and Wisconsin cheese sauce." <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The plate of nachos is gigantic and enough to be shared. I think I could have polished off that plate alone though, as it was so tasty. This tasty treat may have been my favorite item on the new menu. </div>

This was my least favorite, only because it needed some sort of dressing on it. It would have been quite good with perhaps a vinaigrette or possibly the delicious honey mustard that was served with the pretzel bites. It just needed a little something more. That being said, the chicken was fantastic!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now it's time for a taco salad! (Fresh lettuce topped with chili, cheese, diced tomato, fried jalapenos, tortilla chips and a cilantro lime cream sauce.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I loved the fried jalapenos on this salad. Just give me a bowl of those and I am a happy girl! I had a hard time adjusting to the cilantro lime cream sauce - as I am a sour cream and salsa die hard, but the flavors were really good and I would have happily eaten another bowl!</div>
<div>

<br /></div>

<div>
Two more things to sample and my belly is ready for more! Summer tacos are making their way to our table. (Tacos stuffed with tender shrimp, fresh grilled chicken, or slow roasted bbq pork. Topped with cheddar cheese, shredded cabbage, diced tomato and cilantro lime cream sauce.) </div>
<div>

These tacos were full of flavor. I enjoyed all three, but since you have to choose one of the three, I would pick the shrimp. Others at my table had different opinions, I guess it all boils down to personal preference. </div>

The final item on the "Summer Sensations" menu is a pulled pork sandwich. (Shredded bbq pork piled high on a toasted Kaiser toll. Topped with coleslaw, crispy onion strings and drizzled with Dallas sauce. Served with a dill pickle and crunch chips.) </div>

<span style="color: black;">Looking back, this may have been my favorite item on the new menu! The pork was so moist and delicious and I love those crispy onion straws. Put those in a bowl with the fried jalapenos and I am in heaven!! </span></div>

Once we were all done sampling our entrees, we were surprised with a guava cheesecake! I wasn't too excited about it because I am not really a cheesecake person, but once I tasted it - I would've fought the table for their pieces of pie! Shut the front door - THIS was the most fabulous thing on the new menu!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been here before, but it was a while ago and I forgot how busy it is! When you enter the front door, there is a line waiting to order. You better know what you want as this line moves fast! I let three people go in front of me as I didn't know what to order. I asked each person what they were ordering as I let them move ahead. One man said to order the Chicago beef, the other said to get a hamburger, but the third man was very emphatic about ordering a loaded Chicago dog. He told me three times to make sure that was what I ordered!<br />

While reading the menu on the wall, I noticed a beef or sausage combo. I asked the cashier about the beef or sausage combo. It seemed she was irritated that I was asking questions. She stated that the OR should say AND - both meats are on the sandwich. I explained that I thought it meant that it came with fries or something. I asked if there was anything like that and she said, "NOPE." (Remember this.) I placed my order for a small Chicago beef (4 oz beef with sautéed sweet peppers & onions in Italian gravy $6.95), small French fries ($1.65) and a small fountain drink. The total was $11.27.<br />

I got my drink and sat down. When you order is ready, they call your name and bring your food to the table. As I waited (mere minutes) I noticed all of the condiments on the table. Anything you could need - and if not, there were more condiments by the drinks! <br />

There was no way possible that I could eat all of that food!! Lucky for my husband as he got a bunch of leftovers. <br />
I grabbed a paper menu on my way out to be more educated next time I go and know what to order! When I got home, I was reading through it when I noticed this section:<br />

Perhaps it was because I asked for a combo and not a basket that I was informed "NOPE" no such thing existed. This would have been perfect for me - nonetheless my husband had lunch too and was very happy. I will just know next time to ask for the basket. </div>

At each location, there is a list of beers with a description of each. It's easy just to stay at one brewer and sample everything, but it is much more fun to try one and go to the next. Try one and move on! We had a great time walking around and inhaling the wonderful aromas coming from the food trucks.</div>
<div>

<div>
I was very impressed with the ease of parking as well as the speed of checking in. Since this was my first time at this event, I had envisioned long lines and little fun. I was COMPLETELY wrong about that!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We made our way around to all of the craft brews and sampled... a lot! (Fortunately, we had a friend picking us up after the event, which I highly recommend.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some of the brewers had takeaway cards! <a href="http://www.pairodicebrewing.com/">PairO'Dice</a> Brewing had some interesting brews. </div>

I am certainly looking forward to Brews With Attitude 2017. If you missed this event and you love (or even like) craft beer - you will want to attend this event. Keep your eyes and ears open because you will want to be there!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All that - and they give you a great souvenier photo to remember the fabulous time that you had!</div>

<br />
I was looking for a place to meet a friend for lunch between Gulfport and Seminole. Normally, I just drive by a place and stop in because it looks interesting or there is something on the sign that grabs my attention. I googled the 49th street area where I wanted to be and found a couple different places. I randomly picked the <a href="http://www.caribbeancafe1.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html">Caribbean Cafe . </a><br />
<br />
The inside was very cute and clean. There are several different seating options from tables, to booths to a counter along the window. <br />

I stood at the counter not knowing what to order! There were a few sandwiches that I wanted to try, delicious sounding salads, as well as soups. <br />

I decided (upon a customer's recommendation) on the jerk pork. [Mayo, mustard, cheese & pickle on fresh Cuban bread. ] My friend ordered the turkey and cheese [Dill pickle, mustard and mayo on fresh Cuban bread.] All sandwiches are served pressed or cold and available as a 12" ($7.25), 9" ($6.25), or a combo which includes a 4 1/2" sandwich and a bowl of black beans, scoop of rice and a side of chopped onions ($6.25).<br />

As usual, I wanted everything on the menu. From all-day breakfasts to poutiness to dogs and salads, there was something I wanted in every category! <br />
<br />
A decision was made to start with a poutine. Crinkle cut fries, classic brown gravy and Wisconsin cheese curds. Yes, cheese curds! ($7.50) <br />

There are several variations of poutine. I will work my way to try all three! <br />

Although the salads looked great, I wanted a hot dog or grilled cheese! The names of the grilled cheese sandwiches are fabulous: teacher's pet - brie, carmelized onion, green apples and butter toasted almonds ($9); Pear-fect - gorgonzola, carmelized onions, pear and applewood bacon ($9.50); blue pig - aged Vermont cheddar, black pepper bacon and blueberry jam ($9.50). Since my friend was having the teacher's pet, I decided to go with one of the 100% Vienna all beef hot dogs. <br />

All grilled cheese sandwiches and hot dogs come with a choice of side. Sides include coleslaw, crinkle cut fries, bacon and bleu mac salad, funnel cake fries, tomato bisque and local beer chili. <br />
<br />
Since the decision was made to have a hot dog, it came down to --- which one? There is a note on the bottom of the menu "Add a second dog for just $5" OK then! Let's do that! Again, the names are great! Harry Caray - green relish, tomatoes, sport peppers, chopped onion, celery salt, steamed poppy seed bun ($8); 3 Amigos - chili, shredded cheddar, chopped onions and fritos ($8); Escobar - hard boiled egg, coleslaw, bacon, crinkle cut fries and King Street sauce ($8.50). I decided on the Speedy Gonzalez - coca cola pork carnitas and picked red onion ($8.50) and the Good Fella - a spicy Italian sausage with sautéed onions and green pepper. <br />

And now for the star of the show! The funnel cake fries. I really did not need to know that these things exist. I will not be able to drive down Central Avenue without stopping in for an order of these treats from Heaven! Just thinking about it and posting this picture makes me want to get in my car and go there... NOW!<br />

Check out the ballpark food at Charlotte Sports Park - Home of the Rays.To me, there is nothing better than opening day of Spring Training! I look forward to it from the day the regular season ends. Most Spring Training games are during the day, which often means lunch at the stadium. <br />
<br />
I must admit that I was very surprised at the variety of food available at the Rays Complex. Of course there is standard ballpark fare of hotdogs and sausages, but wait until you see what else you can eat during the game!<br />

The first food area that I came upon was this booth offering gyros, chicken pita wraps, fish sandwiches and fish & chips. [prices ranging from $8 to $9.50)<br />

I asked this man if I could take a picture of his sandwich and he said, "as long as you don't bite it!" As tempted as I was, I didn't bite it! The people in line said that the sandwiches are delicious, but I had to continue my trek to see ALL of the food that is available.<br />
<br />
The stadium is not lacking of places to get a cold beverage! Stands, kiosks and bars are all along the walkway around the stadium. <br />

This stand definitely piqued my interest. Stir fried chicken and rice served in a fresh pineapple. Really?!? Steamed jasmine rice with chicken, peppers, pineapple chunks, Thai spices and sauce served in a fresh half pineapple. [$9.00]<br />

(I had to use this picture off of their facebook page because I forgot to take pictures from the outside.) <br />
<br />
There were many things on the menu that I wanted to order, but I finally decided on the Authentic Polish platter (three homemade pan-fried pierogies, homemade sauerkraut and holiday style kielbasa) [$9.95]. <br />

Rob decided on the Stardust Famous Gyro. [$8.50]. The lamb was slow cooked, moist and very flavorful. This is not your subshop gyro!! I don't think I will ever eat another gyro anywhere else after eating this one! <br />

Tuesday's special is a $2 deal! You can either get a Coney dog, hot dog, French fries, or loose meat sandwich for TWO bucks! Rob decided that he had to have some dogs since they were on sale! (We shared one there and the other ended up being a midnight snack!)<br />

I have been to this restaurant when it was an ice cream stand, a produce market, and a myriad of other things and this --by far-- is my favorite! The interior is very clean and outside is welcoming. <br />

The restaurant has two locations, one in Clearwater Beach, and this one at 11500 Walsingham Road. Both are run by family members and the same high quality food is served at both locations. <br />
<br />
There are daily specials in addition to the regular menu items. On Wednesday, great burger specials; Thursday is combo day; and Friday is the day for walleye and perch. I am looking forward to Friday so that I can have a walleye sandwich!! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://detroitconeyislandllc.com/">Detroit Coney Island</a> is open on Tuesday through Sunday from 11am. Closing times vary. <br />
<br />
Their <a href="http://detroitconeyislandllc.com/">website</a> tells the story of people thinking that Coney Island hot dogs originated in New York, but the popular food got its start in Michigan. "A Coney dog is a beef hotdog, topped with an all meat, beanless chili,
diced white onions, and yellow mustard. A true Coney dog uses
made-in-Michigan products." <br />
<br />
OH, I almost forgot to mention the Faygo pop. I had the cream soda [$2] and Rob had a Vernors [$2]. Mmmmmmmm - forgot how much I loved that stuff! <br />
