On Friday night, we decided to head across the bay for a change and visit downtown St. Pete. We chose to have dinner at Dan Marino’s Fine Food & Spirits in BayWalk. We had visited Dan Marino’s a few times for food and drink before, but hadn’t been back in maybe a year. [...]
Last week I had the chance to grab lunch one day in Ybor with a friend at the Laughing Cat, an Italian restaurant on the corner of 8th Ave. and 15th St. (several doors down from the former TBBC location). While I’d never been to the Laughing Cat before, this friend was a fan [...]
If you go to a buffet restaurant thinking “quantity over quality”, you’re much less likely to be disappointed with the experience. Such was the case with our recent visit to Hao Wah, a Chinese restaurant with a buffet-focus on S. Dale Mabry. We were in the mood for Chinese this past Friday night, [...]
On Monday, Traci and I had a chance to try out Marc and Didi Zudar’s Deli Cafe for lunch. We had never been before, but knew that the long-time restaurant family is known for their cakes and sandwiches. This Zudar’s is not to be confused with the since closed Zudar’s Deli Cafe location [...]

The Ghetto Gourmet, a self-described “wandering supperclub for lovers of fine cookin’, cool art and new friends” is visiting Tampa this Sunday night, Feb 11- and you’re invited. I’ll be going and so will Traci to cover the event. Full disclosure: Ghetto Gourmet was nice enough to give us passes. Started several years ago [...]
This past Friday evening, we were in the mood for burgers so we decided to try out the new Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries in University Collection Mall on Fowler near USF. I had first heard about Five Guys a few weeks ago in an enthusiastic email from fellow Sticksian, Joel. Since then, I’d [...]
Last Friday night we were in the mood for pizza and wanted to try a place we hadn’t been to before so we decided on Cappy’s Pizzeria on Bay to Bay in Palma Ceia. I had received generally positive feedback about Cappy’s after my review of the Gourmet Pizza Company a few months ago so [...]
We were in the mood for something new and different this past Saturday, so we decided to try the misspelled-but-correctly-spelled Gengiz Khan, a little Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant located South of Gandy (SOG) on MacDill. We had never been to Gengiz Khan before, but were familiar with it since it is located in the strip [...]
