For BBQ, there are a couple of places in Tampa ifyou get down there. First Choice out in Brandon is very good. Probably my favorite. In addition to having great pulled pork, they make some collard greens that will make you slap yo' momma!! beware of the macaroni salad. They tell you it is spicy, but it ain't "spicy." It is HOT. LOL It is back in the corner of the shopping center on the southwest corner of Adamo and Falkenburg. in with Hooters and Home Depot. Big Johns Alabama BBQ on 40th St north of Hillsborough is kind of a local legend. It was started by the late Reverend John Stephens and his family have started up a few places over the years. There is (or was...not sure if it is still there) a Texas style BBQ joint out on Waters right off the Veterans Expressway. As for Chinese, it has been too long since I went to any high end Chinese place to tell you. Tampa Bay may be better known for Thai food because of the large Thai population that ended up here because of MacDill Air Force Base. The one pilgrimage you have to make while you are down here is to Berns Steak House in South Tampa. One of the other must do places in the area, Chateau France in downtown St. Pete, just closed recently. The other one you have to go to is much farther away and that is Chalet Suzanne in Lake Wales out in southern Polk County.

haha i think i could do that with no instruction what so everIf you want to learn how to screw up a knife on a KMG belt grinder, drop by my shop!
Hahaha, yea that is not my menu. Working on that, it's a bit all over the place. Working on bringing it back in a bit. Our new location will be near Cypress and South Dale Mabry, across from J Alexanders and directly next to Carrabas. It was an old Perkins. We are completely remodeling as we speak. All the frame work is up and it's coming along. If you know anyone looking for a job send em my way.

Update guys, I've moved to Wesley Chapel, FL. Looking for people that enjoy good food and good company. My wife and I love to cook almost anything.
Bryan - It's been a while. We will probably drop in next month and visit if you're still at one-sixteen.
Welcome to the sunshine state - the only place in world where PVC will rust. Bryan was at Grille One Sixteen a couple weeks ago - and quite busy. Restaurant is nice, food very good, and seems to be going over well. I'm in Brandon and second the nod for First Choice BBQ. Does not hurt that its next door to the best Chinese market in area.
Regards,

It's been several years, but neither Bern's nor Chalet Suzanne impressed us much.
If you get over to the Space Coast, Charlie & Jakes used to have pretty good BBQ & they also had a decent microbrewery in Suntree.

Good to know about Bern's we had that on the list for this year.... Dunedin Brewery is probably our favorite right now, followed by Cigar City. Anyone want to meet in Brandon for some Q?

Like I say, it's been years since we went to Bern's. It may be better now, or we might have hit it on an off night.
