Re: “Vietnamese dining guide”
Agree, Saigon Deli, the real one, not the other one across the street.
Re: “Ale aboard for Cigar City”
We ate there and the food was excellent. You need to go back and have the chocolate cake!
Re: “Yes you can can”
lets not forget the old elephant foot IPA in the 16 oz cans from Tampa Bay Brewing Company. That is some good drinking.
Re: “Vietnamese dining guide”
I love Saigon Deli on Dale Mabry next to La Quinta! It's awesome.
Re: “Mi Ranchito: Lunch, pets and an oil change”
Its amazing, how peple if we ca call it people, dedicate themself to write such trash as above, nevertheless, we at mi RANCHITO, HAVE BECOME MILLIONARE IN THE PERIOD OF (5) YEARS.
WE HAVE TWO LOCATIONS, The pork is the best in town, the petshop store is/was a next door busines irrelevant to the restaurant, whicvh is a family orientated cafe, for family who love clean and healthy food. The facts of Mi Ranchito cafe are contrary to the garbage statements made above by a none educated baster, lier, envious of hard working and propered humans, more power to MI RANCHITO CAFE, AT COLUMBUS AND HAVANA. GEORGE.

Re: “It’s R Bar”
Not one for beer, I'll vouch for Eric the cook. I tend to get the same thing over and over, because I enjoy it so much: fried chicken, wings, fried shrimp, thin crust pizza, or snow crab with a side salad. They are all excellent. We come from Largo, past dozens of beach restaurants with similar food, but the trip is definitely worth it. Not to mention the prices being so good too.
Re: “It’s R Bar”
Awesome job B.T.G.. Can't wait to get out to Florida to try it. I'm down with the Porter , but IPA, that's pussy beer. Also, will you sign my rack? See you soon, Jizim P.
Re: “It’s R Bar”
Congrats Eric!!! BTW the beer is really good!
Re: “Bring your own bottle”
Hey SydWillis, Beirut Cafe is in St. Petersburg and I highly recommend it. As for not including more places, we tried to focus on areas you may not consider for BYOB. If you hear of any good St. Petersburg BYOB, please let me know. I often update dining guides with additional locations since we are limited on space.
Re: “Bring your own bottle”
nothing in stpete wow that's lame as hell
Re: “Gary and Amy Moran leave Wimauma”
The Morans are an awesome couple and I'm glad that through Wimauma I've gotten to know them. Much success in your future!
Re: “Great whites”
All your points are, of course, well taken and helpful to those with some level of wine knowledge. I hope you will forgive me, but the new column is not directed toward the converted, but rather to those for whom wine is often a conundrum . . . and also limited to a max. of 700 words a month. Most folks don't even know what grape is in Chablis and usually relate it to jug wine. In fact, most Chablis in a jug isn't even Chardonnay, but rather an insult to Chenin Blanc. So hang in there, try not to get frustrated, and keep reading and commenting.
Re: “Tampa's Saigon Deli serves excellent Banh Mi Mesandwiches”
Thank you Larry!
Re: “Tampa's Saigon Deli serves excellent Banh Mi Mesandwiches”
Saigon Deli has moved to 3858 Waters Ave.
Re: “Great whites”
What about Chenin Blanc? A lot more interesting than Sauvignon Blanc.
Aged Riesling with a little sweetness is also a great pairing with red meat. Try it.
Chardonnay isn't always heavy - Chablis? Bright green fruits and seashells make it lithe and extremely food friendly.
