    I will be vacationing in Miami starting this Sunday the 31st until next Friday the 5th.

  • GrillSmith Chef Joe Guli Interview & Chef Guli’s Top 10 Fourth of July Grilling Tips

    I had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with Joe Guli, GrillSmith‘s Chef Tech of Operations in this area, today at the Brandon location located inside the Westfield Brandon Town Center (located outside near the food court). GrillSmith was established in 2004 and is an affiliate of Front Burner Brands, a restaurant management company…

  • Lee House Chinese Restaurant

    Lee House Chinese Restaurant has re-opened on Brandon Boulevard after closing off Bloomingdale Avenue in March. I first read about Lee House online and was intrigued at the positive reception. The first thing we noticed upon pulling up to the restaurant was that it smelled great outside the restaurant (a good sign). Once we entered…

  • How To: Research Restaurants Before You Dine

    Many people search Google for restaurant reviews and are not sure about where they should be looking for reviews or the reputation of where they are looking.

    Normally I try to refrain from reviewing chain restaurants, but my first visit to Miller’s Ale House was such a good experience that I have decided to write about it. My friends recommended their Honey Mustard Wings, we ordered 50 wings for about $24. Not bad pricing and more than enough to feed 5 people.…

  • Samurai Blue after David Choi Concert

    Five friends and I stopped by Samurai Blue after having a good time at the David Choi concert. It was around 11:30pm so the place wasn’t busy. We were seated promptly. It took about thirty minutes to get through putting in our orders because the waitress kept going into the back…after that it took about…

  • Jasmine Thai (Brandon)

    Jasmine Thai in Brandon is a totally different experience from Jasmine Thai on Dale Mabry. I don’t think the places even have the same owner because the Brandon location has its own website. The Brandon location happens to be one of my favorite Thai places in town. Service is always prompt and food has always…

  • Food Adventures #002

    This past week was a much slower week in food adventures. Most of what I ate was either home-cooked or some form of fast food (in fact I have been eating way too much fast food…such a waste of money and not to mention super bad for you). However, I did make a few stops…

  • Carlos Eats!

    Welcome to http://www.carloseats.com After spending some time frustrated with Blogger I decided it might be time to just go with a domain name and get a nice WordPress theme so I did it. I’m happy with the results. WordPress has a great interface both in the editor and the actual presentation of itself. I hope…
