The Crazy Flamingo

Wow, it's been so long since I posted. I really don't have a good excuse...I've just been lazy.

Let's star this off with this local bar in Florida.

Kathy's Seafood Marinara - $12.99

Fish Sandwich - $10.99

Buffalo Wings - Bald Eagle Sauce - $9.99

Overall, good restaurant/bar to have near your house. The fish sandwich was fresh and delicious. The wings were spicy (as promised - Bald Eagle is their spiciest sauce) and not too big. 

Looking back at these pics is making me crave some buffalo wings and beer...

Peace Love and Little Donuts

Woke up one morning and I just wasn't feeling diner, iHop or DD food. So I went to Yelp and found an interesting donuts place.

Pretty decent reviews on yelp and it was close by so I said why not?

The location is a bit odd though. It is located inside a gas station. There was one table outside and one table inside so this is definitely more of a pick up place.

Inside is pretty welcoming and clean.

Donuts deep fryer right in the open for you to see.

I got two Boston Creams and two peach donuts.

Boston Cream

I was not a big fan of this one. The cream just did not taste right. Dunkin Donuts' version is much better.

Peach Donuts

This one was better but still not great. I've never had a peach donut before so I can't compare it to anything but I feel like the peach should have tasted fresher. The donut was also a tad too sweet for me.

I'm definitely going back to this place the next time I am in Florida. It's different from your average donut chain and I gotta try their other flavors.

Datz

Stopped by here for a bite before flying back to NY. It was the #1 tampa place on Yelp so I figured why not.

Got there around 11am so we were able to sit right down.

Chili

The chili was good. Taste was flavorful. The consistency was more soup like than stew like. It also lacked an abundance of beans. Personally, I prefer it a bit thicker base and a good amount of beans. Other than that, I enjoyed this.

Dumb Cluck Beer - $12
Braised pulled chicken, bbq sauce & white ched-dar served hot on a house-baked sourdough bun

Chicken was moist, flavorful and wasn't too sweet. Good sandwich. Chips were good as well.

Havana Hottie - $12
Datz pulled pork, baked ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle, honeycup mustard, served hot on a house-baked batard

I personally did not like this one as much. H liked it though. I thought it was a bit on the bland and dry side. Fries were good.

Overall, great place to stop by for some lunch. Service was super nice. They also had a nice bakery. If I had more people to share a dessert with me, I would have gotten one ;)
