BJ's Brewhouse - Citrus Park, FL

Last night, my family and some friends went to BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse and it was awesome. Great beer selection and the food was excellent and plenty of it. I had the BJ’S JEREMIAH RED and it was rich and flavorful. I barely finished the DEREK’S FAVORITE MEATLOAF SANDWICH which was loaded with vegetables and mashed potatoes. For dessert we shared the BJ’S FAMOUS PIZOOKIE, which is a large cookie topped with vanilla ice cream, unbelievable. For good times and great food that is affordable come to the Brewhouse.

The Country Skillet - Clearwater, FL

On our way back from Clearwater Beach, my wife and I stopped in to one of our favorite breakfast places around, The Country Skillet in Clearwater. It may not look like my much, but it is truly "down home cookin". The omelettes our great, they have a Veggie, Meat Lovers, and everything in between. The portions are huge which is critical to me. They serve breakfast all day so stop in anytime. For more details, visit www.thecountryskillet.com , see y'all.

Island Way Grill - Clearwater Beach, FL

I went to a wedding on Clearwater Beach over the weekend. The reception was at the Island Way Grill and the food was exceptional. My wife and I both had the Surf and Turf, it was too die for. The fillet mignon was tender and seasoned to perfection and the King Crab was just succulent. Great atmosphere as well, upscale setting but great sit down food. With a Sushi Bar and Sunday Brunch you can't beat it. Next time you are on Clearwater Beach, visit the Island Way Grill. For more details visit http://www.islandwaygrill.com/ , enjoy.

Mazzaro Italian Market - St. Petersburg, FL

My wife Lori, Co Owner of Simply Divine Events, suggested we go to Mazzaro's after she ate lunch there a couple of weeks ago. So my family and I went and was very pleased. You walk in and you think you are in a New York market, it is terrific. You have all kinds of imported Italian foods for the picking. I had the "Sweet Harvest" gourmet coffee and the Ham, Capicola, and Provolone sandwich. The coffee had a rich, robust flavor and the sandwich was huge, I barely finished it. The bakery was filled with all kinds of delicious pastries, plus several flavors of gelato. Everything is fresh, a truly outstanding experience, for more details go to http://www.mazzarosmarket.com/ , enjoy.

GrillSmith - Carrollwood, FL

The other evening two of my colleagues and I went out to GrillSmith in Carrollwood for an after work get together. We sampled a couple of appetizers including the Spicy Thai Shrimp and the Spinach & Artichoke Dip. The shrimp was delicious with a rich, seasonal flavor with just the right kick. The dip was accentuated with the triple cheese and right blend of artichoke flavor. Also both of these appetizers were half off. GrillSmith also has an extensive wine list to suit any ones taste, great beer list too. I would recommend GrillSmith in Carrollwood to anyone looking for a nice lunch or dinner. You can visit them at http://www.grillsmith.com/ , enjoy.
