Florida’s Old-School Barbecue Pit in Plant City Has Been Smoking Meat Since 1954

The french fries at one Florida barbecue joint get fried in beef tallow. Somehow, that isn’t even the headline. The real story is the smoke. This low-key spot has been turning out pit-smoked meat since 1954, which means a lot of brisket has passed through those pits. You can...

Cajun-Creole Specialties Make This Old-School Lakeland Restaurant Worth The Drive

Oreo beignets. Fried blue crab claws. A redfish dish crowned with crab meat. That lineup alone tells you this kitchen does not play it safe. The menu leans hard into New Orleans flavor. Jambalaya, etouffee, red beans and rice, and boudin balls all share space here. I like how a place far from the bayou commits this fully to Cajun-Creole cooking.

Chicken Guy is the addition students have waited for

As a senior at Florida Southern College, I have watched the dining options on campus change almost every year. From renovations to Wynee’s Bistro to new food concepts, the college has continued to find ways to improve the student dining experience. While the loss of Steak ’n Shake may be disappointing for some students, I believe Chicken Guy is a wonderful addition to campus.

The Top 50 Restaurants of Tampa Bay 2026

When I began working on this year’s Top Restaurants list, I had a natural starting point. Staring down last year’s list of 50, it almost seemed like my work was done. But it wasn’t that easy. Fifty is a lot, but it’s still a finite number. And what about the restaurants I encountered this year for the first time? What I didn’t want was a list that looked identical to last year’s. Where’s the fun in that?

At This Amish-Style Store In Florida, You Leave With Shoofly Pie, Whoopie Pies, And Made-To-Order Deli Sandwiches

Shoofly pie, Lebanon sweet bologna, and Martin’s chips share shelf space in one small shop. The surprise is that the shop isn’t in Pennsylvania. I love that a single stop can pack so much Pennsylvania Dutch flavor into one modest room. Whoopie pies, pickled eggs, and whole pickles all compete for attention.
