Tallahassee Tiffin Box closed for good, new chicken spot on horizon
After less than a year of operation, the fast-casual restaurant with a mission to make "Indian food more attractive to every palate" has officially closed for good. Tiffin Box opened in August 2025 on 799 W. Gaines St. It was in the former I Heart Mac and Cheese storefront in College Town and sat next door to other food spots like Bagels and Co., Chipotle and Playa Bowls. For 10 months, the bright yellow restaurant offered family recipes guests could enjoy in customizable bowls, wraps and naan roll ups. Owner Anesh Bodasing was intentional about making Indian food approachable to guests and newcomers by breaking down the ingredient names to make them more familiar and adjusting spice levels to suit every palate. The CollegeTown location was a part of the owner's vision to expand into college towns. One Tiffin Box location remains in Gainesville. In terms of the future of the Gaines Street storefront, a pink poster hanging on the front door alludes to a new concept on the horizon and yes, it's more chicken. But, this doesn't sound like your typical chain establishment looking to expand. The name is 2 Clucks and according to the poster they are "Coming

Chinese restaurant Panda Buffet closes after 10 years in Tallahassee
After over 12 years of operation the Chinese restaurant on 3507 Thomasville Road — right next door to a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen — has closed for good as of June 10. For months, longtime patrons of the local family operation Panda Buffet have been questioning the status of the restaurant once it temporarily closed its doors during the 2025 holiday season. According to commentary on the social media group Tallahassee Foodies, customers were initially told the owners had traveled overseas to visit family when they arrived looking for their usual buffet fare. Completely normal. This closure like others they've had over their decade of operation felt quite routine. But days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Like many patrons, the Tallahassee Democrat attempted to reach the restaurant for comment, but calls went unanswered or were disconnected. In the meantime, handwritten notes posted periodically on the restaurant’s door became the only form of communication. Early messages cited a vacation, followed later by plans to take time for renovations. The restaurant’s website continued to state that reopening was anticipated in May 2026. However, the "For Sale" sign in front of the building and Google listing the fixture as "permanently closed"

Five Florida Panhandle restaurants were just added to Michelin Guide
Michelin announced the addition of five Florida Panhandle restaurants to its famous Michelin Guide . The Michelin Guide first came to Florida in 2022, but less than a handful of cities participated at the time. 2026 is the first year that the guide has expanded to the entire state. Pensacola's A Mano Panino , known for its handcrafted Italian sandwiches, stands out from the pack. It earned a "Bib Gourmand" distinction, signifying excellent food at affordable prices. A Mano Panino Where : 1010 N. 12th Ave., Suite 128, Pensacola Food : Italian, regional cuisine Distinction : Bib Gourmand What the Michelin Guide says : Located in the East Hill neighborhood within the converted, historic Sacred Heart Hospital, this fast casual spot from husband-and-wife duo Alex and Ashley Lamonte is all about sandwiches, especially on their signature schiacciata bread. Don't worry if you can't pronounce this Tuscan-style bread that's similar to focaccia but thinner and crunchier — it's delicious either way. Notable considerations include the La Cadenza, combining tender roast beef, horseradish, mustard seed cornichon relish and finished with a demi-glace. La Cantabile, layered with ahi tuna confit, caper mayonnaise, tapenade and giardiniera is another must-order. It's all packaged to go
