The people of Tampa have spoken... often.  They LOVE Eddie & Sam's Pizza downtown Tampa.  I've had it.  I like it.  But I have found better.  Another year has gone by... and my list of the best pizzas in Tampa Bay hasn't changed much.

Devouring the 813 and 727 one neighborhood at a time. #GenoAteTampa began as a hashtag so I could quickly point listeners to places I've recommended on my Tampa radio show and social media channels.  Now, "Geno Ate Tampa" has become the chronicles of my never-ending quest for great burgers, sweet and sour chicken, buffalo wings, fajitas, chicken parmesan, pizza, apple pastries, cheesesteak, grouper nuggets, french fries, lobster rolls and ice cream in the Tampa Bay area.  And that's just what I have for breakfast.

As beloved as the chicken tenders Pub Sub is, I want you to take a chance and order something else instead.

While trying to decide what to get while I was standing in line a few weeks ago, I saw a sign that seduced my taste buds. I don’t know if it’s been around a while and I just never noticed it or if it is truly a “limited time only” offering as the sign said. But I was starving and a Boars Head French Onion London Broil sub sounded like a worthy challenger to dethrone the famous Publix chicken tenders sub.

The Pub Sub that Eclipsed the Chicken Tenders One

I don't do talk about chain restaurants much on this podcast.  I tend to be more of a fan of mom and pop local spots.  But I've always appreciated that Chipotle uses fresh natural ingredients. I don't know if all their menu offerings are 100% organic, but I do know they make an effort to use less science and chemicals in their food compared to other national fast food establishments.  When I heard they were getting into the drive thru game to accommodate our American laziness, I had to drop by to check it out.
