French fries are such an underrated food. We always talk about who has the best pizza or Chinese food. But sometimes a french fry can be the highlight of your meal.

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.

The 5 best french fries in Tampa Bay

You still have time to devour some truly awful things before those New Year’s resolutions ruin your life. And the timing couldn’t be better. My favorite South Florida junk food spot is coming to St. Pete for 2 days this week. What do they serve? Hold your arteries. Deep fried cheesesteak eggrolls dipped in a ranch sauce with a sweet and sour kick. Yep, it’s a heart attack just waiting to happen.

I found “World Famous” on a Yelp search during a Fort Lauderdale visit years ago. The little to go restaurant isn’t even in Fort Lauderdale. It’s tucked way in a strip mall in Lauderdale Lakes. You’d never notice it from the street. Word of mouth has made the place, well, famous. These cheesesteak eggrolls are as good as they look and sound. I’ve had them a dozen or so times since that first visit and figured I’d offer up my advice since their food truck is coming to St. Pete today and tomorrow.

There are not a lot of great Italian restaurants in Florida.  So when one pops up, it's worthy of a podcast episode.  This particular one is located in Clearwater where there are so few good restaurants.  It just opened about a month ago and you've gotta check it out if you're a chicken parm lover like me.  Vinny Fortunato has opened his new restaurant Antico Fornaio.

I think I found my new favorite spot for Chicken Parmesan in Florida

Florida still doesn’t have an In-N-Out. So you can’t get a Double Double Animal Style. So what are the best fast food burgers you can order at the drive thru for lunch today if you live around here? A new USA Today ranking is out and here are 7 of Florida’s best fast food burgers. I think the most surprising thing is who’s NOT on their list.

McDonald’s, certainly the most consumed burgers in Florida, has NO picks on USA Today’s top 10. Not even the Big Mac. Also not on the list? Wendy’s! Of the fast food chains, those are probably the two most visited Florida burger joints, but neither made the list. I would argue that Shake Shack deserves to be on this list way more than USA Today’s #7 pick.
