Two newcomers to my list this year.  If you're heading to Plant City, don't eat the foods you can easily find the other 51 weeks of the year.  Live a little.  Try something unique that is a once-in-a-lifetime creation by one of the fair food aficionados.  I spend most of my time at Mama Jane's truck.  Her creations have been featured over a dozen times on Carnival Eats on The Cooking Channel and she always whips up something new for the Florida Strawberry Festival.  Several years ago she made what, until this year, was my all-time favorite fair food: Funnel Bacon on a Stick.  This year, she outdid herself. But there are many must-eats... from Smitty's Corn Dogs to Amish Doughnuts, here's my list you can listen to on your drive to Plant City for the 2021 Florida Strawberry Festival.

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.
