Comments:I cooked my Sirloin Steak the way you describe in the cast iron skillet and it turned out great. I had been cooking with just the skillet no oven. I do need to adjust a little because one of my steaks got more cooked then I like. Anyway, great write up and a GREAT way to cook a delicious steak.

Cheers from Austin, TX,
Richie

Comments:hey kevin,i am from lafayette, but living in chicago, i was feeling a bit homesick for some good food and found your site when looking for a jambalaya recipe. needless to say, it was fantastic, it has only been about 2 weeks since i first cooked it and i've already been coerced to cook up another pot (it's actually on the stove right now)! well, take care and thanks for the recipe.

Comments:Hi Kevin,

Found your site the other day looking for a cream sauce to serve with the frozen crawfish tails I just brought home with me from the West Bank (found out later they came from China!! ) Anyway, I'm a former westbanker myself with many ties still in the area. Went to visit last week and went to place with my Mom and Aunt called 'Da-Wabbit' on the west bank. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, one being "Eggplant Napolean" - I expected to like it the least but it was so WOW, I wanted (needed) to recreate this when I got back to Boston (to no avail) but thanks to your Crawfish Pasta recipe, I came close. A few modifications along with the Fried Eggplant has made this a new favorite...Thank you.

Enjoying reading through your site.
Take Care,
~Christine

Comments:Hi Kevin!!

I've been researching steak cooking methods and hit your site with a Google search. I'm definitely going to try you cast iron skillet method--sounds foolproof!!

By the way, I grew up eating at Commander's Palace and Brennan's before heading off to USL in '71 and the Air Force in '72. I enjoy a good steak but what I'd REALLY like is a roast beef dressed from Parkway Bakery.

We also feel that other than a few things you mentioned like Cuban food, grouper, etc. (and I'll add stone crabs and Ted Peters fish spread/smoked fish to the list) food here is more often than not a disappointment.

If there are others from New Orleans in the Tampa Bay area, it would be great to hear from you!

Comments:Love what your doing here, and welcome to our city. I love to eat, and have been to many of the joints you mention on your site.

I disagree with you about Flay though, He's much too arrogant for my taste.

I found your nice site googling for Jambalaya in Tampa. been in the mood for good Cajun lately. The last great Cajun I had was 2005, in a believe it or not,... Asian restaurant. Zen Forrest was holding a Katrina fund-raiser and 5 course Cajun and Creole dinner. It was superb,
there was: Cream of Garlic soup
Louisiana sunburst salad
Seafood Gumbo
Dirty rice? i think?
fresh Beignets and Cafe Du Monde

The chef/owner is outstanding, I've been to almost all of his tasting dinners not to mention trying everything on the menu. You must try! WWW.ZENFORREST.COM check em out

Also found an okay place for Cajun, Zant cafe, chef owned, a bit crazy and eclectic. Its like sitting down at a garage sale and eating with the people selling the junk oh and if you mind little kids running around. Kinda like going to your Aunt's house?

I'm gonna make a sandwich,.. good eating and keep up the great work

E-mail address: egolden4@tampabay.rr.com
Comments:Hi Kevin, When I read about you in the City Times I felt a warm breeze. I suspect you may become an underground foodie icon in Tampa. I can see that some of the other comments are revealing a deep yearning for an outlet to express our dissapointments, deepest desires and secret loves when it comes to the Tampa Bay restaurant scene. The fact that you seem to 'get it' outweighs the value of sites like City Search, etc.. About 3 years ago(after 9/11) I closed my much loved/hated little upscale restaurant that I owned with my ex husband. We were deeply gratified to see our loyal customers come through the door and dissillusioned that there were'nt enough! Tampa has long been needing a coming together of that which is too precious to loose, our independent restaurants! I suggest the following restaurants; Miguels Mexican on Kennedy Blvd(the good ones are really in the Port of Tampa), Mi Pueblo on Lincoln next to McFarland Park, Pane Rustica on MacDill, Zaeem Palace on Westshore Blvd and Byblos on Macdill. Oh, and if you haven't already been there, the Rack, now owned by my ex husband in our former restaurant space. Great sushi!
God bless you!

Comments:Just wanted to say well done for your NYT article. And thank you. One of the things that really annoys the hell out of me about Tampa is the banal selection of what passes for good restaurant fare. The bar is set somewhere around mediocre, and I have seen a number of great places suffer because it was passed over for a McDonald's on steroids.

I've only been to New Orleans once, but the food was outstanding and I relished in the selection of little holes in the wall. I shudder to think of any New Orleans influenced cuisine you may find here. What I've had, I would never recommend.

I look forward to your Tampa blog. If I might suggest: Cafe European, Tampa Bay Brewing Company, Viva la Frida's and across the street is the Front Porch. On Columbus is La Teresita for great Cuban food and House of Soul for BBQ. I make no guarantees, but I've always done well by them, and they're all extremely affordable.

Also, Tampa seems to have a fairly extensive Vietnamese market, but the trick seems to be finding one that can pass the health code. Also, if you're looking for new/asian ingredients, check out Oceanic Supermarket on Tampa St (just north of 275).

Best of Luck and welcome to Tampa,
Shawn

I am probably an unlikely visitor given that I am an Indian living in Bangkok :) but I spent the last half hour reading some of your posts and enjoyed them!

I've already recommended your site to some of my fellow foodie friends who enjoy their Sunday morning food-reads with a cup of coffee.

If I may, I thought I would suggest adding a rss feed to your blog so guys like me could get your latest immediately.

Keep writing!

I do miss the southern cooking, but not all the salt they use down there. I lived in Sarasota for a while and you are so right-on "volley ball alley" However do try the black beans at The Columbia Rest. in Ibor City if it is still there.

Comments:Great site. I live in Louisville and was down that way to go on a cruise in October. Time constraints didn't allow for a scrumtious meal there. Is Emiril's worth going to or is it all smoke and mirrors with a bank breaking menu?
I caught up with this site after coming across your post in Chef to Chef.

As an infrequent poster at Tom's Foodfest(too infrequent), I stumbled over your website...very interesting,with lots of good info.

Just wondering if you make a good Sazarac? It is so hard to find one these days....the last good one was at Matt & Naddie's.... which is my latest favourite uptown eating establishment.

Looking forward to your future postings.

Sincerely,
Mayson

I visit your site after discovering it through Fitz's site. I enjoy readig it. I was a little taken aback when I ready "f!%$k face" (referring to the scum who stole your camera. It didn't really offend me - just surprised me. You have such a classy page...you should reconsider that line. Just my 2 cents...

Comments:I enjoy your writing, informationa and comments on the Food Fest page. I collect recipes, and dabble, one in awhile with them, but no one in my family likes to try different cooking, I don't do a lot of it, due to the waste, since I always cook more than one person can eat in a reasonable amount of time. I have a very ill son, who never knows from meal to meal what he wants to eat due to his illness, and my wife has never been adventureous to trying out other meals and cusines. Keep up the good work.

My old friend... I am here in your so-called "Dreadfully Boring" Lafayette... I should kick your ass... I love Lafayette

Kidding...

Site is great... I have been blessed to live in Louisiana and experiance the food... I spent two years in Connecticut and I am tired of CodFish & Ham Sandwiches...

I would like to Help you expand on your Lafayette Restaurant base... We have a lot more and Downtown Lafayette is starting to show real culture... BUT we do have two Chilis now... Doesn't matter... Give me a call...
