Okay folks. So here it is, finally. Another Blog about food in St. Petersburg Florida! Hoo-ray!!! Yay!!!! No, but seriously, I'm pretty passionate about food, my belly would agree, and I couldn't think of anything I am more passionate about than some of the precious dive restaurants are hidden around St. Petersburg Florida. Being one of the few and the proud realtors that was actually born in St. Petersburg Florida, I'm very proud of the unknown elements of my home town. And I am especially proud when I get to share my favorite dives with clients who are moving here and are looking for something a little more local than the neighborhood Applebee's (no offense intended of course). Sometimes St. Pete gets a bad wrap, especially from northerners who are missing their old dives from up north, but we really do have some very special restaurants here.
Now, I love a fancy restaurant like anyone else. But there is something inherently special about finding a dive that makes you smile. Hidden little places that have good food, good people, great prices, and that certain mojo that inexplicably sets it apart from a franchise restaurant. These are the local haunts that I call home. Like a wandering shadow, I often find myself lingering on the bar stools or in the faded wooden chairs of these St. Petersburg restaurants, and its rare that I want to leave. I love my home town. I love St. Petersburg Florida. There I said it. And I especially love the culinary gems I am about to write about. So without further ado, and more pointless meandering about my mission statement when anyone who actually read the title of the blog could figure out what I was going to write about, I will leave you with the name of the first dive we will be tackling on this blog. I speak, ladies and gentlemen, of the historical and famous Chattaway. Until then folks, eat well and be safe!
