It really is super divey. However, everyone tells me the steak sandwich at Graziano's (the grocery store not the restaurant on Bird) is extremely good with excellent quality meat. I have not personally tried it because of they do not have shoe string fries and I am biased like that sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360180337648262818.post-27534740326492088782010-02-25T14:58:33.221-05:002010-02-25T14:58:33.221-05:00Frod, how your arteries are still clear afer this ...Frod, how your arteries are still clear afer this research I have no idea! What a great list. And soon you'll be able to add another. I've seen on Coral Way in a spot that's gone through many tenants (among them a Don Pan) there's a Latin American opening.

It was the mix of Sicilians, Spaniards and Cubans in Tampa that created the taste combo that is far superior to the ham and pork modified "mixto" sandwiches here.
