Thai Thani
615 Channelside Drive
The Shops of Channelside
Tampa, Florida 33602
had just about the spiciest thing I'd eaten in many years the other day. Naturally it was at a Thai place. Many other kinds of spiciness entails purely torture whereas Thai food is tasty enough for me to want to continue eating out of reasons besides trying to prove my intestinal (and lingual) fortitude. It was a seafood clay pot with bean threads. Broke the diet for the day because of it. Lots of seafood in it considering the price at $17 or so. Tried the Pad Thai as well. Good, but Thai Terrace's is still better. Though Thai Thani was much more hip, and at Channelside. Terrace is only across from Mons Venus; this has its perks as well so to speak.

A taco - not the one Alan had. Working on getting that photo.
Taqueria by twilight
402 South Howard
Tampa, FL 33606
So I have been doing this no starches after dark nonsense for roughly three weeks now. My main intention is to limit my diet without stressing out about it. Irritable dieters have irritable bowels. That's a bad direction to go in. At dusk today I had myself a wet burrito at Taqueria Quetzalcoatl. Introduced to a distant family member from Beijing to tacos. I'd like to think of myself as a lightbringer to the digestive tracts of the world. My burrito was decent but I was more thinking of something more portable. If you're on the go, wet burrito should be low on the desirable foods. They forgot to put guacamole in it after I paid an additional $1 so I'm still a little miffed about that. Apparently they aren't allowed to have customers consume alcohol on the premises and 500 feet around the restaurant temporarily - you can buy alcohol however. Despite all this I still have faith in Taqueria Quetzalcoatl. Good Tex-Mex stuff and decent selection of beers.
