Hot Time in the City


  This time of year in Tampa Bay means three things, the temperature suddenly climbs over 90 degrees, the humidity overwhelms you and an annual outdoor food and music festival is held. The Taste of Pinellas is an opportunity to listen to some lesser music from the 80's ( Rick "Eli Love" Springfield and Eddie Money this year), but the main reason to go is the food. So as the temperature soared we dusted off our bicycles  and pedaled up to Vinoy Park on the waterfront in St.Pete.
  Many of our favorite local restaurants were in attendance but one that we couldn't remember visiting stole the show for us. Snappers Sea Grill on St. Pete Beach offered Seared Diver Scallops over an Asian Couscous. The line in front of their booth didn't lie. The scallops had a great rub and were seared perfectly. The refreshing Asian couscous with cucumbers, carrot and cilantro made for a perfect combination. So much so that we went back for a return visit.
