Special: The Sunshine State

Florida, the Sunshine State, is known for it's tourism industry and it's plethora of flat land. It isn't common knowledge that Florida is a culinary superpower. And, some of the best restaurants in the state are rarely seen. Along the backroads outside Tampa, there is a small shack that is rarely open. When it is, it's packed with people looking for today's catch, grilled and placed on a bun. Many restaurants in Florida resemble this. Tarpon Springs is a little known Greek community just North of Tampa, but it has some of the finest establishments in the region. Sometimes, you have to avoid the big cities to find the best stops. Orlando, with every theme park under the sun, has a tourist driven restaurant industry, and driving through downtown, you have to look very hard to find any restaurants at all. Still, though, if you look just past the surface, just past the high rises, that is, you'll find gold in the most unlikely places.
