We’re in our fifth year of pancakes in the Tampa Bay Area. We could have never imagined letting mom sleep late on the weekends would lead to this.
It’s been a good year for breakfast. This year we’ve done 26 reviews, 18 of which were first-time visits. Of the 26, seven breakfasts were worthy of the coveted five-pancake review. We’ve ridden miles and miles to report on the best breakfasts in Tampa Bay.
This year was just surreal. The high point might be this airside tram in the airport.
And getting to hang with the Creative Loafing crew was awesome fun.
April 2014 will be our five-year anniversary of exploring breakfast and raising boys in the Tampa Bay Area.
Together, we’ve watched them grow (this is Marek)
And grow (Marek)
And grow (Ivo)
And grow
And grow
And grow
We were joined for breakfast by some good friends this year.
Favorite Guest Reviewer Mom.
Our friend Randy, retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and current post-grad student at USF.
My bestest buddy from the Air Force, Captain Jason.
Chris and Lizzy, who have aliens in their back yard.
The only other person I know named “Ivo.”
USF student Montenique, our friend through the most interesting circumstances.
Major league breakfast fans P.J. and Corinn.
We saw some breakfasts flip their last pancakes this year (some of these closures now have new restaurants in the same locations):
It’s been a wonderful year of exploring Tampa Bay’s breakfasts with the boys and sharing it with you, our dear readers. Come join us in 2014 for even more pancake flipping!
Andy, Marek, and Ivo
