We just love the magic of GaYBOR!!! After a full Sunday FUNday, we stopped by Bradley’s on 7th. Sitting next to us were 2 very cheerful guys. Ryan & his friend. The conversation moved to food. When we talked about kim chee Ryan’s eyes opened up. It turns out he is a chef at the new restaurant across the street to the University of Tampa, “Edison: food + drink lab.”
Ryan described a chef’s special, Tuna Tartar with kim chee & Korean pickles that they make at the new open air trendy bistro. The next day we made a trip to the Edison. Located at 912 W. Kennedy Blvd in the same building as GaYBOR Members Tribeca Hair.
The dinning room has a fresh, clean, scientific fun Edison- esk atmosphere. The luncheon menu was full of interesting & unusually interesting savoring items, mostly New American Modern Cuisine. Our server explained that most of the items have 5+ flavors hid on each plate. We looked up to see our friend, Melissa (Madge) Judge was working there as brand operations mgr. We commented on how fantastic the menu was then she told us who the Chef-Owner is… Jeannie Pierola!!!
WOW Jeannie is a legendary celebrity chef in Tampa. From Bern’s Steak House and SideBern’s Restaurants to private pop up parties!!! The staff is made up of people who Jeannie personally knows and has worked with. The food, service & atmosphere all got 5 out of 5 stars from us. Our only complaint is that Edison is not located in Ybor City! LOL LOL
You all know how much we like to walk to everything. Edison’s is perfect for “Date Night!!!” We highly suggest reservations for this “Must Do” restaurant at http://edison-tampa.com/
