‘Annual Ybor Flan Fest’ Take All Bragging Rights Contest, Sat
This Saturday will be another tasty day in Centennial Park for the 10th Annual Flan Festival. Last last year I was a proud “Flan judge” sampling over 25 types of entried traditional & non traditional sweet flan recipes. Over 50 recipes were entered last year! This year ??? Thousands of people make sure they are at this delectable desert dish competition. It is the smiles and glistening eyes from the people that make the statewide famed desert match up so exciting.
The old original French word for flan, “flaon” and Spanish ” flan” is an egg custard desert served in most of the Ybor & Tampa Bay Spanish restaurants. Thus the uniqueness of the family secret desert.
The contest runs this Saturday from 11 – 3 pm and judging is at noon. A lot of other activities are also included with expanding flan contests and activities.

The Laughing Cat Restaurant
The best fresh seafood in GaYBOR?Ybor is at The laughing cat Restaurant. This week Chef/Owner Franco took us into the kitchen. There were 2 huge, over 40 lbs each, Chilean Sea Bass! Franco was going to top the bass with a French sauce made with cappers, butter, shrimps & his secret spices. WOW!!! It’s easy to see why The Laughing Cat is #1!!!!
