I agree on lobster because I think crab tastes better.
Agree on truffles, I think they are just expensive because they are rare and fragile, not because they are magically delicious.
People here LOVED Dave's hot chicken. I went and really, it's fine, I'd eat it but wouldn't affirmatively choose it, if getting industrial fried chicken Popeyes and Publix are both better.
And man do people love Cuban Sandwiches here. Again, I will eat them they are fine but mostly because the bread is so good. Would rather just have a roast pork on the bread, dressed, without the ham & salami, or even the cheese toast on Cuban Bread I think is so good. There is nothing magical about the 3 meat combo.
Tampan detected. I love a Cuban sandwich, but I've never had one from Tampa, so maybe yours are worse, lol.
It's funny because Tampa does bat way over its league in restaurants generally. We have amazing food here, all over. Why is "the" food that sandwich? It's good but def overrated.
Most of the snooty rich people food are like this. It's also why they're so threatened by cheap mass produced alternatives. If the knockoffs were actually significantly inferior in flavour they wouldn't be threatened.
