Bay Area Best

Renee Warmack has made some of her best memories at Gino's Bar and Restaurant in Tampa. She showed FOX 13's Chip Brewster why it's the best comfort food spot in town.

Nestled in a spot on Deltona Boulevard in Spring Hill, Richie Cheesesteak serves up the Philadelphia classic, with the Whiz or provolone, plus pizza, fires, and much more. FOX 13's Chip Brewster shows us why this is one of the Bay Area's best.

A friend group of triathletes has made Wild Turkey Tavern in Avon Park the place where they prepare their bodies and their souls for competitions that can take a lot from both. That's what makes the tavern one of the Bay Area's best.

When one of our FOX 13 viewers lost her only child, a piece of her passed with him. But the hole in her soul was filled years later through a major surprise and over a magnificent meal. She shares both of those with Chip Brewster by taking him to Benedetto’s in Land O’ Lakes.

If you're in the mood for comfort food, head to Fresh Country Cafe in Zephyrhills, where you'll find everything from chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with gravy to strawberry shortcake, piled high with whipped cream. It's a Bay Area Best!

The Andre Pandreus Jerk Hut Island Grille and Beach Club stands out at its location in North Tampa - both for its bright teal roof and its flavorful Jamaican fare.That's why it's one of the Bay Area's best!

Food can both unite and divide us. Perhaps you love olives with a passion while your significant other can’t stand the sight of them. So how does a family reconcile their differences? That’s the subject of this week’s Bay Area Best, which sent our Chip Brewster to Riverview.

Sometimes all it takes is a simple smell to transport you back to your childhood. But in the case of this week's Bay Area Best, it's the taste that brought a FOX 13 viewer back to her southern roots. She's sharing her favorite Bradenton spot with our Chip Brewster.

Some of life’s experiences are best shared with others. It’s a concept FOX 13 viewer Paula Scott knows all too well thanks to Savanh of Laos in Seminole, Florida.

Sometimes, a first date is also a last date, but for one FOX 13 viewer that date resulted in a partner and new favorite restaurant for life. And it wasn’t just the food that did it for him. In this week’s Bay Area Best, FOX 13’s Chip Brewster takes us to Tampa to hear the story for himself.

Amy King took FOX 13's Chip Brewster to the Latin Bowl in Largo for this week's edition of his Bay Area Best segment.

There are thousands of restaurants in the Bay Area, but it’s only a small percentage that truly stand the test of time. 

Every day is full of surprises. You never know when life is going to throw you a curveball. FOX 13 viewer Jerry Krentz was on his way to lunch one day when that curveball came.
