My friend Stan Garfield is a frequent contributor to the food picks on this blog. Stan has a cool job. He is the Communities Evangelist for Deloitte Global Consulting Knowledge Management. Stan also organized the SIKM Leaders Community which recently obtained its 300th member.
He recently sent me his restaurant log for Tampa Florida with recommendations. Stan provided his meal and his code works like this for those that are rated: * - recommended, ! - highly recommended, % - avoid like the plague. There are a lot of reasons to go to Tampa here. I like his menu selections as there are a lot of Southern and Latin dishes. Tomorrow I will post Part Two that covers October and November.
