Anyhow, as anyone from Boston/North Shore can attest, we are snobs on pizza, roast beef sandwiches and even Chinese food. Heck when I moved closer to Worcester I couldn't even find good Chinese nor roast beef.

So what I'm looking for is roast beef like Kelly's. Warm beef slices on a sesame or onion roll, American cheese, and bbq sauce.

Pizza, needs to be Italian style, not Greek. God I'd kill for a Santarpios pizza. But heck even Papa Ginos is acceptable.

Chinese, well if you are from the North Shore, you know Kowloon style. That's what I'd be looking for.

Please no haters. The food IS NOT A DEAL BREAKER. If you want to tell me to stay in Massachusetts, just move along. This is for fun and to hear what there is for fast casual stuff around the Villages. It does not matter if the food doesn't live up to what I have in Massachusetts. I'm just trying to learn more.

Well, that's annoying. The ************** should be villages news with a hyphen between villages and news. I kept trying to send it in different ways but it keeps putting the dumb * in. I found the article by a google search of "kung fu chef southern trace violations".

Go to:

MyFloridaLicense.com – License efficiently. Regulate fairly.

Scroll down and click on "food and lodging inspections". From there, you can search for any restaurant and read the health inspection reports.

Hi,

I'm from Massachusetts and the best Greek pizza I have found so far is from Stavros and Sons Pizza Restaurant in Fruitland Park. Its a small place that has been in business for 51 years. They even make their own desserts including Baklava. My only complaint is the pizza could have been raised a little bit more but the crust was perfect, sauce was spices nicely and they had a good ratio of sauce, cheese and toppings.

Give it a try when you get down here. It's about 15-20 minutes from Brownwood.

For the roast beef sandwich, you can order James River barbeque sauce. That is the sauce Kelly's roast beef uses. I find Boars Head beef shaved. Heat up with the cheese and rolls and voila: Kelly's roast beef sandwich.

I have found that you can order Domino's Pizza Brooklyn style crust is close to what you are seeking. Also Piesano's is good.

I make my own chinese, but a woman from Everett down here said that the chinese place in the Lowe's plaza on 466A is pretty good.

I also make my own seafood like Kelly's. I have a fryer and make my own fried shrimp and scallops. I also make my own tarter sauce, so it is what most people love. I make the tarter sauce with Bread and Butter pickles and mayonaise.

I have found ways to make do with what we like. Other key ingredients I use are Cento Hoagie Pepper spread and Beano's Submarine Oil. That will help with subs as well.

Hope this helps. Enjoy your move to here.
