How about a western themed bar/restaurant with a bronco riding machine and mud wrestling?

Koegels products are available online but the shipping & handling is outrageous. It's tough to pay $6.75/pound for hot dogs, then add $7 or $8/pound for shipping. That definitely made it worth standing in line for Koegels on the Road. It's also nice to meet a bunch of Michiganders there. However, I had not considered Amazon for Koegels products and realizing that I can get it with free S&H as an Amazon Prime user, I may have to reconsider my next Koegels on the Road event!

EDIT:

I just checked Amazon and found that, yes, shipping and handling are free but the prices are inflated. They mentioned a "Koegel Viennas Qty 32" option for $52.99. Koegels Viennas come packed 8 to a pound, so that's really just another way of saying 4 pounds. AT $52.99, that's $13.25/pound. The Koegels on the Road event I keep harping about sells them for the normal retail of $6.75/pound. The $13.25/pound price is a 96% increase over retail pricing. Thanks, but I'll stick with Koegels on the Road unless I'm bloody desperate for a good hot dog!

We need a place that sells Halal Chicken and Rice. And more Mediterranean and Mid-Eat foods.
All healthy food

We have too many chains and fast food places. Seafood would be great.

My thought immediately. We moved to TV from St Pete and between St Pete and Tampa had great choices of real, authentic Thai food. Would not even consider Thai Ruby. Tried it once in that area, didn't like it. Tried again in TV because we wanted Thai food and it is the only choice and swore never again. There is NO resemblance.

It is both Chinese and Thai and we really enjoy their Thai dishes

I don't eat at 5 Guys.

I don't eat burgers at Red Robin. I assume that is what you are referring to as greasy?

k.

Hi, thanks so much for the suggestion. As I read further through the thread I saw this type of option come up multiple times. Sounds like we need some more health conscious options. Thanks for kicking off the thread with such a great suggestion.

Cheers, Dylan

Hi John, thanks so much for the detailed reply and especially for the photos, I found it super helpful. I have always wanted a sports bar, but I totally heed the warnings of the competition. That's a lot of money to sink in and you'd better nail it. I think I am going to poke my head into these spots you suggested when I come down for my April visit. Cheers, Dylan PS - who do you have winning your NCAA bracket?

DylanTodd 03-17-2021 10:15 PM

Bahaha, loved this response!

DylanTodd 03-17-2021 10:16 PM

Thanks so much for the advice, I like this trend towards healthier foods and it has come up a lot in this thread. Cheers, Dylan
