Saints Football
Ok, so it's not a food item, but the
Saints game will always be on at Rock N Sports bar in Centro Ybor, smack dab in the middle of the city. The drinks are
cheap, the food is really good and it's on the second floor, so there is a nice balcony overlooking the street.
Shrimp
Emeril's Louisiana Shrimp - These are IQF shrimp
from Louisiana and packaged by Emeril. I've had them and they were fantastic. They're a bit more expensive than
buying them from the shrimp lot in Westwego, but I can't complain.; Publix (in the freezer section near the seafood counter).
Zapp's Chips
Publix (various locations)

etc.)
