    Bodega used to be a small to go place with just a window to order and no seating. They moved and now have seating. Great Cubans! Casitas has great tacos (I get the fried shrimp) chips and dips & margaritas ! But I think I need to try Hawkers the Asian fusion and Engine No 9 for the burger next time I go visit my Sis over there! Have you tried Mazzaros Italian market either for food to take home and heat up or eat there! It's always packed and closes early so go on a weekday. Amazing !

    I just want to state, how do people drink like they do in these videos where they spend a whole day in a town and drink from 10am to 6pm and then drive cars lol. I know it's "only one" but a cocktail after a beer after a cocktail after beer sounds like more alcohol than most people drink in a weekend. Are you driving around drunched up? Or are you filming your "day in St. Pete" over the course of multiple days? I don't even know how you could eat that much food in a single day haha.

    • @rallokkcaz

      @TheDetourDuo  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Um, we live here, so we walk, Uber, or use lime or bike to get around, so there's that. Even if we didn't, we usually walk or uber when we travel anyway. And where did you get "a day" from? This video is called "12 must-try restaurants in St. Pete". Do you think we ate at 12 places in a day? No, this is over weeks of filming. You know you really shouldn't assume things if you don't have common sense to piece together that much. We're wearing different outfits throughout the video for crying out loud 🤣

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      See there you go making wrong assumptions again. Rich kid energy? Ha! Just say you're broke, that's easier. We don't own a house or a car. I had to join the Navy to support my family and save money to be able to do this, and Sara worked 3 jobs before we started doing TH-cam. Oh, and we're both over 30, working class adults, btw.
