    I finally had the opportunity no the privilege today to have lunch at Cousin Vinny's Sandwich Co…read more on Cass Street in Tampa, and let me tell you -- it was everything I hoped for and more. As a lifelong Tampa native who's eaten my weight (which is a lot) in Cuban sandwiches from La Segunda and PubSubs from Publix, I never thought I'd say this... but Cousin Vinny's just stole the crown as the best sandwich spot in the entire Tampa Bay area. (Sorry, Publix -- you've been dethroned.) What brought me in? Chef Carson, the incredible head chef who used to cook for me for years at one of my longtime favorites, Rooster & the Till. When I heard he'd joined this venture, I knew I had to stop by and see him in action. The moment I walked in, it felt like catching up with family. I told him to pick my first sandwich for me, and he delivered with the Capo Del Shmeet -- a masterpiece I will be dreaming about for weeks. Let's talk about this sandwich. It starts with bread made fresh by hand every single morning -- perfectly crusty on the outside, soft and airy inside. Then comes the star: hand-breaded chicken cutlets cooked to absolute perfection, crispy and juicy in every bite. The cherry pepper mayo brings a subtle sweet taste that plays beautifully with the bright Italian vinaigrette. Fresh arugula, provolone, onion, roasted red peppers, and capicola round it out into what is hands-down the best sandwich I have ever eaten. Every layer harmonized perfectly -- no weak spots, just pure sandwich perfection. But the generosity didn't stop there. Chef Carson treated me to his cannoli cream pudding, which is nothing short of divine. He mentioned that Guy Fieri stopped by, tried it during filming for an upcoming Food Network episode of Triple D (airing July 10, 2026), and responded by turning to Carson and giving him a big hug. I echo that sentiment 100% -- one spoonful and you'll want to hug the chef too. It's rich, creamy, nostalgic, and elevated all at once. To top it all off, I was sent home with one of their salted brown butter chocolate chip cookies. When it comes fresh out of the oven, it is topped with that perfect sprinkle of sea salt on top -- it created the most gorgeous sweet-savory balance with the melty chocolate chips and brown sugar. It's not a small cookie, but I confess: I took one bite at a red light and couldn't stop until it was gone. Cousin Vinny's isn't just another sandwich shop -- it's a love letter to Italian-American flavors done right, with heart, quality, and serious skill in the kitchen. If you're in Tampa (or willing to drive), do yourself a favor and go. Tell Chef Carson, Big Mike sent you -- and prepare to have your sandwich standards permanently raised. Go. Now. You're welcome. (And yes, I'll be back. Frequently.)

    What an incredible experience! First, we loved finding out that Vinny is a former Long…read moreIslander--just like us! It made us feel right at home. The restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Watching the staff work together so seamlessly in a small space was impressive. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing, and the service was outstanding. To top it off, Vinny surprised us with a complimentary cannoli and a meatball sandwich that had been made by mistake. That kind of generosity says a lot about how they treat their customers. The food was phenomenal! The schiacciata bread is hands-down some of the best we've ever had, and the desserts were just as amazing. We loved it so much that we went online later and ordered the Tony Piccante for dinner--and WOW, it was just as delicious! We can't stop talking about this place. We'll definitely be back again and again. You truly have a gold mine!

You have to try the hummingbird and princess cakes!! I finally had the chance to cater from wrights and was beyond impressed. I only needed a few things to add to what was already planned and went with a veggie tray and a couple cakes. The veggie tray is a fresh, plentiful and unique selection with a stand out homemade dill dip for serving. The alpine cakes were also a huge hit! Service for lunch is always fairly quick and with the recent renovation, the seating area is nice. The service for catering is helpful and quick. I had all my questions answered and suggestions were given based on my needs which were spot on.

He enjoyed his sandwich and slice of coconut cake. We did have a long wait in line and he took a seat while I waited. Table service and full menu option while seated would be a wonderful addition for Wright's. My dad can't stand up for long periods of time anymore. He's be a good candidate for a meal with table service if it was offered. I was more than willing and happy to wait to for our sandwiches. However, I know our time is limited and every minute with him counts. I enjoyed our meal and look forward to bringing him back sometime soon. Note: the ice machines were out of ice and needed to be refilled. He didn't seem to mind but it would have been nice to enjoy a soda with ice.

    I've only been to Chicago once, so I am certainly no expert on their local cuisine, but this food…read moretruck situated in a gas station parking lot made the Yelp list of top sandwich spots in the country, so I knew I had to stop by. The first time I came was right after that article, and there were about 50 people in line, so I left. This Saturday I stopped by at around noon, and I was third in line. WARNING: do not be in a rush! Your food is not coming out quickly. Paulie is a sweetheart, but he is a one-man show, and he likes to chat and get to know all his customers. They currently do not carry the full menu they show online, so I went with a Chicago hot dog, and the Italian beef sandwich. Paulie educated me a bit on the sandwich; if I wanted it juicy (with the sauce already on it) or on the side to dip into (yes, please, I'm a dipper), and how spicy I wanted it (more peppers, less peppers). After a nice chat with Paulie about politics, I headed home and dug in. The Chicago hot dog was perfect, although I had to remove the hot peppers. The sandwich was outstanding; the beef so tender, the peppers and onions adding depth, and the roll was so soft-I could only eat half, but the other half heated up nicely for dinner. Can't wait to go back!

The Chicago Dog had perfect snap, a steamed poppy seed bun, and all the classic toppings done right. The Italian Beef was outstanding -- tender, juicy beef soaked in rich jus with hot giardiniera and peppers on a soft roll. Messy, flavorful, and totally addictive. The trick is that they sell out. So, when they do, they close.
