For an escape, she recommends this taste of Italy

Working as a 911 operator can be a stressful job, so having a way to relax is almost a necessity.  One former operator found that at a local restaurant: Da Sesto Italiano Ristorante e Vino in Pinellas Park.  She shared her getaway spot with FOX 13’s Chip Brewster.

Admitted food snob found 'love at first bite' in Hernando Beach

Drive on up Shoal Line Blvd. through Hernando Beach and you’ll see about a dozen different restaurant options.  For Mark Burton, though, only one of them matters: R Beach.  That’s why he contacted FOX 13’s Chip Brewster to bring his Bay Area Best segment to the seafood spot.

Eating clean and local in Temple Terrace

If knowing how your food is grown is as important to you as how it tastes, then FOX 13 viewer Lynn Fanizadeh has got the perfect spot to check out.  She took Chip Brewster and his Bay Area Best segment to Temple Terrace and the Windmill Natural Cafe.

Looking for a gig, he also found fabulous French food

“You don’t have to speak French to enjoy French cuisine” is something FOX 13’s Chip Brewster learned while shooting a Bay Area Best segment at Café Longet in Venice.  In fact, that was a lesson learned by FOX 13 viewer Rod Demers as well.  He’s the one who brought Chip and his segment to the French fusion café in the first place.

For her, this Thai spot is spicy, sweet, and sentimental

Food is involved in nearly every major life event. And for one couple in Bradenton, that food comes from a specific restaurant. They love the place so much that they invited our Chip Brewster and his Bay Area Best segment to meet for a meal.
