RUN

Richard’s Father’s Day Family Walk / Jog was along the Tampa Riverwalk on Father’s Day in June.  This year is so special because we had two members of the Runcation Nation with us, Jessica and Kelly!  This race benefits the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa and according to www.richardsrunforlife.org, “The money is earmarked for Moffitt. According to the American Cancer Society, one man out of six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and one of 35 will die every year. Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in American men, second only to lung cancer.”. The money raised this year is totaled over $150,000.  We can’t thank Michael Kilgore from the Columbia Restaurant Group for helping us bring two members of our podcast community with us to participate in this fantastic event.  While the weather was humid, the course was beautiful, people were so friendly, and the post-race celebration outside Ulele was great.  There is another race hosted by this fabulous restaurant group called Richard’s Run.  It is a nighttime race returning in the first week of November 2021.  Go for the awesome food from this restaurant after the running is done, too!  We enjoyed having a post-race chat with Tampa icon Richard Gonzmart and top-notch Brewmaster Tim Shackton.

EAT

Speaking of Ulele, we couldn’t help but return to this terrific Tampa location, steeped in the history of the city, and have some old favorites and explore new ones from the menu here.  Get the steak sandwich if you have room after the alligator hush puppies,okra fries, and chargrilled oysters! Did we mention dessert?  Yes, just get it all!  Special shoutout to Billy who gave us outstanding service and even let Tim know we were there, so he could pop over and say hello.

DRINK

We can’t go to Ulele without having one of our all-time favorite beers to kick off the 6th year of our show, the Wedding Beer.  It is described on the beer list as, “Wedding Beer – Traditional unfiltered lager infused with a light blend of natural black and red berries. Fruit balances with light malt in a delicate finish.” It is one we have to get, although the beer list is top-notch in a variety of flavors and styles, so there is something for everyone!

THAT’S A WRAP!
