Orlando & The Freakshow

Hungry Brunch Lovers Excited About Tampa’s Sparkling New Option

Author Orlando
Crab Benedict is a welcomed favorite at Predalina on Cumberland Ave, downtown Tampa

Tampa’s sparkling new brunch option is a picturesque spot called Predalina on downtown’s Cumberland Ave.  The vibe in this restaurant was incredible this past weekend.  With a birthday brunch of 12+ people, the staff handled our hungry souls like seasoned professionals.  That might be because this space comes from Oxford Commons, the people who of course have made Oxford Exchange such a success.  The light color scheme and roman feel of the arches, makes it feel regal.  Yet with large, center bar, that was bustling for all 3 hours that I was there, this space is for food and fun but not fluff.  Describing the vibe may be a bit unnerving but it felt very South Beach.  A DJ on-site, mixing beats loud enough to enjoy but easy enough for conversations to thrive.  Can’t have brunch without conversation.  This full fledged eatery is perfect for a nice dinner or lunch but Predalina has hungry brunch lovers excited about Tampa’s sparkling, new option.

The Word Brunch Means…Let’s Eat

It’s called “seafood-driven Mediterranean cuisine” and our table had a little bit of everything.  Visiting yourself is key but if you’re trusting my tastes the yellowfin tuna was a home-run. Oysters on the half shell landed on both ends of the table, minus the kaluga caviar which is always an option.  The table antics started with their crudite’ & pita, which arrived with various hummus offerings.  Note the orange colored choice was tops.  Now because I’m a keto headache to most eateries, I appreciated their care for my enjoyment. The Predalina burger with their insanely tasty, crispy brussels was the business.  It has whipped feta as a base and is touched with lemon honey vinaigrette.  Crab benedict was also a people pleaser during the birthday celebration.  Sunday brunch is a lifestyle and when done correctly, you can head back to life with strength to continue.  Predalina has hungry brunch lovers excited about Tampa’s sparkling new option because it did just that.  Helped me handle the rest of the day.

Sexy Above 60 List

This Sexy above 60 list is simply because I’ve been ridiculed about my love for Dame Helen Mirren for years.  Every movie that she’s in, she oozes sexuality and comfort to me.  People laugh constantly.  You know who they’re not laughing at?  50 Cent.  Yeah, same one you’re thinking of.  Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, in Men’s Health magazine admitted his love for the 78 year old Oscar winner as well.  You can read his opinion here but to quote Fif; “She’s sexy. She’ll look at you, and you go, “Oh s__t!’ I don’t care how old she get…she’s sexy.”  Now I don’t think he’s gonna get clowned for his appreciation but it made me think deeper.  How many ladies am I hot and heavy for, are sexy above 60?

This List Could Easily Be Called “They Can Still Get It”

Listen, if you’ve heard Orlando and the Freakshow, you know that we don’t hold back.  We speak freely and I’m saying it.  There is not a woman on this Sexy Above 60 list that I would not walk in Council Oak with for dinner.  You could find me at the Straz with any of these ladies and I bet we’d get a break on the tickets with our AARP discount.  This list has singers, models, actresses, and one who’s gone from a bikini model to a mogul worth over $500 million dollars.  If you are over 60, welcome to the sexy club.”  Age ain’t nothing but a number isn’t just for the story of Aaliyah.  I’m in love 12 times, although you will learn that I’ve had a crush on one since I was 17 years old.  Much longer than Dame Helen.  It’ll be our secret, so don’t tell her.  Enjoy the sights of the Sexy Above 60 List
