The Best Restaurants in Tampa | Eater Miami

"Blackbrick is a family-run restaurant that pays homage to traditional Chinese regional cuisines with a touch of Florida flair. Hales, a Tampa native, made a name for himself in Miami before returning to Tampa to open Blackbrick. The chef traveled extensively throughout China to learn techniques before bringing them back to Florida. At Blackbrick, Hales offers traditional dishes such as whole Beijing duck, along with some new interpretations like his General Tso’s Florida gator. Blackbrick has a second location at 1809 W. Platt Street in the Hyde Park neighborhood." - Laine Doss
