Tampa, FL - The new Hard Rock Cafe opens tomorrow, December 21st just in time for the final holiday push and New Years Eve. Our Metromix team got to check out the new restaurant during its "Media Day" event. Check out a sneak peak of the new restaurant at Metromix.com.

The 17,500 sq. ft. Hard Rock Cafe Tampa is located in the northwest corner of the casino complex. The Cafe features a new outdoor patio and bar. The cafe will also have three state-of-the-art technology features where guests can interact with memorabilia from Hard Rock International’s world-renowned collection of rock ‘n roll memorabilia.

Tampa, Florida - A line of hungry customers lining up outside your restaurant is a really good sign that you are doing something right. From 11 a.m. until about 1 p.m. that's what you will find. The good news is that the line moves fast.

First Choice Southern BBQ, owned by Roger Storr, has created a loyal following after producing top notch barbecue for the past 18 years. Try some Smoked Pork, Ribs or Chicken with a side of Collard Greens or spicy Mac and Cheese.

The sauce is as important as the meat, and both are outstanding. Storr is the only person who knows what goes into the sauce. His customers want him to start selling it by the bottle, but he say's that he is not in the sauce business, he's in the bar-b-que business.

First Choice BBQ has two locations:

10113 Adamo Dr., Tampa
