Lunch @ The Living Room on Main

Dunedin, Florida - After all the walking, I was hankering for a good lunch and decided to have it @ The Living Room on Main.  There was not many patrons and the menu was simple.  I ordered the Porcini  Seared Mushroom burger and it was the best I have ever eaten.

Burger and coleslaw

8 oz Hereford beef patty, roasted crimini and shiitake mushrooms, black truffle mayo, herbed goat cheese, grilled onions, arugula, brioche bun.   A succulent burger - finger licking good.

Police and Military Museum

Dunedin, Florida - I spent an hour at the "National Armed Services & Law Enforcement Memorial Museum (MASLEMM) which opened at 10am.   This museum was opened on May 2002 and serves to honour the US Armed Forces and Law Enforcement through the nation's history.  Entrance fee was $5 and a war veteran was my tour guide.

Military Museum

Swords used in Civil war

The tour guide was a war veteran and he was very thorough and explained everything.   Many of the exhibits were either donated or loan to the museum.

The creator took over a year to create this replicate and donated it to the museum.

Japan war flag

This flag was the original Yamamoto's Fleet Admiral flag flown on the battleship Nagato while he was on board planning the attack on Pearl Harbour.

This is an amazing piece of art as it's made of 70lbs of paper and the submarine is 11 foot long.

Walking along Edgewater Drive

Dunedin, Florida - After breakfast, I took a nice stroll to Dunedin Marina.  Many Americans are exercising, walking and running along the water edge road.   The weather is warm but the nice sea breeze from the Gulf of Mexico was lovely.

Nice boats on the Marina

Wooden Pier

Edgewater Park

Just nearby is the Edgewater Park and they have a memorial monument.

War Plaque

This plaque read as "Dedicated to Recall in the minds of all men, those Americans who did not ask but who have repeatedly served under this country's flag to their fullest whenever the cause of freedom and democracy has been threatened anywhere in the World"

I was sweating under the hot weather....

Dinner @ Dunedin Smokehouse

Dunedin, Florida - I checked the map and saw this restaurant that serves pork ribs on Main Street.  The Dunedin Smokehouse was crowded but the waiter found a nice spot for me.

St Louis Ribs

I ordered the slow-smoked St Louis ribs and did not realised that it was blackened until it was served to me.   First time eating so blackened piece of meat - it's BBQ to the extreme with lots of carcinogens.  Well had to try once and it really tasted very good.  The fries were excellent too.  This was a really good but unhealthy meal for me.

Caesar Salad

The Caesar salads with generous toppings of cheese and bread crumbs.  Both of which I scrapped a side and ate the delicious fresh vegetables.

Dinner @ Casa Tina's

Dunedin, Florida - I walked along Main Street and came across this Mexican restaurant - Casa Tina's which served very authentic Mexican food.   It was only Wednesday and the restaurant was packed with customers but the waitress manage to find a table for me.   I had Beef Burritos and it is a reasonable portion.

Beef Burrito

The Beef Burrito tasted very good with the juicy and tender beef within.  The rice served with black beans was also very tasty.  I finished the whole plate.

Vietnamese food again....

Clearwater, Florida - I just had to try the Basil Fusion Bistro's Ban Mi.

Ban Mi

I tasted the Ban Mi and it tasted so good then I remember, oops I had to take a pic of this meal.  So that's half of what's left of the full loaf.  The beef was tender but it does not have as much sauces within as in Vietnam.

Dinner @ Lucky Lobster Co

Dunedin, Florida - A very short walk from my hotel is a Lobster house called Lucky Lobster Co.  It was quiet on a Tuesday night and on the menu I ordered a Lobster Pot Pie.   The waiter could not explained what this dish is too but I ordered it nevertheless.

Lobster Pot Pic

It is a pie with a french crust on top and it was tasty but little pieces of Lobster in the creamy pie.
