Thanks to Rachel H, who is part of the design team at CookingSchools.net, who submitted the image below.  She and her team created the graphic below that highlights a few health benefits the popular hot sauce can provide.

I know many people who use Sriracha on oysters so I was glad to post this for Rachel.

Mise en Place, Tampa, FL

By Rand Hoch, Travel Editor



While visiting old friends in Tampa last weekend, we dined at one of our favorite restaurants -- Mise en Place. 

We were pleased to see oysters on the menu, especially since the featured oysters were Connecticut Blue Points. 

The mildly salty oysters were offered three on a plate, served with a Blood Orange pink peppercorn mignonette in the shells' cups for $10.25.  This turned out to be a great modern twist for a classic oyster.
