<\/a><\/p>\n

We all have those Tampa restaurants on our list we keep meaning to cross the bridge and try. This seems to be the year that we\u2019re getting lucky and so many of our bucket list spots are coming to us instead. They must have gotten tired of waiting.<\/p>\n

Cheeky\u2019s in the Grand Central District has been at the forefront of the movement, and they\u2019re going big again with a Bastille Day collab with Tampa\u2019s French star Bar Terroir. Hosted at Cheeky\u2019s, the one-night-only crossover event\u2019s menu will meet in the middle of the two restaurants, with a seafood-forward experience built around the summertime flavors of the Southern French coast.<\/p>\n

The special dinner takes place on Tuesday, July 14, which is Bastille Day proper, the French holiday celebrating the storming of Bastille and the start of the French Revolution. Tickets are $10 and seating times are available here<\/a>. The ticket costs go to support Feeding Tampa Bay, and guests can then order from the specialty menu. If either France or U.S.A. are in the World Cup that afternoon, they will open at 3 pm ahead of the dinner. <\/p>\n

Bar Terroir is a relative newcomer in Tampa\u2019s dining scene, but it became an immediate star after opening last summer. The space is an homage to the classic French bistro and it has been a favorite of the team at our sister site That\u2019s So Tampa. Led by a Michelin-Starred team of chefs (Tastes Pretty Good Hospitality Group is also behind Rocca in Tampa), they\u2019ve quickly earned a sterling reputation. Now, we get them for a night in St. Pete without having to leave the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Cheeky\u2019s Executive Chef Philip Cleary and Bar Terroir\u2019s Chef de Cuisine Max McKee collaborated to create the special menu, \u201cblending French bistro classics with Gulf Coast seafood and raw bar favorites,\u201d as well as special wines and cocktails to pair with the dining menu.<\/p>\n

Highlights from the Bastille Day menu include:<\/p>\n

Beausoleil Oysters & Seafood Tower\u00a0featuring Beausoleil oysters\u00a0with rose granita, pickled pear & fresh horseradish; clams\u00a0with Bloody Mary mignonette; tuna tartare; and shrimp cocktail\u00a0with sumac cocktail sauce<\/p>\n

Cheeky\u2019s also had collaborations with Tampa\u2019s Lucky Tigre (one of my personal favorites in Tampa) and Supernatural Food & Wine, which was just featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives this spring. The crossovers are natural, with Cheeky\u2019s owner Nate Siegel having cut his teeth in Tampa\u2019s hospitality scene. Now that he\u2019s in St. Pete, he\u2019s inviting his friends to join him, while the rest of us get to reap (and eat) the rewards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been friends with the team at Tastes Pretty Good Hospitality Group for years, and we opened our restaurants right around the same time,\u201d Siegel said in a release. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to throw a great party and collaborate with the Bar Terroir team on a killer menu inspired by their French roots and our seafood favorites here in St. Pete!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t wait to toast our friends out in St. Pete and celebrate Bastille Day with the Cheeky\u2019s team,\u201d McKee added. \u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to cooking alongside them. Cheeky\u2019s has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in St. Pete. The opportunity to showcase our French-inspired menu at such a cool space alongside some of the industry\u2019s most talented people is incredibly exciting.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We all have those Tampa restaurants on our list we keep meaning to cross the bridge and try.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-324576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
