At times, being a vegetarian can be challenging, but especially when most of your friends and family are meat eaters.
Luckily, most of them try their best to be as mindful as possible, but for example, if they invite me out to eat, they constantly make sure they choose a steakhouse that has tons of vegetarian options; Or to keep it simple, they choose a steakhouse that they feel I like, and 1 of our favorite stadiums to eat is Columbia, here in the Tampa Bay area… It’s a Spanish and Cuban-style steakhouse and it’s the oldest steakhouse in FL.
I am obsessed with their menu, especially the black beans. And as a vegetarian, I eat beans a lot because they are a great source of protein as well as vitamins that the body needs. Anyway, not only is this the oldest steakhouse in FL, however it was also the first in the state to have an air conditioned entryway… This Tampa Bay eatery added a/c back in the 1930’s as part of a renovation of the space. And if you feel anything about the heat and humidity in the Tampa Bay area, you’ll understand why having a cool comfortable stadium to eat is pressing; Having a/c entirely added to the success of the steakhouse especially in an section prefer this, where it’s overheated for several months out of the year. Thankfully, both of us are close to the Bay, so it helps to keep the temperature cool especially while in the afternoons. Although the highest temperature in Tampa has only been 99 degrees, having cooling systems are necessary for homes as well as for steakhouses.
