00:00It just got real crucial.
00:17First off is Jim's Pit BBQ. Now it's not technically in Clearwater and Madeira,
00:23but we happened to stop by here on our way down and decided to give it a try.
00:26So Jim's is connected to a gas station and a convenience store as well.
00:30They do have indoor seating, but given the world we live in, this bench seems like a pretty dope option.
00:35Now my wife and I ordered the chopped pork, which came with toast.
00:39We also got beans, coleslaw, and half a chicken.
00:42On first take, all of the food looks wonderful.
00:45It looks like it's well cooked, it looks delicious, and I'm stoked to dig in.
00:51Looks like their specialty according to sign is Texas style brisket.
00:54Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the brisket because of the pandemic.
00:58They're having trouble getting the brisket.
00:59As you can tell, I've gotten a little bit into all this stuff.
01:03The sauce is good.
01:05Let me get another taste here actually.
01:10The sauce is pretty good. It's thicker. It's got a heavy tomato taste.
01:14It's got a nice smokiness to it.
01:16I can tell that, you know, with good meat, this is going to go a long way.
01:20It's going to be good.
01:22But the sauce is going to be great with the good meat.
01:24You see here they got, they chopped their pork, almost kind of sliced it, I guess, thin.
01:29You can see it's got a good smoke ring on it.
01:32And some of these pieces here.
01:35It's got a good moisture to it.
01:36I already tried it without the sauce, so I can tell you.
01:38It tastes pretty good too. It's decent.
01:43And it goes perfect with the sauce.
01:44The sauce, there's a great accent to it.
01:47Same with the chicken. I've already tried both.
01:49The chicken, it doesn't have a very heavy smoke flavor, but it's got a little smokiness to it.
01:54It's super moist. It tastes great with the sauce as well.
01:58The beans, coleslaw, they're all pretty standard beans and coleslaw, so they passed it great as well.
02:04And it came with some toast. The toast was good.
02:06I mean, really, if you're driving by, if you're on your way to the Tampa area,
02:09and you're here on whatever interstate this is, I think it's I-75 South,
02:16it's definitely worth a stop by.
02:17Gas up. They've got a gift shop inside.
02:19They've got barbecue that's definitely worth giving a try.
02:22And it wasn't too expensive. All this food was like 20 bucks.
02:2620 bucks for hard labor is not a bad deal, I don't think.
02:30So try it out, man. Jim's Pit Barbecue and Fuel.
02:33Get some gas, get some barbecue, buy a couple of gifts inside to give to your family.
02:39We got a, one day should.
02:47One day, one day, one day, one day, one day.
02:55Next up is CK's it's located directly on the South Beach in Clearwater. It was my
03:02wife's birthday so she went ahead and grabbed this beach bucket here which is
03:05delicious the fruit flavor was fantastic the pineapple is great it didn't really
03:10taste like an alcoholic drink at all it tasted like a delicious fruit cocktail.
03:16Now these beauties here this is the meal that I got this place is famous for their
03:21tacos or so the waitress claimed so I went ahead and ordered them they got the
03:25chicken the beef and the steak they came with tortilla chips and salsa and all
03:30three of these tacos were great but the steak especially was amazing it was so
03:36tender and delicious these tacos are freaking great so CK said next to their
03:42tacos their pizza was their big thing and this pizza is loaded with pepperoni and
03:47sausage now this isn't ground sausage this is like chunks of sausage and it was
03:52delicious and it's loaded with cheese just look at that cheese pool right there
03:57excellent if that's what you're looking for in your cheese then you found the
04:00right pizza for real though the pizza is wood-fired it was cooked perfectly and it
04:05was delicious and packed with flavor CK's is great you should check that out
04:22and it's so hot outside we decided to stop here at core family ice cream and I
04:27grabbed a key lime pie and a waffle cone it was delicious it was a deep rich flavor it
04:33was so good my wife ended up getting the cookies and cream cone it was also it was
04:38great but I'm definitely gonna give the edge to the key lime pie in my opinion
04:42she would probably disagree both ice creams were great now to me the sleeper of
04:49this whole trip was this key lime pie wine slush from a Florida winery this
04:54thing is delicious it was so good I love key lime pie so if it's key lime pie anything
04:59I'm probably sold on speaking of mad beach brewery we can't come to Madeira Beach and
05:04not pop in here so we started off our meal with these pulled pork nachos these
05:07nachos are piled high with cheese sour cream that's made up it's a beer crema
05:12guacamole fresh-cut jalapenos tons of pulled pork and if you notice the pattern of
05:17us getting nachos everywhere it's because we love nachos and these are great now one
05:21thing we also love about mad beach brewery is they always have new things on the
05:25menu this year is a grilled cheese bacon cheeseburger it was pretty good and
05:29overall I liked it but I think that maybe it could use some different textures in
05:34it the bacon was phenomenal is very sweet the flavor on it was great now this dish
05:40here is a buffalo chicken mac and cheese it's different than most other dishes
05:44I've seen similar to this as the chicken strip is inside the mac and cheese the
05:49flavor of both is quality and the panko breadcrumbs help not only with the
05:53flavor but the texture constantly thinking outside the box is why we love
05:58this place it's got an awesome vibe awesome food and we always make it a
06:02point to come here alright thanks guys for watching part two is coming up where
