With the big Florida State vs. Florida footbal game coming up next weekend, I figure now would be a good time for me to write the long overdue post about all the wonderful places to chow down in Tallahassee. For those of you who are not yet following my blog, I made my yearly trip to Tallahassee in September for the Florida State vs. Wake Forest game for my birthday. While I was there I had the opportunity to drink some beer... and eat where the Seminoles eat.
----------------------------------------------------
Monk's is a tiny little place with seating indoors & outside on the patio. It gets very busy, especially on football weekends. Arrive early as there is usually a little wait to be seated... Trust me, their burgers are worth waiting for!
Monk's serves up one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Try one of their specialty burgers like The Lip Smacker, The Panhandle, or The Gator-Hater... I chose The Panhandle Burger, topped with roasted red peppers, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, and house-made bbq sauce on a sourdough bread.
Other options are also available on the menu for the non-beef eaters. (You don't know what you're missing!)
Happy people drink beer (and wine)...
Dad & I both ordered The Panhandle Burger with a side of fries. This burger is a must have. I wish I made it up to Tallahassee more than once a year... Mom had a turkey burger (I think?) with fruit.
The food was great, but the management & staff at Monk's are outstanding. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

After watching the 'Noles blow out Wake Forest 52-0 (read all about that here), we headed to Big Easy Snowballs for a treat.
Big Easy Snowballs is located on Lake Ella at: 1621 N. Monroe St. in Tallahassee, FL. They have over 50 different flavored snowballs, and a few sugar-free flavors. You can also have your snowball topped with marshmallow fluff, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate syrup, or stuffed with french vanilla ice cream.
I had a Stuffed Tiger's Blood Snowball.

You can't make a trip to Tallahassee without going to Momo's Pizza for a slice as big as your head. I'm not kidding! Their 30" XL pizza barely fits through the door!
Momo's is located just of the FSU campus at: 1416 W. Tennessee St. in Tallahassee, FL
Their 30" XL pizza supposedly serves 8-10 people for a cost of $23.95 + $4 per topping. I smell a Man vs. Food challenge coming on!
That's all for this edition of Tallahassee Good Eats. If you have any suggestions for places to eat on my next trip to Florida State University, please leave me a comment below.
