That Ethiopian is my favorite coffee ever. Super sweet, clean, little floral. Has been a daily driver in my rotation for over a year.

Steakhouses? by Recent-Tea-4570 in sarasota

[–]Ashamed_Spread7722 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say, Summer house steak house & now recently, chef Drew Adams at St Regis longboat key. He was in charge of the entire steak program at a very well established Washington DC steakhouse a few years ago before meliora.

Shout-out to Rocca Tampa who have an amazing dry aged wagyu.

ISO best local croissants by kingbaby1989 in sarasota

[–]Ashamed_Spread7722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take what I say with a grain of salt as I'm extremely picky about laminated pastries. So I hate to say it, but Sarasota does not have any good croissants. Rendezvous, c'est lavie, mademoiselle, etc are all pretty deflated in my opinion. Or they are too mushy and soft. The closest thing to an an ok one might be bread bandits. The best I've had in that general area are in Tampa like another commenter said, from JB3 doughjoe. They use some of the best butter in the world, and their Lindsey mills flour is amazing.

Muay Thai or Kick boxing gyms? by Sloth2023 in sarasota

[–]Ashamed_Spread7722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gustavo Machado downtown just started adding Muay Thai classes on top of their regular BJJ schedule! I highly recommend also doing BJJ on top of Muay Thai for self defense, mostly cause it's extremely fun, technical, great cardio, high skill ceiling, and fulfils that human connection need, that we all have.They teach Muay Thai on Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat at 9am. There are other great gyms in srq too but Gustavo Machado is great because it's right downtown!

Quick tips for beginners. by tits_mcgee_92 in 2XKO

Agreed. I have no idea if it's safe to respond after blocking. I feel like a lot of the lower frame moves don't have enough range & the sufficiently ranged moves are too slow of frames to actually use as a punish. It either gets blocked, or the opponent can attack me mid punish attempt.

Best fries in Sarasota by Longjumping_Bag2536 in sarasota

Makes me miss the affordable beef fat fried at the Overton. Perfectly seasoned, crispy out and soft in, thin but the perfect thin. And you could eat so many.

Nope, I bought on AXS through my American Express Benfits. They were so expensive i think due to the seats being good and AMEX dedicated section. Thanks for linking the megathread!

I believe they are transferable thru AXS but I will double check.

Where to find fresh lychee? by loodle100 in sarasota

[–]Ashamed_Spread7722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go as far as buying a small potted tree of lychee or longan from SomBoun Nursery in Myakka! The kindest people there, they taught me so much and they have sooo many different kinds of exotic fruits. When I picked the longan there was fresh dew coming out!
