What catches your eye and appetite first when you hear about a new restaurant? Is it the menu, the chef’s reputation…or the fact they’ll deliver adult libations? Bingo! That’s one of the more unique aspects of The Kitchen at Jannus Live in St Pete. It’s not every day you have you meal covered from appetizer to dessert and the spirits to boot, but the home delivery service from The Kitchen is definitely cool and appealing. Chef Aaron Davis stopped by Kelly’s Kitchen to show off a few dishes. Click here to see. It’s a tasty menu, ranging from Lobster Fritters on the starters side, entrees like Seared Salmon and BBQ Braised Short Ribs, and a sushi menu that looks mouth-watering.  Their motto at The Kitchen is Eat! Entertain! Experience! Give it a try and check out their chef’s blog for his latest thought and creations. The bar is open extra late, so it’s a good place to chill out after a show at Jannus Live; regular hours are Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday and Saturday 11am-Midnight and Sundays 11am-10pm. There truly is no rest for the wickedly good!
