Zane Lamprey (better known for his travel TV show Three Sheets) recently visited four spots in the Tampa Bay area to showcase the libations that have made them famous for an upcoming episode of his new show, Drinking Made Easy — a booze road trip of sorts where Lamprey and his drinking buddy, Steve McKenna, as travel this great nation, "in search of the local drinks and drinking customs that have contributed to the birth, growth and distinction of our great country."
In the episode, Zane visits Tampa favorite Cigar City Brewing for a pint, scouts out the original Hooters location in Clearwater for an "Orange Shorts Margarita", samples the "Bloody Gazpacho" at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor and sips on a "Blue Blazer" at Mandarin Hide in Downtown St. Pete.
