The NoHo Bistro will start doing brunch on Sunday, Oct. 14 which, by itself, is news of a sort. That section of Tampa is a bit starved for decent restaurants, especially since NoHo's neighbor Vivia's closed earlier this year. But brunch? Not terribly exciting.

Unless you have a "southern grits bar". I can imagine a burbling pot of engorged cornmeal surrounded by bowls of butter, cheese, chili, sausage, peppers and onions, with fruit and sugar for the sweet fans. Maybe even shrimp. I'm salivating.

Blueberry-cinammon sausage and fruit sushi also sound intriguing, but only in small portions. More room for grits.

UPDATE: A copy of the first menu is after the break.
