Ceviche has just opened a new location in the spot formerly occupied by Tio Pepe's in Clearwater. The grand opening took place on Saturday, June 19, and donated all proceeds from the $20 cover charge (which included complimentary tapas and sangria) to the Children's Dream Fund. Hopefully, this location can also garner the nighttime crowds its sister locations in Tampa and Downtown St. Petersburg gather on weekend nights. Serving lunch and dinner. Ceviche- 2930 Gulf to Bay Boulevard, Clearwater. 727-799-3082; ceviche.com
Burger Monger in Carrollwood, which opened May 21, is taking a crack at the gourmet fast food market with their "upscale burgers". Made with Akaushi Wagyu beef, their burgers and hot dogs are "several grades above USDA Prime" with price tags to match the pricey meat. Burger Monger also offers chicken burgers, handcut fries from Winnemucca Farms in Nevada and add-ons like imported Brie and cherry wood smoked bacon. 10412 N. Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa. 813-968-6860; burgermonger.com
