OUR RUNNING (EATING) BLOG
Keep up with us during the season with our Blog presented by Racing Electronics
Our Deck Down Under
Best Seafood around and great atmosphere. THIS IS THE PLACE! Everyone knows and everyone goes! Enjoy peel n' eat Shrimp under the Port Orange Bridge. Fried Seafood platters are the best around. MD's favorite. Why? It's fresh seafood and not a ritzy atmosphere.
78 Dunlawton Avenue
Port Orange, FL

The Brickyard
Best Burger in town and in an awesome building just minutes from DIS on International Speedway Blvd. Television's Perrin brothers (Patrick and Scotty) have hyped this local eatery for obvious reasons. Oh, it's the big triangle building in case you didn't know! JJ Yeley was there when we tried this local legend in February.

The Garlic
The name says it all. If you are a vampire, do not enter. If you love great Italian food, it's a Daytona area MUST. Enjoy heaping plates of great italian food in a quaint atmosphere.
Try the Spuntitori Italiano, aka... the Big Bowl of Meat. It's a favorite if Racing Electronic's Kevin Hughes.
Spotter Frank Bolter went to the place for the first time after seeing the Speedeats video in February and loved the place. "I had the Bocce Ball (giant meatball) and it was amazing," said Frank. "It might be my all-time favorite place to eat on the road."

Racing's North Turn
The food is good, the ocean-front deck is breathtaking, and the racing history is tops. It's a mini Hall of Fame of NASCAR and Daytona Beach Racing. In two-trips during 2010 Speedweeks we saw Cotton Owens dining and listening to his grandson play live music as well as Legends Bobby and Donnie Allison eating the restaurant that stands at the original North Turn of the Beach Course.
MD says get the Mad Marion Melt, named after beach racer and racing folk legend Mad Marion MacDonald.

KANSAS .... MD vs. Monster Tenderloin
Paola, KS is home of one heck of a Tenderloin Sandwich. Watch MD take it on!
DAYTONA
FOODIE CORNER
It's Daytona time! The July Race in Daytona provides a unique challenge for Racing Foodies. The Challenge? When to eat?
Lunch is the best bet with all of the action happening at night at Daytona. For lunch options... we say first to go sit out on the water and enjoy some seafood at Our Deck Down Under. Another day, it is crucial to hit Brickyard for a burger. No excuses... it's on the way to the track for most!
Ashley and Jess from Ontario, Canada sent us this photos giving Frosty Joey's near Michigan Int'l Speedway four thumbs up!
