Ybor City Memories with Shotgun Houses
$250.00
Narrow shotgun-style homes (so called because a shot fired through the front door would theoretically exit harmlessly out of the aligned back door) were small wooden structures, but they were well-built and relatively comfortable. They were affordable for cigar workers and near the factories.
Deviled crab was originated Ybor City. The dish is traditionally made with blue crab. The seasoning uses a unique Cuban-style enchilada / sofrito sauce (locally known as "chilau") whose spiciness lends the "devil'" moniker to the dish's English name. It was developed during a cigar workers strike in the 1920s and is still popular in the Tampa area.
Many remember buying them from a man on a scooter cart – Mr. Miranda's devil crab were a real treat! Deviled crabs are still a tasty Tampa treat!
Ybor City has free-range chickens that date back more than a century. By most accounts, the wild chicken population numbers about 100.
