NEW IN TOWN
Pappas' Grillmarks (607 Clearwater-Largo Road, Largo; (727) 584-6235) reopened this week with new name, expanded menu at the 26-year Largo landmark. Founders George and Ginny and son Nick are still there; new grill and rotisserie crank out roast chicken, grilled finfish and steaks, as well as Greek.

The Restaurant Row of Outback partners, near Tampa airport, kicked off this week with Euro-Asian cooking from PBS star and Hawaiian superchef Roy Yamaguchi.

Veteran Pinellas steak wrangler Bob Spoto aims to open a second Steak Joynt Oct. 30 at former Madkof's. New Joynt (1280 Main St., Dunedin; (727) 734-0008) will have same steaks, prime rib, ribs and seafood as St. Petersburg location; most entrees $12.95 to $16.95.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH ...
Up-selling bottled water in restaurants. Why pay the mark-up to look European? I'll take what the locals are having from the tap . . . unless they have those Italian bottles with the miner on the front. Molto hip.
