๐ **Bucs training camp opens Tuesday and Baker Mayfield's contract is the story**. Mayfield set the start of camp as his deadline for an extension, and he is on the last year of a $33 million a year deal. The first practice open to the public is Thursday July 30 at 8:30 AM, with another on August 7. If you have never seen camp, the July 30 session is worth the early alarm.
๐ฅฉ **Two rooftop restaurants just opened above White Wolf in Tampa Heights**. Carnivore Club is a 28 seat wood fired chef's counter with meats dry aged in house, and Bar Spuntino is an Italian aperitivo bar with spritzes and live music. Two very different rooms on the same roof, and both are worth getting to before the crowds find them.
๐ฅ **Kaixo is coming to the former Baba space in St. Pete's Grand Central District**. The new concept from chef Andrew Duncan and sommelier Danielle McCoy is built around the food and wine of the Iberian Peninsula, with the Barra Barra pintxo bar going full time next door. Baba was a real loss, and this is a real reason to watch that block.
