BAJA'S SOUTHERN STYLE COOKING AND CATERING – American
Two faces, one kitchen: a 49th Street South storefront in St. Petersburg and a food trailer that caters across the bay. The cooking is old-school soul — smothered chicken, baked chicken, turkey wings, pork chops, meatloaf, gizzards, fried chicken by dark or white meat, and a stuffed salmon that reads like the house showpiece. Handhelds include a shrimp po-boy, fried catfish sandwich, Philly cheesesteak and the Big G burger. Midweek and Friday specials turn to pasta with loaded seafood, steak and shrimp, or lobster. Salads come topped with jerk chicken or salmon. Lunch through early evening, Tuesday to Friday only.
