I love driving to Tampa from One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment. Sometimes I get to consult with clients in the area and stay at my favorite hotel. It’s a smooth ride between Tampa and Orlando’s One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and we tend to sell a lot of used restaurant equipment to Tampa restaurant, bar and grill dealers due to our low prices, free delivery and huge selection.
When I think of famous folks from Tampa the obvious current name is Hogan, but I was quite surprised at the big names on this list once compiling it. Who knew Gallagher was from Tampa? Beyond entertainers there is professional athletes and a politician or two. Who knew?
Look for more to come about Gallagher on the Frog’s site. Gallagher is seriously an interesting man from his time in Bill and Ted’s Most Excellent Adventure with Keanu Reeves to current stand up circuit, you can’t go wrong with a little Gallagher in your life!
One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment encourages you to enjoy the list of famous Tampa Residents we have compiled. Talk about it with your neighbors, find out where they live and stalk them… just kidding.
