ABOUT US Mark McDonald, Owner & Chef Mark McDonald has worked in the food service industry ever since he was 16 years old in Pittsburgh, PA. Mark’s formal training was at the Culinary Institute of America in Poughkeepsie, NY. Mark did his externship at the Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, FL. After graduating in 1984 Mark moved to Tampa and worked as a chef at the Guest Quarters Hotel for two years. Subsequently Mark worked at Publix in the Bakery for 7 years. He also worked with several catering companies in Tampa, including Joan’s Catering and Mise en Place. Mark always knew he would start his own business one day. Then, in 2001 Mark leased the location in Northdale and created a menu of his favorite foods from his past experiences. Brianna’s Fine Foods opened in March 2002 and has been going strong ever since with word-of-mouth being the best advertising. Jackie McDonald, Managing Assitant Jackie McDonald, Mark’s wife, has Brianna’s Fine Foods to thank for her venture into the food service industry. With Mark's excellent direction, Jackie hit the ground running nine years ago. She works side-by-side with Mark to create the many menu items as well as specialty baked goods, party trays, platters and catering events. Jackie also assists with handling all aspects of the business from customer-relations to computer work creating the menus, signs and keeping the website updated.

Through your donation and donations of the golfers that participated, the Van Dyke Men's ministry was able to raise over $7,000 for the Suncoast Kid's Place ministry at Van Dyke Church. These funds will enable the expansion of our program that touches the lives of at risk children and teens in our area that have experienced the loss of a loved one. We certainly appreciate your support of this ministry event." - Cheryl J., Program Director, Suncoast Kid's Place "It has been our good luck to have discovered Brianna's shortly after the owners, Jackie and Mark, opened. Aside from being very nice, personable and friendly, they put out consistently fresh and tasty good food of every sort. Everything is excellent! My favorites are the Tuscan Bean soup and their Philadelphia Cheesesteacks. I'm not talking good. I'm talking GREAT! ....possibly GREATEST!" - Mike and Suzi M., Tampa "Our company used Brianna's Fine Foods for a week of executive management meetings with CEO's from all over the world attending. Brianna's is wonderful! The service is outstanding, the food is delicious and the presentation is very nice. We had guests with special diet requirements and Brianna's took care of everything. We even requested food items not on their menu and they provided them with no problems. Everything from service to food was exceptional. We will use them again and again for our catering needs." - Jenna J., Tampa "I have been going to Brianna's for the past 8 years and NEVER once have I or my family been disappointed in what we ordered. Jackie ALWAYS serves you with a smile and makes you feel like family as does Mark when he gets a moment to pull away from all that fabulous food he is making. I love that everything is open and you are able to see that the food prep area is ALWAYS spotless. This is some place you have to try out!!! The sandwiches are ALL phenomenal and would make any office staff or your family happy to have them brought home... My favorite the chicken salad as far as cold sandwiches go and the Philly Cheese for Hot sandwich... But trust me my family and I have tried EVERYTHING there and once again I will say it is ALL ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! " - Tammy C., Tampa "Brianna's is always fresh and friendly! Their cheesesteaks are comprable to Philadelphia's! Chef Salad is excellent too." - Linda P., Tampa "Wonderful! I definitely recommend Brianna's! Especially around the holidays! " - ACL, Tampa "Just a short note to let you know that all of us (my wife, mother-in-law and myself) agree that your Philly Steak is the BEST. I've lived in Florida for 20 years but for 46 years I was raised on Philly Steaks and nothing has come close except for your Philly Steak. We are looking forward to tasting some of your great dinners." - Bob M., Tampa "Definitely Northdale's best kept secret! Food is super-fresh and cooked when ordered. Best bet to call ahead to avoid a wait. Excellent Philly and Chicken Salad, too. They use only Boar's Head in sandwiches and also sell Boar's Head by the pound. They also do custom-made dinners Monday-Fridays--just like Mom used to make! Check them out! " - Guest, Tampa "I just wanted to tell you how delicious the steak sandwiches were! Speaking truthfully here they are far better than the Philadelphia famous Pat's steaks and Philadelphia's famous Gino steaks. You got them beat by far! The roll is just WOW! Those two steak places in Phila have been in business for decades! Yours is the finest!!! Oh my the cake as well just delicious!! Fixed us a big ole whooming piece last nite! Oxiboriosly delicious! More people need to discover Brianna's! Thanks again for being my favorite gourmet food stop!! " - Susan Y., Odessa "We would like to express our appreciation for an absolutely wonderful meal. We ordered chicken piccata for our 18th anniversary, and because my husband has high blood pressure, I asked for it to be prepared low-salt. Well, let me tell you, had I not known the meal was low-salt, I would never have guessed--everything was so tasty! ... Not only was your meal a hit with my husband and me, our three children loved the chicken and veggies and especially your roasted potatoes. Also your portions were very generous, and I'm glad Jackie warned me, because I ordered three full servings, and there was plenty there for a family of five! The chicken piccata itself was tender and sauced perfectly. The veggies were colorful and flavorful, even without salt. The roasted potatoes were amazing, and the parsley gave them a nice flavor; it was no surprise that they went first. The big surprise was the salad. I opened the top expecting the average colorless iceberg lettuce found in most restaurants. No way, this was a beautiful, fresh colorful salad; the homemade vinaigrette was superb and the croutons were a perfect touch. Thank you so much for the attention and care you gave our meal. We will happily recommend your catering to my friends; your food is out of this world! " - Jeannie H., Tampa "Thank you for the outstanding food & service we received from Brianna's for our sons' Mother's Day Baptism celebration! We were so pleased with the quality of everything we ordered, and our guests were duly impressed, and kept asking us, "Where did you get this food? Everything tastes and looks fantastic!" It was all delicious, fresh and the presentation was lovely, too. Your ears must have been burning Sunday afternoon; we told our guests all about your restaurant, and what a pleasure it was to work with you. The chicken salad was packed with all white meat and lived up to its reputation as "the best in town". The mini crab cakes were the perfect size and tasted just right. My husband is a huge crab cake fan, and he loved them. Even the cocktail sauce was delicious. The shrimp "lollipops" had just enough kick and were presented in a fun way, and the marinated grilled vegetables exceeded our expectations! The fruit skewers were a big hit, particularly among the children, as expected. The fruit was fresh and ripe and the presentation was perfect! The egg salad was very fresh, although it was a little less salty than I like it. Our children enjoyed it though. The platters were plentiful, with just the right amount of leftovers, but not too much. ... The lamb cookies were a HUGE hit among the children there, as expected! Nothing beats a great, iced sugar cookie, especially when it is in a fun shape. And the cake was perfect! It was beautifully decorated, with delicious butter cream icing. It was light and airy, with just the right amount of sugar. The chocolate cake inside was perfectly moist, but not overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. One guest commented that it was so good because it had the perfect "cake-to-icing-ratio" which I wholeheartedly agreed with!! We will surely become one of your cake loyalists. It was a perfect cake for the occasion. Thank you for making our gathering a huge success. We will wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone who asks! " - Lisa K., Lutz "Our 40th Anniversary party was extra-ordinarily special because of you two. Because of the chef'ing and the service! Because you took the time to come over--after a long day--and share our good fortune. So folks, we can only say thank you, and hope that you understand the feelings, which are deep felt. Thank you. " - Mike & Merrianne F., Lutz "We want to thank you so much for your donation of bread for our Shepherd's Way Food Pantry. It was brought in on Tuesday and it was given out that day to our food pantry recipients. Our food pantry is open on Tuesdays, every other week, and we have served hundreds of families in our community. All donations are much appreciated. " - Forest Hills United Methodist Church, Tampa "My local spot light in this issue of the "Country Place Newsletter" goes to Brianna's Fine Foods. This little heaven of a shop is tucked back in the heart of Northdale, at the corner of Wilcox/Newkirk and Northdale Blvd. I thought that they were just a deli but boy was I wrong; Brianna's is so much more. Brianna's Fine Foods offers everything from deli favorites--like sliced meats, sandwiches, and party trays--to mouth-watering breakfasts, even dinner entrees, like Pecan-Crusted Tilapia. They also have amazing delights for your sweet tooth, like cakes and other desserts. The prices at Brianna's Fine Foods are right and the portions are huge, which in my book makes them a perfect restaurant....
