“Diner 24 DTSP” Opening in Fuego Location late-March 2017

Downtown St. Pete Gets Its' First 24-Hour Diner

UPDATE MAY 16, 2017: BUSINESS IS CLOSED.

Ken Collazo, the owner of Fuego Lounge, just shut down the restaurant on Saturday, February 4th to start renovations to open his 24-hour diner in the same space.

Diner 24 DTSP is expected to open in late-March. They will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with over 200 items on the menu, and you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime you want.

The space will be redesigned to look like a retro, art deco, 1960s diner with neon and chrome. There will be ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, waffles, pancakes, eggs, burgers, etc.

A few other food items will include; shepherd's pie, steaks, chops, fish & chips, chicken wings, and much more.

Think 60s Diner Meets Oxford Exchange

Since the space is so large with a second floor and different rooms, Diner 24 DTSP will also have similarities to Oxford Exchange in Tampa.

There will be two large meeting rooms upstairs currently dubbed "The Boardroom" where you can have lunch meetings while showing PowerPoint presentations, for example.

There's a separate room downstairs that will be designated a "quiet room" where you can read, work, or study.

The location, across from Williams Park, has been experiencing a slow, but steady "clean-up". The closing of the bus stop, increased police presence, and even other new businesses opening, like The Galley around the corner, has helped spruce up the neighborhood. There is also a new restaurant buildout happening on the corner where the Krispy Chicken place used to be.

I've always loved cooking. When I was 6-years old I wanted to cook. When my mom said that she was just running to the neighbor's and would be right back, I climbed onto the kitchen counter and found Lipton Instant French Onion Soup Mix. By the time my mom returned, I was stirring the pot on the stove, and proclaimed; "Look Mom! I'm cooking!"

In High School, I took three different cooking classes and got an A in each. After getting my first apartment, I used to cook 5-nights a week, and go out two nights. An old girlfriend from decades ago had a brother-in-law that was a CEO of a trucking company, and he used to entertain in Manhattan quite a bit ... and he started taking us along.

This was when I learned about gourmet food and fine wine. For a couple of years, Lori and I went out about 4-5 nights a week, but now we have a better balance of 50/50 between cooking at home, and going out to the amazing restaurants we are so lucky to have in our beloved Downtown St. Petersburg.

    Please send me the correct email for applying for jobs. I would like to send students from Tomlinson Adult Learning Center where I run the Career Lab. I tried E-Diner24DTSP@gmail.com as it said on the window but it didn't work. Thank you.

    Was excited to hear of their opening on Friday for Tampa Bay's Blues Fest weekend. Went there last night with four other friends around 1:30am but was disappointed upon entry to be told by the hostess that the cook had food poisoning and there wasn't anyone available to cook. Not a good way to start off your grand opening.
