TAMPA — Following in the footsteps of Shake Shack and BellaBrava, another prominent restaurant brand has leased space at Midtown Tampa, the city’s new 23-acre, $500 million mixed-use development.

According to a news release, Phoenix-based True Food Kitchen plans to open its fifth restaurant in Florida — and 40th overall — Feb. 28. As it gears up for its grand opening, the seasonally inspired restaurant is holding a job fair over the next three weeks to fill more than 130 positions, ranging from servers and bartenders to hostesses, chefs, cooks and dishwashers.
