Due to the overwhelming appeal of famous television shows, outstanding chefs have been praised for their culinary genius. This event will put Tampa Bay's prominent chefs in the limelight and will raise much needed funds for the Child Abuse Council. This is a one-of-a-kind event created in Tampa Bay and is sure to be worldwide news! Up to twenty five of Tampa Bay's premier chefs will be invited to participate in this culinary adventure. They'll bring their own ambience and excellence to the area's elite for an evening of very fine dining. Each chef designs their own menu and prepares - tableside - a five course meal with accompanying wine (or other libations) for a table of twelve people. Chefs will receive points in attempt to claim the title of

 "Top Chef of the Year Tampa Bay"

this esteemed title is awarded to the chef that raises the most money in donations/sponsorships prior to the event and with their live auction item.
