Top Chef of the Year Tampa Bay Event Details

This event gives chefs complete freedom to create a dining experience like no other. Top Chef of the Year Tampa Bay encourages chefs to channel their inner creativity to design everything from menu to decor. Each chef prepares - tableside - a five course meal with accompanying wines (or other libations) for a table of 12 people. Chefs also provide their own linens, china, centerpieces and more to create a world within the venue specific to each chef's unique vision.

The highlight of the evening takes place when the coveted Top Chef of the Year Tampa Bay Awards are announced. Participating chefs have three chances to take home a prestigious title the night of the event. The first award, "Top Chef of the Year Tampa Bay" goes to the chef who scores the highest overall average on their courses they prepared for guests that evening. "Top Philanthropic Chef of the Year" is awarded to the chef that raises the most money through sponsorships and live auction items for Champions for Children. The last award is for "Best Table Decor", which awards the chef and restaurant for having the most creative and visually appealing table the night of the event.  

All funds raised from this event will directly benefit Champions for Children, its services and programs.
