TAMPA, Fla. — Did someone say "Food Fight"?!
On Feb. 11 at Amalie Arena, the top chefs in Tampa Bay will do a culinary battle onstage — St. Pete vs. Tampa — while 40 area restaurants (including Mowgli's Tiffin, Teak, Eddie V's and Haven) will feed foodie fans.
And guess what? You're invited!
The charity event will benefit Metropolitan Ministries and their job training programs for people in need. Last year's "Tampa Bay Food Fight" raised $300,000 for the nonprofit; the goal is $400,000 for this year.
Tickets start at $100 and include food, entertainment and craft cocktails. Iron Chef star Geoffrey Zakarian will also make an appearance, signing copies of his new book.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
