The Tampa Food and WIne festival was so much fun! Lots of people The tent was packed with people from all over coming to enjoy some delicious creations from all of the chefs. Now thats a big Paella! This is a picture of the biggest Paella I have ever seen! The Main stage was pretty cool, I did a 45 minute demo and fed some of my lovely patrons. Such lovely fans After the festival I headed over to hang out with Tony Fatso from www.OnTheGrillRadio.com to talk a bit about BBQ and just foodie stuff, "On The Grill" Radio show with Tony Fatso but then on Saturday night, there was a big BBQ Party, Hey Tony!!!! (Insert Italian accent) The Beam BBQ Bash sponsored by Jim Beam. You guys know me and my BBQ.... My favorite of the night was Wild Wood BBQ. Nate and Chef Brett Reichler of Wild Wood BBQ Chef Brett Reichler is such a cool dude. One of his joints is Wild Wood BBQ on St. Pete Beach. We actually met down in Miami for the Sobe Food and Wine event. It was good to see him again and have some of his wicked BBQ. Chef Bryce Wittelsey of Chez Bryce One of my other good buddies, Chef Bryce Wittelsey, was there to. He owns Chez Bryce www.ChezBryce.com in Tampa . I had a great time!

Later,
