Tampa Bay Food Fight 2023 hosted by Seminole Hard Rock Tampa did not disappoint!!!! Team ST. PETE dominated in the most fun and awesome culinary competition here in Tampa Bay. This is our 5th year photographing this event and every year it’s so cool to see how many people and businesses come out to support and donating to Metropolitan Ministries Culinary Program. The food, the people, and the energy is always amazing to be a part of.

Team St. Pete chefs were from: Caps St. Pete - Social Roost - Ray’s Baseball - Levy Restaurant - The Birchwood - Birch and Vine - Teak St. Pete - and Wild Child St. Pete.

The co-hosts were Haley Hinds and Chris Cato from Fox 13, Chef Jeff Philbin commented on the skills competition, and Geoff Cowan from Alpert Enterprises was back as auctioneer and Tony Merch from Pay It Backward was honorary chairmen. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Food Fight without Tampa’s own Thaddeus Bullard AKA Titus O’Neil announcing the winners along with Raymond, Captain Fear, and Pete the Pelican.
