Best Bean Of The Bay

On April 22, 2010, The Art for Autism Foundation hosted the “Best Bean of the Bay” in the Galleria at USF Connect Tampa. Chefs from all over the bay area met in a head-to-head competition, cooking food and drink recipes featuring cocoa and/or coffee products! Guests had the chance to admire artwork drawn by children with Autism while tasting the best recipes in town and enjoying live jazz performances. Paired up with the extraordinary emcee talents of Tammy Levent from Elite Travel and Brandi Kamenar of Icon B. Marketing & Publicity Group, this charity event both delighted and entertained guests, while supporting a remarkable cause. Thank you to all of the restaurants who participated, and for all the community members who came out to show their support!
