A fan favorite in South Beach, the Chef Showdown is making its way to the west coast as we celebrate the Tampa Bay area's top chefs and gear up for an evening of competitive culinary cook-offs where YOU are the judge as you indulge in endless dishes and refreshing cocktails and dance the night away at what Ocean Drive Magazine coined in South Beach as the “Ultimate Beach Bash Chef Competition”. 14 chefs will battle head-to-head in seven unique showdowns. Each will host their own “battle pavilion” , where YOU will visit each battle, sample, and vote on your favorite of the two. Throughout the night, chefs from each battle will take the main stage to put on a show in their live demos as representatives from the culinary industry, including media, will serve as final judges to award the best in each showdown.

Tampa Bay’s CHEF SHOWDOWN will be hosted on the festival grounds at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. Choose your champ, Friday, April 14, at Tampa Bay’s CHEF SHOWDOWN!
