On Monday, August 26, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Legends launched the Tampa Bay Chef Series, a joint initiative that allows Bucs fans to enjoy the work of local, award-winning chefs and their unique menu creations at home games throughout the season.
All nine chefs gathered at the Lexus Club at Raymond James Stadium, offering guests an exclusive opportunity to sample signature dishes from nine of Tampa’s finest restaurants. This year’s participating chefs included Chef Ferrell Alvarez of Rooster & The Till, Chef Mike Buttacavoli of CENA, Chef Sean Brasel of Meat Market, Chef Hab Hamde of Boulon Brasserie, Chef Lee Aquino of The Birchwood, TEAK, Chef Gabe Lopez of Willa’s, Chef Susan Burdain of Society Table, Chef Gino Tello of Donatello and Chef Christina Theofilos of Psomi.
