But today...today is FOOD DAY! This celebration of good food has sparked a nationwide movement! And here in Tampa Bay area there are two awesome ways to celebrate! On Tampa side you can check out the film Urban Roots being presented by Tampa Urban Food Forum and Going Green Tampa Bay down at the Roosevelt 2.0. If you're over in St. Pete check out the showing of FRESH being presented by your very own Slow Food Tampa Bay at the Studio@620 and get a coupon for a free burrito! Check out our event page for more details!
Also...if you happen to need to do some food shopping cuz you didn't get everything you needed at market this weekend, a little birdie tells me that you can support the good folks over at Sweetwater Farm by shopping at the Tampa Whole Foods today!
Eat well all and have a great Food Day!
After you're done stuffing your face full of food truck deliciousness...you can have a very veggie time at the Planter's Ball!
Sweetwater Farm's market doesn't start up again until Nov 6th, but you can come out to support them tomorrow night! And get an early start on Food Day!
