TASTE & SEE “TASTECASTING” EVENT TO HELP SAVE THE TORTILLAS

July 16th, 2009 |

I love to support both Tampa businesses and social media. And I love food. So when I found out about TasteCasting, I jumped at the chance to be a part of it. Then it got even better when TasteCasting joined the “Save the Toritillas” campaign.

I am planning on attending the July 22, event and I wanted to pass along the the press release that was released today. Please check it out and consider coming.

Be We!!

Local Chefs & Foodies Host A Tampa Tortilla Extravaganza

July 22, 2009

TAMPA, Fla. – July 16, 2009 – Next Wednesday, July 22, chefs and foodies from throughout the Tampa Bay area will come together for a special Tastecasting™ event in support of the “Save The Tortillas” movement. From 7 to 9 p.m. they will gather at La Bonita Ole, 5804 East Columbus Drive in Tampa. The public is invited to join them from 7 to 8 p.m. by responding to melanieb@tamxicos.com.

At Wednesday night’s event, guests are invited to tour the production facility where they will experience how the tortillas are made, and have an opportunity to taste them freshly baked. They will also have a chance to meet the woman behind the tortillas, “Taco Tammy”, hear her story, and see why so many have gotten behind the charge to Save The Tortillas.

From 8-9 p.m. (for registered TasteCasters only, though media are welcome) TasteCasting^TMteam members will enjoy Mexican Lasagna and Crawfish Enchiladas that the chefs will be creating using Tam-x-ico’s and Wrap-itz tortilla products. The chefs will also be sharing their favorite tortilla recipes, which will be published on the Save The Tortillas blog http://savethetortillas.com. The recipes will also be shared on other social media sites to inspire people to creatively cook with tortillas.

La Bonita Ole is located off of I4 Exit 3, at 5804 E. Columbus Dr., (East of 50^th Street) Tampa, FL 33619-1643; Phone 813-254-1450.
