Boca Raton’s Favorite College Football Spirit Night Will Serve Up
“Food, Fun and Fundraising” with Creative Tailgate-Inspired Originals by 25+ Area Chefs.

BOCA RATON , FL, USA, October 5, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — An impressive roster of 25+ top local chefs, breweries and cocktail masters are bringing their A-game to triumph at the annual ABC Supply RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl Great Chefs Tailgate Showcase, presented by Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC) and CP Group, on Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (with an alternate rain date the next day, Thursday, Nov. 9). The popular “food, fun and fundraising” event, featuring a diverse bounty of creative culinary, craft beer and cocktail samplings, will be held in true outdoor tailgate tradition once again on the lawn at BRiC. Located lakeside, the campus is at 5000 T-Rex Avenue, Boca Raton, FL (entering through the main entry sign on Yamato Road east of Military Trail) with plenty of free parking.

Top chefs from local restaurants, country clubs, hotels, and catering services as well as brewery and mixology pros will bring their culinary and beverage creativity to please the palates of event-goers and a panel of “foodie” judges. Aiming to score big in the friendly competition, the culinary and libation masters will present their original takes on tailgate fare, ranging from sides and entrees to beverages and desserts. At the end of the event, foodie media personalities and bloggers will huddle at the judges’ table to select winners in various categories, including “most spirited station décor.” Guests will cast their votes for the

“People’s Choice” designation.

For this high-spirited, one-of-a-kind pride-rallying evening, guests are encouraged to wear their alma mater or favorite college team’s colors and jerseys. Eventgoers will mix and mingle with fellow college football fans and community partners, along with ESPN 106.3 FM on-air personalities onsite and broadcasting live.
