15 Restaurants Featured At Longest Table Epicurean Event

Tickets are now on sale for the epicurean event of the year in Tampa Bay, the award-winning WUSF Public Media “Longest Table” dinner along the waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg, Thursday, April 12.

Fifteen restaurants will provide food, wine and cocktails for a fixed-price dinner to remember on tables running down St. Petersburg’s Bayshore Drive, from the Museum of Fine Arts to the Vinoy Renaissance Hotel.

Last year, the event sold out and gathered more than 900 attendees. This year, the attendee count could top 1,100, making this one of the largest dining events in the region.

Restaurants this year include Sophie’s at Saks Fifth Avenue, The Mill, Oak & Stone and others. All proceeds from the event go to support the mission of WUSF Public Media.

Each dinner ticket includes entrance to an after-party event at the Museum of Fine Arts where guests can meet and mingle with staff from WUSF and the MFA.

Guests can pick their preferred restaurant and purchase tickets online or by calling (800) 661-0823.

Each restaurant will serve one segment of the table, and tickets will range from $130 - $180, depending on the restaurant that the guests select. Check-in is at 5:30 p.m. and the first toast is at 6:15 p.m.

Reservations are required. Menus for each of the participating restaurants/caterers will be available online. Seating is limited and guests must be 21 or older.
