Restaurant PR in Tampa, FL
Tampa Bay's restaurant scene is in the middle of a genuine renaissance — chef-driven concepts, neighbourhood transformations, and a dining public that's finally getting the recognition it deserves. ChowPR puts your restaurant in that conversation.
The Tampa Food Media Landscape
Tampa's food media landscape has been transformed by the city's growth. The Tampa Bay Times has the region's most respected food criticism. Creative Loafing Tampa covers the indie dining scene with commitment. Eater Tampa tracks openings with speed. And the region's mix of local diners, snowbirds, and growing tourist influx creates multiple media audiences worth reaching.
