In February, Ashley Davis, Café Manager at Twisted Sprocket Café, participated in the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami. It was the second year Bexley’s chef was invited to this prestigious event, hosted by Giada De Laurentiis, of the popular “Giada at Home” show on the Food Network.
Davis participated in the event’s Italian Bites on the Beach. Her team served 1,500 portions of Rotini Pasta with Italian Sausage, and a Roasted Red Pepper Ragu with a Balsamic Glaze and Pecorino Romano Cheese.
“It was a big crowd to feed,” said Davis. “But, it was extremely rewarding to have so many people tell how us much they enjoyed the dish and thought it was the best one of the evening.”
The South Beach Wine and Food Festival invited more than 30 of the nation’s best chefs to serve up dishes originating from various regions of Italy.
“It was a great honor to be invited back to this festival,” said Davis. “I was proud to represent Bexley and all of Pasco County.”
