The dawn of a new year comes with the promise of many exciting occasions. More than just a clean slate, the start of each new year also means that the Super Bowl is near – an exciting event for football enthusiast and non-fans alike. New years in Tampa Bay holds a particularly special significance as Gaparilla occurs at the end of each January.

Tastes of Tampa Bay is ready to take any of your upcoming themed parties to the next level. Whether through personal catering or their food truck Street Surfer, Tastes of Tampa Bay has a menu perfect for you.

A January in Tampa Bay would not be complete without the resonant presence of Gasparilla. Any Tampa native knows just how important this annual parade is – acting as a type of holiday for the whole city – and a successful Gasparilla party just isn’t complete without a corresponding menu. Tastes of Tampa Bay has perfected the craft of themed menu with their Gasparilla Goodness. Featuring main dishes such as Jerk Chicken, Mango Chutney, Coconut Shrimp, and Mojo Pork with Hawaiian rolls along with Corn on the Cob, Pineapple Slaw, Roasted Potato Salad, Fruit Skewers, and Pirate’s Booty Rum Caramel Corn, these courses are sure to be the talk of the party. Of course, no Gasparilla party is complete without a few beverages. Tastes of Tampa Bay’s creative take on Gasparilla cocktails includes “Berried” Treasure, Rum Runner, and Pirate Punch. Try them all if you’re brave enough!

Not long after Gasparilla comes the Super Bowl and Tastes of Tampa Bay has the inspiration for all your football party needs, no matter which team you support!
