Eat Well Tampa

eat well.

A Tampa food community built around good food, moving together, and the people at the table.

The idea

Eating well is about who's at the table as much as what's on it.

Eat Well Tampa brings people together around real food. We run with neighbors, share a chef-made brunch, and leave knowing a few more people than when we arrived.

It starts small and stays welcoming. Community events are free or low-cost, built with local run clubs, studios and Tampa chefs who care about the same things.

The same idea runs through everything we do, from a Saturday run club brunch to a weekly meal program cooked in your kitchen.

Behind Eat Well Tampa

Hi, I'm John.

I've spent more than ten years running kitchens in Tampa and beyond as a chef-operator, general manager and culinary director. I started Eat Well Tampa to bring that cooking out of the restaurant and into the community.

Classically trained at the Culinary Institute of Virginia, with a business degree from Johnson & Wales. These days I cook in private homes, host Move + Eat, and help other food businesses run better.
