Can you say road trip!!??  I’ll be heading down to the Tervis Heritage Store in Osprey Saturday to check in with Chef Duff Goldman (star of the The Food Network, owner of Charm City Cakes who we know as the Ace of Cakes) who will be in town to celebrate the 65^th anniversary of Tervis Tumblers! I’ll come back with interviews from Duff and Barry Wolfson, President and CEO OF Tervis, the leading producer of insulated drink and serveware. But if you can join us Saturday,  and if you spend $65 or more at the Tervis Heritage Store, you’ll receive your own special, limited edition Chef Duff/Tervis tumbler, while supplies last. The party is from noon-3 pm at 928 South Tamiami Trail in Osprey, Florida. For more information, just call 1-941-966-8614. Four other Tervis stores will also be celebrating the big day, and you can find those at www.tervis.com. But to win your own limited edition set of Chef Duff/Tervis Tumbler just be the first to tell me where Charm City Cakes is located. Click here! 949comments@coxtampa.com

Tervis is already on my Christmas list for my big brother John, who has created his own “man cave” at home and needs some special sports tumblers from Tervis. If you can’t make it down to Osprey, how cool is this; you can actually see the whole party live online on the Tervis Facebook page! Go to www.Facebook.com/tervistumbler.com.

Locally, the 2001 International Culinary Academy Awards Gala Champagne Brunch will be at the Don Cesar Beach Resort on Sunday. It’s a beautiful place to spend the day with the family, and tickets are still available benefiting the Abilities Foundation; buy your tickets online at http://www.cordondorcuisine.com/2011_awards_paypal_ticket.htm.

Enjoy!
