“Because of the World of Food Poker Tour I visited and discovered new restaurants that I will visit again and again. This was a fantastic way to introduce us to restaurants in the neighborhood.”“What a brilliant idea! We enjoyed participating as a sponsor, player and guest. The event was very well organized from start to end. In addition to the opportunity to service new customers, we had an awesome time the evening of the tournament, and enjoyed mingling with other members of this wonderful community.”
