The co-founder of Buddy Brew Coffee, the owner of Pro Kitchen Hub, a fourth-generation family member at La Segunda Central Bakery, and the co-owner of Mini Doughnut Factory walk into a power lunch… no, seriously. That meeting of the minds is going down next month in Tampa.

Planned for the Ferguson Law Center at 11 a.m. July 12, the Women Mean Business Power Lunch has curated a talented panel of women behind some of the city’s favorite food and drink businesses. The featured speakers are Susan Ward (Buddy Brew), Kristin Witts McKinney (Pro Kitchen Hub), Yanna Moré Galante (La Segunda) and Zezura Ruddell (Mini Doughnut Factory).

You wanna know their recipes for success, don’t you?

Guests will hear from the four entrepreneurs while chowing down on bites from Mini Doughnut Factory, California Tacos to Go, M&R Catering, Elite Events Catering, Vamos Gourmet and Liz Anthony Nutrition.

RSVPs are required to attend the two-hour power lunch, a partnership between the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce and Working Women of Tampa Bay; walk-ins won’t be accepted. Tickets cost $30 for Chamber of Commerce members and $45 for potential members, and guests can secure their spots by registering online.
