ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Centerplate, the leading event hospitality partner to North America's premier sports stadiums, convention centers and entertainment venues, announces its exclusive menu of local flavors and Florida favorites for the annual Beef 'O' Brady Bowl St. Petersburg featuring the Ball State Cardinals and the University of Central Florida Knights.

For this special event, Centerplate's team has several game day favorites re-imagined for the game's expected 20,000 fans to enjoy, highlighted by the Bay Grill stand in Right Field Street. This specialty grill will serve Gourmet Foot-long Hot Dogs including a Florida favorite Cuban Dog: a pressed hot dog with relish and mustard.  Continuing the Florida theme, the popular Brewhouse Restaurant is offering premium and craft beers as well as fan favorites including wings, burgers, and nachos.
