Select the country and object's type We\'re delighted to have Joyce LaFray join our media delegation this year. We\'ve taken the liberty to copy some of her very impressive bio to introduce this talented lady.

\"Joyce LaFray, acknowledged to be one of Florida\'s foremost food experts, has earned plaudits for her ability to educate and entertain in a cornucopia of media settings

.

Author, restaurant critic, lecturer, and editor, Joyce has developed a rapidly growing, enthusiastic group of fans who follow her food paths in Florida and throughout the country. Her readers have faithfully followed her exploits and adventures in the fields of food, wine, and travel, via a myriad number of cookbooks and restaurant guides. Joyce is a contributor to Bon Appetit, Gourmet Retailer, Where and other food and travel magazines. When food writers visit Florida they call Joyce for advice on which restaurants to visit and which foods to sample.

Joyce\'s talents have played a major role in the organization and success of well known functions such as The Tampa Tribune\'s \"Taste of Florida,\" Macy\'s popular statewide \"Chef\'s Tour,\" Miami\'s International Book Fair, and the National Kahlua \"Bake-off. Corporately, she has been spokesperson for Goldkist (Young and Tender Chicken), Appleton Rum, Dining Out and Publix Supermarkets.

This market is important because that is where we get our information to do our books, especially for the FOX-TV One Tank Trips and the Tampa Bay Times.
