years  !  I didn’t know what to expect as this was my first big event in Ybor and at the Ritz Ybor.  I have to tell ya, the vibe was definitely pumping the moment you drove up!  I never in my life saw so many people lined out the door and past the building who wanted to be part of this battle, after all, it was a SOLD OUT event.  Luckily for me though, I didn’t have to wait in that long line, I had my VIP access which allowed me to zip right on through and a step closer to #ALLTHESUSHI!

So what was it like once you were inside?

 VIP’s were given these fancy chopsticks with a shot glass and drinking glass for the night!  Yep, I sipped the night away (just a little)…

 How cool is this?  #NOORDINARYLIZ in Japanese 🙂  Do you see it?

 Because you HAVE to do a sake bomb at a SAKE BATTLE!!! 

 Another shot of our fancy swag with some liquid to enhance the look!  I mean, what else are they used for?

 Godzilla…meet NO Ordinary Liz…

 THIS picture doesn’t even do it justice.  ALL these people made it so hard for me to #EATALLTHESUSHI, but I tried 🙂

 This sushi was pretty tasty!  Just some samples from the night that I could get to.

Yep, shrimp tails, rice and other things were flying as sushi chefs were trying to keep up with all the demand!  FEED ME MORE SUSHI!

 Isn’t this a BEAUT?!

  Tampa Taiko   (Traditional Japanese Drumming) was absolutely amazing!  Umm, why haven’t you checked out their website yet? 

 My co-worker and other “chopstick” for the night!  We had such a BLAST!

 I believe people conquered what they set out to dooooo….#EATALLTHESUSHI 

 I’m only sushiwasted 🙂
