Kona Grill, a restaurant located near the International Plaza in west
Tampa, will unveil the “Spartan Roll” at an event on Thursday, Nov. 11.
While
the contents of the new Spartan Roll remain a closely guarded secret
until its unveiling at the event, it is known that the partnership
between UT and Kona Grill will benefit UT and the entrepreneurship
program. Kona Grill will donate to UT a portion of the proceeds of each
Spartan Roll sold. Also, Kona Grill will work closely with the UT
entrepreneurship program.
“We’re excited to partner with Kona
Grill in a way that benefits the University and our entrepreneurship
program, and which is clever and appetizing,” said Frank Ghannadian,
dean of the UT Sykes College of Business. “We hope the Spartan Roll will
become Tampa’s most popular sushi roll.”
The Nov. 11 event will
also celebrate the restaurant’s one-year anniversary in Tampa and will
include live music, body sushi and award-winning menu items. The event
will run from 6-10 p.m. at 4134 W. Boy Scout Blvd. More information and
tickets to the event may be obtained at tickets@konagrill.com.
