Tampa Bay, FLA (8th, 2025) – TAMPA, FL —The Dan, a 1920s-inspired restaurant nestled inside the historic Hotel Flor in Downtown Tampa, proudly announces the arrival of Executive Chef Jason Revell. With a journey in the restaurant industry that began unexpectedly in Palmetto, Florida, Chef Revell brings a deep-rooted passion and years of experience having grown up in the industry. His passion for creativity and a bold new vision is coming soon to The Dan.
