Renown South Florida blogger, Burger Beast, brought the Burgie Awards back for a sixth year. The Burger Awards, which awarded 15 prizes for the best in South Florida comfort food, as free and open to the public. It was a great opportunity to catch a lot of the food trucks that I hadn’t gotten a

Riverwalk’s Burger Battle returned this year, and the competition at Burger Battle 2014 was fierce! As usual, 16 Broward County restaurants threw down the gauntlet to see who makes the best burger.

Everyone knows that I don’t generally turn down a food festival when there is chocolate involved. So, March 9th found me wandering around Pinecrest Gardens and sampling all sorts of delectable bites. Compared to last year’s event, this was one considerably smaller. It was a bit of a letdown, but it was still a beautiful
