Burgerliscious 2018 is the eighth year of this Coral Gables Burger Festival. After missing it last year (I was on a cruise; shame on me!), I went this year determined to make up for lost time. Once again, my event timing interfered, as my trip to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival this past weekend
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 5 years since I started Mango Madness. Mango Madness 2018 was actually going to be my last year of doing this, because I was legitimately running out of ideas. Yet. the mangoes flowed so heavily this year that I got all sorts of inspired! Seriously, I got
Burger Battle returned for the ninth year in a row. I had to travel last year and wasn’t in town for the event, but I was super excited about going this year! They moved the event to March instead of May. Weather-wise, that seemed like a good call. However, it also looks like it didn’t
Hamburger House Party returns again. And, despite my strict diet, I wasn’t about to miss out. This event is organized by Burger Beast, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Taste of the Caribbean, a culinary showcase and demonstration with various countries represented, returned this year. With it, Taste of the Islands also returned, a culinary display of tapas-style small bites from all of the competing teams. I missed last year’s event on account of going to a wedding, but I credit their 2014 event
The time finally came for one of my most anticipated events of the year! Burger Battle returns for the 7th year in a row, and Burger Battle 2016 definitely did not disappoint. Plenty of burgers and beverages galore, and a chance to see which burgers come out on top. Naturally, I arrived extra early to
Burger Beast’s answer to Burger Battle returns to Miami for the third year in a row. Best of all, they appear to have fixed the logistical issues that plagued last year’s event. This time around, the theme was 80’s, and it was a nostalgic travel back in time while enjoying some delicious bites. Twenty restaurants.
Another year of Burgerliscious has come and gone, and I certainly had no intention of missing out on this great event.
