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

Taste of Peru, the third in my annual Holy Trinity of Peruvian Gastronomic Festivals, returned yet again. Last year, I was underwhelmed by the turnout. This year, the Peruvians in Miami turned out in full force. Even better, some new vendors made an appearance at the venue. It was truly a testament to the growing
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
