AlwaysSoBe: South Beach Wine & Food Festival

February 23, 2010

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival is finally upon us, and before we descend upon Miami for a fun-filled weekend of gluttony, we thought that we would get things started off the right way by publishing not one, but two never-before-seen videos from the New York festival’s signature events: Burger Bash and Meatball Madness.

Also, in anticipation of time spent down south, we sent the GutterGourmet down there to do some advance recon on what restaurants you should spend your time at between gorging at the events. We will be bringing you some of his Miami restaurant reviews during the week.

So, whether you are traveling down to SoBe or not, here are two videos from NYCWFF that will most certainly whet your appetite:

 

BURGER BASH

Spike had cheerleaders, Bobby Flay lead his own cheer, and Josh Capon made the greatest acceptance speech of all time. This is just some of what went down at the Blue Moon Burger Bash at the 2009 New York City Wine & Food Festival. The event, which featured 21 participating restaurants and chefs battling it out in the Tobacco Warehouse under the Brooklyn Bridge, was nothing short of epic.

 

MEATBALL MADNESS

Meatball Madness. The grand finale of the 2009 New York City Wine & Food Festival featured meatballs made of everything from tuna to wild boar. Ultimately though, it was a meatball master who held strong and took the top prize.
