• The old phrase, "Take me out to the ball game" is going to have to be changed to "Take me out of the ball game" after Sunday's Marlins vs. Mets game. That's the Marlins are offering discounted "All You Can Eat Seats" for the throw down. This Club Level section of seats will offer fans completely unlimited quantities of nachos, popcorn, peanuts, soda, and ball park hot dogs throughout the game, to the tune of just $50. Combine that fatty goodness with the thrill of baseball, and Sun Life ushers are going to have to wheel people out on stretchers. The game starts at 1:10 p.m. at Sun Life Stadium (2269 Dan Marino Blvd., Miami Gardens). Tickets are available here.
• The bad boy of South Florida Italian dining, Steve Martorano, has
a soft spot for art, and he'll be showing it to the world next
Thursday, May 20 at 6 p.m. That's when he'll host the 13th Annual
Cuisine For Art dinner at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Grand
Ballroom, benefiting the Art & Culture Center of Hollywood.
Comers will enjoy a cocktail hour followed by a dinner cooked up by
Martorano himself (including his famous meatballs, petite filet mignon,
and fennel-roasted salmon) and plenty of vino to go with it.
Entertainment will be on hand, of course, including a live performance
by Rock With U, and a silent auction. But the biggest draw? The
"celebrity" wait staff, which includes Hollywood Mayor Peter Bober.
Being waited on by the Hollywood political circus? Cool! Just don't
complain about gadflies in your soup. Tickets cost $85. Call
954-921-3274, or snag an online RSVP form here.
