Every year, Miami holds one of the largest culinary events in the world: the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. Unfortunately, residents of much more subdued Fort Lauderdale, kind of get the shaft.
Yes, there is the Las Olas Wine and Food Festival. And yes, Dine Out Lauderdale does exist, but there is nothing to compare to the remarkable culinary scale of SOBE. Fortunately, some local restauranteurs are hoping to change that. Cue Cheers for Charity.
Clean Plate Charlie caught up with Cheers for Charity chair and President of the Restaurant People--Vibe, Yolo, Tarpon Bend--Tim Petrillo, to get the scoop on the new dining event.
"We've been talking to Southern Wines for a while about doing something in East Broward. This is going to be our first stab at a weeklong food and wine festival" says Petrillo.
