EEEEEATSCON

Think of EEEEEATSCON as the edgier, more approachable second cousin to SOBEWFF. They're not really related, but Miami's relative newbie to the food festival circuit offers up a cool alternative to Miami Beach's long-running, nationally recognized (and quite expensive) culinary bacchanal on the sand. Taking place at Bayfront Park, this two-day, family-friendly eating extravaganza put on by the Infatuation highlights some of our favorite local restaurants—not the Guy Fieris of the world, but chefs and spots we as humans in this city actually follow: Lil' Laos, L'industrie Pizzeria, Caffè Panna and Ghee Indian Kitchen, to name a few. You'll probably come for the food, but you'll stick around for who's on stage, including Afrobeta and Dav Julca. This year also marks the beginning of one-off restaurant collabs—think Cowy Burger x The Salty Dojo Izakaya x Zitz Sum, Walrus Rodeo x Apocalypse BBQ, Edan Bistro x COTOA, and Tacos María x Santo Taco.
