Not into the national hooplah and exorbitant pricing of SOBEWFF? Thank the food gods for EEEEEATSCON, the Infatuation's very own food festival. Taking place at Bayfront Park, this two-day eating extravaganza highlights some of our favorite local restaurants, not the Michelin Stars of the world, but places where we as humans in the city actually eat.
We're talking B-Side by Itamae, Jaguar Sun, Tâm Tâm, and Walrus Rodeo, plus a really synergetic-seeming collab between Zitz Sum and QP Tapas and so, so much more. In addition to Miami stalwarts, there will also be a few out of town imports like LA's Bang Bang Noodles and Tacos Los Cholos, Austin's KG BBQ, New York's Rowdy Rooster, and yet another enticing collab, this time between Maty's and Austin's Nixta Taqueria.
You'll probably come for the food, but you'll linger around for who's on stage. Don't miss the music throughotu the weekend from local acts like Spinelli, Paperwater, Dante's Hi-Fi founder Rich Medina, Hiltronix and Afrobeta. As for panels and chats, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia showrunners and lead actors Glenn Howerton and Rob McElhenney are making the trip from their fictional Four Walls pub to premiere their real life Irish American whiskey brand, aptly named Four Walls, in Florida. SNL comedian and Only in Dade alum Marcello Hernandez is returning to his home town to crack some jokes about the 305, and you'll also get the chance to hear podcast hosts Ashley Hesseltine and Rayna Greenberg of Girls Gotta Eat as well as comedians Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone chatting with each other and audiences live.
