Grovetoberfest: An Homage to Tradition and Craft Beer

/

By Michèle Bigler Didn’t have enough money saved up to fly across the ocean to Munich for the traditional Octoberfest? Not to worry Grovetoberfest is coming up this Saturday and you can enjoy a mini, South Florida version of the 2-century-old event. In case you didn’t know Bavarians have been uniting since 1810 at the end of September for 17 days in their famous Theresienwise gardens to honor a tradition that began with the union between King Ludwig I and Princess Therese. The festivities began with horse races, beer and wine and quickly developed into a yearly event that transformed itself through the years and is now mostly likely one of the more famous traditions around the world. Today, the horse races have been abolished and replaced with amusement facilities and people flock to Munich every year to dress in costume, gulp millions of liters of beer and get a taste of the Bavarian tradition.  Likewise, copycat festivals have sprouted around the globe and in our very own back yard, Peacock Park in Coconut Grove to be precise. This Saturday will be the 5th edition of South Florida’s take on the German tradition featuring its protagonist: beer, but not just any beer, craft beer. Grovetoberfest has quickly become the largest and most respected craft beer festival in Florida. With independent breweries popping up and making a name for themselves everywhere this is the place to learn about new beers, savor classics and catch up on brew happenings.  Not only will you be able to savor carefully crafted recipes, it will all be accompanied by live music provided by The Bougainvillea’s Live Music Stage and food vendors that will surely include the tangy liquid as a secret ingredient, just in case you ever wondered what beer cupcakes taste like. Well behaved dogs are welcome, children not so much (21+ crowd), so call the babysitter, get your leashes and head over to the grove for our own tradition the Miami way with beers, music, food, sun and laughs on Saturday October 17th 3-7p.m. Get your tickets here. http://www.grovetoberfest.com

By Justina Coronel Look no further, Miami now has the best charburger. The Habit Burger Grill has officially opened its doors at Fountain Square, 9971 West Flagler Street, Suite 180 in Miami, Florida. In 1969, the first Habit Burger Grill opened in Santa Barbara, California and expanded to over 120 restaurants in 12 markets throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and to our beautiful Sunshine State.

The Habit Burger Grill is a burger-centric fast casual restaurant that prides itself in fresh quality products with delicious savory flavors. This burger joint specializes in one-of-a-kind chargrilled burgers and sandwiches. The charburger is 100% fresh ground beef that is never frozen.

These items are perfectly cooked over an open flame for some extra pop of flavor. The best way to pair these mouthwatering sandwiches are with French fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries, or tempura green beans that are all 100% trans-fat free and cooked in soybean oil. Last but not least, the ultimate way to top off the meal is to have a handmade blended shake or malt that can be provided in multiple flavorful choices from creamy chocolate, to strawberry, to vanilla, to mocha, and even to coffee. 1.

Gluten Free Dining

/

By Alyse Mier One of the most stressful parts about eating out while on a gluten free diet is figuring out where you can eat. Some restaurants don’t offer gluten free menus and some require you to look extensively through their menu and make substitutions. However, we’ve just made your dining experience a lot less tedious by creating a list of 4 chain restaurants that offer gluten free menus and can be found almost anywhere in the nation. (You can view all menus below.) CRAVE CRAVE restaurant was created out of a passion to provide guests with a dining experience best defined as the CRAVE experience. It combines quality ingredients, outstanding service, sophisticated ambiance and diverse menu options. The exceptionally talented culinary team drafts a fresh menu every season that uses the highest quality ingredients to ensure guests the best dining experience possible. The chefs share their favorite recipes and techniques in order to create a diverse menu that is sure to offer something for everybody, including those who are gluten sensitive. Rosa Mexicano Since opening its doors 30 years ago Rosa Mexicano continues to surpass the expectations of authentic Mexican cuisine by providing guests with dishes prepared with socially responsible ingredients and providing a menu that everyone can enjoy. All the dishes remain true to their roots while incorporating regional accents or innovative techniques that will make them stand out among others of its kind. Eliminate all your food cravings by indulging in fresh guacamole prepared tableside, as it has been famously done since 1984. Or enjoy some corn masa empandas stuffed with chicken and chorizo. Gluten free menus are available for both lunch and dinner and are bound to make Rosa Mexicano one of your go to spots. SUSHISAMBA Only at SUSHISAMBA will you find the unique blend of Brazilian, Japanese and Peruvian flavors. This tri-cultural unification is rich in history and is representative of the early 20th century when Japanese immigrants traveled to South America to cultivate coffee farms, and thus flourished the combination of these three cultures. SUSHISAMBA has become known for serving traditional dishes as well those with an unlikely combination of flavors. From one menu you can order something as simple as Alaskan King Crab Leg to something as complex as Chicharron De Calamar with tomatoes, onions, fried plantains, tamarind and mint. A dining experience at SUSHISAMBA is a truly unconventional dining experience. The Capital Grille From the moment you walk into The Capital Grille your experience will be of true elegance. It is the restaurant’s goal that everything that arrives at your table leaves you more than satisfied from beginning to end. Guests can choose from a selection of nationally renowned dry aged steaks, the freshest seafood and a list of world-class wines. The Capital Grille only uses the finest ingredients that are brilliantly prepared and designed to engage all your senses in this elegant dining experience.

Top 4 Wine Rooms of Miami

/

By Gisel Habibnejad Miami is known for its nightlife and beaches, however restaurateurs have been moving in on our city and opening glamorous, delicious, and innovative eateries for all to enjoy. With these magnificent places, often come wine bars that are quickly becoming hits. Here is a list of special spots to help you ‘wine’ down. Lagniappe Outdoor seating with romantic strings of light swinging across from above–a perfect recipe for a casual and romantic night out. Located in the heart of the intersection between Midtown, Design District, and Wynwood, this destination links the three booming neighborhoods of our city. Lagniappe has won several impressive accolades, and even earned a spot on “The 21 Best Wine Bars in the Country.” Atrio Restaurant & Wine Room Atrio Restaurant & Wine Room is the epitome of sophistication with a view. Miami’s skyline can be seen from anywhere in the restaurant; having a glass of wine by the bay never seemed more romantic. With over 200 vintage wines in the wine attic, wine tasting can be all the more exciting with eight to ten guests joining you for the evening. The Forge The 2010 winner of the Miami New Times “Best Wine Selection in a Restaurant” offers a unique experience Miamians can’t resist. The Enomatic segment is made up of 80 wines by the glass, where you can “be your own sommelier” and sample an international collection of your choice. By choosing Type I, The Forge’s executive sommelier will do the work for you–all you have to do is sip away. Type II requires your own expertise by free will. Uvaggio Wine Bar Crowned as one of the “Top 50 Places to Eat in Miami” by Yelp, Uvaggio Wine Bar guarantees good food and fine wine to its guests. While their menu categories are humorous, they offer a mean wine selection with various red and white wines to choose from. They also host events such as the Somm Slam, in which two top sommeliers go head-to-head to win a unique trophy. Guests will wine and dine on three dishes accompanied with wine pairings chosen by each sommelier. In addition, wine tastings are held every Saturday with special wine themes.
