Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - Hollywood; FL; Seminole Hard Rock's Wine & Food Festival;
Working, while sampling every wine, dozens of vodkas, sucking down a plethora of water! Eating some of best finger foods the Floridian coast has seen. Local chefs and chef's from around the USA where hustling, running around still preparing meals for 15000 or more attendees that ponied up a $100 per ticket / per/ person to enter the pit of foods, to taste what was in the air, what could be smelled from 4 miles away to kick back and relax on a 75 degree cloudless blue sky, paradise in paradise a perfect day, a kind of day that Florida has 360 days a year...
Arriving only minutes before the gate had opened where over 2500 people were alreadu waiting to enter waiting for the gates to open. Waiting to eat, waiting drink, waiting to dance and have the chance to meet some of the stars of this show.........
The air was filled with the familiar smell of your common back yard BBQ, but this was different this was gourmet this was BBQ masters on steroids this was spiced islands this was southern style, this was latin american style this was Philly style this was a day that should have been extended for a week...:)
