We've taken a table at this indoor garage market at the expo center for several years. It's not…read morejust once a year (annual) anymore as this year alone there have been 3 sales, so far. Held in either the Expo West or Expo East -- or both as they connect --depending on how many folks sign up to exhibit/sell. Vendors tend to be a mix of antique dealers, homeowners, store/former store owners, and people who do the flea market circuit on a regular basis. There are all sorts of items sold here from furniture to clothes to housewares -- some new -- including crafts -- and a lot used or vintage. You never know what you'll find. This past weekend there were even folks selling Christmas ornaments, fine china dining sets, musical instruments, and large ceramic statues. Held on a Saturday, gates open to the early bird public buyers at 7 am for $7 and at 8 am for regular hours for $6 which means until 2 pm. Vendors must keep their booths open until 2 pm. Parking is ample and the Expo is easily accessed in the fairgrounds just off Southern Boulevard. If you like a bargain or just to browse, put on your comfortable shoes and spend a fun day. PS Bring cash as most vendors prefer to take this method of payment. There is an ATM machine on site by the concession stand. Food at the concession stand is a bit expensive. Some of the dedicated visitors come for a bit; Get a new ticket to reenter and go out for lunch and come back. There are restrooms near the concession stand, as well.

I love how many events the PGA resort has been hosting lately... Their latest was the Pig Out…read moreGourmet Food Truck, where 10 food trucks gathered on the Resort's grounds for us to taste what they do best. We got there around noon, really hot day but so grateful it wasn't raining. If you got VIP tickets you were allowed in the Heineken tent with misters, and shade from the sun. Or, you could buy your way in for $15 extra. We didn't, instead after walking a bit, we found a table with a little shade and parked there. We just took turns going to the trucks and enjoyed a slight breeze from time to time. When you got in, they gave you a wrist band with detachable numbers. Each food truck was numbered to match those on the wristband. Very smart, to keep track of who had tasted their food already. The lines were very organized, the tickets were collected by JROTC members who were all very polite. Everyone working the food trucks was very friendly and, for the most part, we're very quick to serve the food. Here's what we had: Truck 1 - IL Florentino Small Potatoes Gnocchetti with traditional Italian Bolognese Sauce. I love gnocchi so was very happy with this one, off to a good start! I give this one a Bronze medal (as in Third Place). Why bronze, because I did not love the Bolognese sauce. Truck 2 - Flour Power BBQ Pulled pork sandwich. The pork was supposedly slow roasted in dark beer with onions and garlic but unfortunately their meet was bland and flavorless. Truck 3 - Crazydilla Cubadilla - it's like a Cuban sandwich but in a crispy organic tortilla, with a mustard aioli drizzled on top. This was my favorite of the day! Gold Medal! It was exactly what a Cuban sandwich should be but replacement of the bread with the tortilla made it a bit lighter which I liked a lot. Truck 4 - Philly Grill Philly Cheesetake. The bread was the only good thing about this one. The meat had no flavor, almost no cheese on mine, and the peppers were too sweet, which was the only thing I tasted in each bite. Truck 5 - Inspir-Asian Gluten free chicken, glazed with sweet chili sauce, jasmin rice, and broccoli florets. This got the Silver Medal. Even though the rice had very little flavor, the chicken was delicious and I loved the fact that they added the freshness of the broccoli, helping break out all the heavy food we had yet to try. Plus they had the prettiest presentation of all. Truck 6 - Burger Shack Burger topped with smoked bacon, onions, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, to ago,guacamole, jalapeño, and chipotle mayo. We had to wait 30 minutes for this one... I appreciate the "made to order" but when we took a bite we were all dissapointed. There was no guacamole, no heat, and some of the burgers were overcooked and dry. Truck 7 - Lobsta Rollin This was a no show so, really only 9 trucks... That's what we thought until one of the event employees told us about 3 other food trucks, we could try without the numbers. Good job to the PGA and the vent staff for compensating for this one not showing up, and good job for them advertising it everyone. Truck 8 - Mojo on the Go Pork Tacos topped with BBQ sauce and chipotle slaw. This was good. Meat was very well seasoned, tender but next time I will ask for less BBQ sauce. It was too much and it overpowered the taste of the already beautifully cooked meat. Truck 9 - international Classic Cuisine Gravlax Bouchée - Norwegian cured salmon with cream cheese, capers & dill, in a a baked puff pastry. Presentation was very nice but they went overboard with the dill. It was overwhelming and made it almost impossible to enjoy the dish. Truck 10 - Slow Food Truck Braised short beef rib pulled off the bone with grilled queso fresco, topped with fresh (Florida) Arugula and crispy shallots, on a potato roll. This one shares the Bronze Medal with IL Florentino. The queso Fresco and Arugula work magic on this sandwich. Plus the fact that the meat is so tender wins them points. As I said, we did not buy the extra tickets for the Heineken tent but were able to buy beer, wine, and/ or water from another tent. And once we were done we got to look at the cars on display... A Bentley coupe (that is my "if you win the lotto" car, after a 1974 restored Karman Ghia), an Audi, and some other new and classics but, the one that really caught my attention was "Black Beauty", a 1966 Corvette... Beautiful! These events are a great way to spend the day with friends and/ of family and do something out of the ordinary, get away from the routine. I'll keep an eye for more.

What a hot event! Literally :) Of course, I was there to pig out and see what they had in store…read more 10 food trucks got together to give the customers what they do best. All of the food I had was fantastic. When we got there around noon, it was starting to get hot and we were ready to chow down on some food. Thanks to Yelp and Blue for the tickets (YAY!). We stopped by to say hi to Ashley at the tent and we were off to start the adventure. There was a VIP tent for an additional charge that offered drinks, but we didn't go there. Our wristbands had detachable numbers for us to redeem at each food truck to get the food item we wanted. The numbers were collected by the JROTC members and it was very organized. Most of the trucks were quick to serve the food and the people working on those trucks were deserve a standing ovation for cooking for all of us in the scorching weather today. It was nice to sit down and eat the food in the shade while enjoying the breeze as well. Gotta love South Florida! Here were some of my favorites: Keurig - Strawberry pomegranate! The drinks kept me hydrated throughout the entire time. I probably would have passed out if it wasn't for them. BC Tacos - BBQ pulled pork taco topped with coleslaw and corn and the chicken ceasar taco. Che Grill - BBQ pork empanada and Choripan (Argentinean sausage sandwich) Cheesezilla - Steak and cheese sandwich and the classic grilled cheese with white and yellow American mac/cheese InspirAsian - Fierce Bulgogi Chicken (savory pan fried chicken breasts marinated with a Korean BBQ sauce on top of lettuce, cucumber, and carrots dressed with teriyaki sauce Parabas Grill - Green Chile Cheese Steak Tacos (thin sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, chiles, and white cheese The car show was neat. I'm not a big car freak, but it was pretty cool to see all the cars on display and to vote on the best custom car. The new black and red Corvette got my eyes and my vote. They even had a military helicopter to check out as well. I'm glad my husband and I was able to attend this event to pig out and to have a great time. Ah, we were about to burst on the way out and are still stuffed from all of the delicious comfort food. Hell yea!

I was melting as soon as I got out of the car... thankfully the event was well organized and the "check-in" was a breeze. We got our tickets at the "will call" tent and in less than 2 minutes we were in. Immediately greeted with our tasking beer mug to quench the thirst. Tents were labeled clearly, including Yelp, first in line, helping welcome everyone. They had some tents for crafts, jewelry, and clothing vendors, as well as some wine, vodka, and tequila brands. The breweries' tents each had at least 2 different beers from their line for us to taste. Everyone was very friendly, explaining the differences between the beers they were offering, and some even took the time to learn a little about your beer taste to make recommendations. Was surprised how even being so hot outside, they managed to maintain the beers cold which was so much appreciated and so refreshing. Plus the amount of beer served was great, not that sip you usually get at some other tasting events, and if you liked it, you could come back for more. I'm not too familiar with beer, just recently I started enjoying drinking it at social gatherings or with friends so I love these types of events to help me learn more and have more options for what to bring to a party or serve my friends when entertaining. Obviously I was able to find some I liked here. Between all my tastings here's the ones I'll be adding to my "Beer List": Rooney's Old Irish Ale Widmer Brothers Brewing Alchemy Ale Coronado Brewing Company Idiot IPA (must admit I tried this one for the name) :p Breckenridge Brewery SummerBright Know Breing Wilua Ale I loved that they had a selection of local beers on tap like Holy Mackerel, The Native, TBC and more. Now, this was also a Burger event so of course we tried those too. I don't know how many there were to try but I do remember my favorite ones. Chuck, in my opinion, definitely wins the "Best Burger" title. That burger was perfection. Classic, juicy, flavorful, comforting... Not surprised at all they got the "King of all Burgers" title last year. My "Best Alternative" went to Cha Cha's with their slider Kale & quinoa burger with humus on whole wheat. My last award, the "Most Innovative Burger" went to Vic & Angelo's Saltimbocca Burger. This was a sage infused burger with black garlic aioli, sun-dried tomato marmalade, prosciutto di parma, gorgonzola dolce and baby spinach. All I can say is I want more!! Absolutely amazing that burger... Other two worth mentioning were the ones from III Forks and Four Seasons. This was their Second year doing this event and, by what I experienced, I'd say (and hope) they have many more years to come. It was an excellent event, fun, delicious, and great way to promote their businesses. Making a note to lookout for next year's dates.

We arrived at PGA National and walked into the lobby, there were no signs showing where Beerfest was actually being held. Myself, my husband and a few groups of other people walked straight to where a wedding was taking place. We finally found someone who could direct us on where to go. The check in lines were long and confusing. We went into the first room, it was full, but not quite wall to wall, yet. We got into the bigger ballroom, it was packed, you couldn't move, you had to wait in line for most beers. A lot of the vendors were giving out warm beer and cider because they couldn't keep up with the demand. I was so looking forward to food, and I was hugely disappointed, there was only 2 food stations (that I saw) both had lines wrapping around the room, no thanks. We did get to try some good beers and ciders, but overall it was a terrible experience just due to the amount of people that attended. Next year they need to either hold it in a larger area or not sell so many tickets.

There are many tents, but not too many which makes it easy for you to spend a few minutes at each perusing and chatting with the each vendor getting to know their expertise. One of my favorite stops each year is the Sunshiners tent where you can find handmade outdoor objects that project glass sparkles all over your yard (or house if you place it indoors). They are made from glass and copper! I also love that they have a few food vendors so you can eat while you shop! Kettle corn, arepas, beignets and freshly squeezed lemonade to name a few. It's also right near the beach and a park with pavilions so if you come with kids, either is a great segway from this event. I will be back each year this wonderful event takes place!

It's only about a 12 minute walk really from any of the lots. We packed up. 4 chairs that we could put on our backs like backpacks and walk to Sunset. You get a wristband to enter and that was easy along with the scan of the tickets. There are 3 stages and the area is easy to walk thru. We were glad we had our chairs as no one wants to sit on the ground. I wish there were some healthy options at SunFest to munch on so I waited until I got home to eat.
