Dexterous Sun & Intense Angles: The 2013 Seminole Hard Rock Food & Wine Festival - Feature
The texture of the South Florida sun revels in its ability to be many angles at once. In approaching a festival, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida understands the balance of the game, especially when culinary potions are in play. With their Food & Wine Festival, the key is being dexterous and intense while still showing the ideals of VIP and simple fun.Beginning the progression, Luca Bella fancied a bit of variety with their stuff mushrooms, baked clams, meatballs and penne alla vodka but, across the way, Bongo's Cuban Cafe, whose location is situated in the round just outside the festival gates, triumphed with its sliced pork mixed with mashed plantains.After a small but potent sip of Capital's Supper Club Beer from Wisconsin, the comfortability of PDQ with its tasty chicken club and tenders balanced into the down home tremblings of Chef Creole. As the dancers spun in headdresses and the pig was sliced, the essential element of catfish, sausage and beans warmed the stomach.Roho Kitchen offered a Short Rib Empanada with distinction, though dry in its follow through, and Tijuana Flats Burrito Company proved that fresh ingredients in the right proportions always makes sure the job is adequately completed. However, it was Jet Runway Cafe, with its unquenched line and its Asian Chicken Salad, meatloaf slider and luscious brownie that truly touched the soul.Kitchen 305 circled in generous style with an exceptional seafood salad not lacking in tasty crustaceans while Martorano's, a staple at the Hard Rock Hollywood as well as The Rio in Las Vegas, simmered with the owner's signature meatball.Swirling into the VIP section, which allows for early entrance into the festival, is a decidedly smart idea. Within their tent caddy corner to all the festival's wares, Bahama Breeze offered up an alfredo tuna pasta that lulls one with its intention.Looking towards the looming and tantalizing hotel, the tent remaining featured that of the Hard Rock itself with the Center Bar pouring libations in unending fashion while Blue Plate enhanced the finding with its salacious buffalo chicken poppers.The Seminole Hard Rock Food & Wine Festival, entranced by all realizes the temptations and notions of its guests to both enjoy food, libations and life, all with considerable stride.
