MenuPages At South Beach: The Weekend Roundup

MenuPages: South Florida had a big weekend flitting hither and yon around the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, drinking this, tasting that, photographing this other celebrity chef’s head-wear. Editor Carolina Bolado has been working tirelessly throughout the weekend, as evidenced by her coverage. Head over to the SoFla blog for the full articles, which we’ll summarize below.

• Mario Batali seems to need a lesson or two in how to behave in front of royalty. Namely, F-bombs are not to be dropped in the presence of her majesty. [Batali Curses, Shocks Queen Of Spain]

• An army of Florida International University hospitality students butchered a smaller army of pigs in preparation for the Perrier-Jouet BubbleQ. [Lots Of Pork At BubbleQ Prep]

• And then the BubbleQ, $350-a-head Champagne and barbecue jam, got underway with a porky vengeance. [When ‘Cue And Champagne Collide]

• Sunday was list day: Festival odds and ends that might not have warranted their own articles got dropped here. Including the suspiciously high Spike Mendelsohn hat-count. [Notes From Day 3 Of The SoBe Fest]

&38226; For those who couldn’t swing the slightly O.T.T. BubbleQ, there was an alternative, in the form of wine seminars. Though not everybody treated those with the respect they deserved. [Don’t Have $350 For BubbleQ? Check Out A Wine Seminar Instead]

• Finally, if you want to see a whole mess of photos, check out MP: SoFla’s flickr stream. Very thorough. [MP: SoFla’s photostream]
