I first time going to this event was last year and I questioned myself: What da deuce??? How come you haven’t been attending before? This is awesome! This event is sponsored by Jacksonville Magazine and showcases the winners of the Best of Jacksonville Readers Poll, restaurant-wise. The last few years they’ve had it at the East Touchdown Club of Everbank Stadium. I’ve never been to the stadium, not even for Jaguars Game but if I liked football I’d definitely look in to purchasing club seats. Anyway, this year I paid the Early Bird price which was $ 25. What a deal for the amount of food you get to try. The first floor was mostly Jacksonville Magazine’s setup: the photo station, the Shoe Cam, the Kimberly Clarke Salon for the Cover Model contest, the signature board. Riding the escalator up to the 2nd floor is where all the food vendors are and there were about 20+ tables. I had no idea where to start as by this time I was ravenous. Here are some of my favorites: Pinegrove Market and Deli — Cuban Sandwich(never had one before and it was great) Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails — Smoked Trout Spread(fantastic! I was supposed to use the veggies to spoon up the dip but instead I ate them) Ovinte — Lamb Meatballs with Goat Cheese(OMG. The best dish in my opinion) The Pig BBQ — a Rib with a side of Cole Slaw(very good) Hawkers — Pork Belly Bao —(my new Hawker’s favorite) I think everyone in our group complained about how full we were but we were very glad we came. On our way out we were kanded a swag bag with Jacksonville Magazines, coupons for discounts and freebies, store flyers, lip balm, air freshener, and a keychain light. Oh what a night. Looking forward to attending this event every year they have it.

I really look forward to this event every year. … it’s just«the best» really! How else can you get to try so many different specials from some of the best restaurants in jax? AND for only $ 35!!! And it’s not only food, craft beers.. Intuition and bold city were there… desserts.. cupcakes, peterbrook, Sweet Pete’s, biscotti’s … The food was outstanding.. so much I don’t even know where to start.. look at the pics.. you get to try so many great dishes. My personal favorite was aqua grill.. Tuna blt? Marinated raw fish with bacon, on a light toasted point? Lol I’m not sure what it was but it tasted delish! ! Hawkers was also on point with the pork belly steamed sandwich. … it was all good. We left totally stuffed. … also they give you a goodie bag on your way out with a bottle water. …can’t wait till next year! :)
