Hey South Florida, we’re back with another roundup of the best happenings from all over Miami-Dade and Broward this weekend. This week’s list is a foodie’s dream – from a flavorful Caribbean-inspired 4-course dinner, an Asian-fusion vegan cooking class, and even a Girl Scout Cookie and beer pairing event (who knew there was even such a thing?!).
Check out more below for the full rundown of the best things to do in South Florida this weekend. Remember to stay safe by wearing your masks, practicing social distancing, and most of all, enjoy your weekend!
Events This Weekend
Wine and dine yourself this weekend and indulge in a night of Caribbean cuisine with a delicious 4-course meal from Caribbean-favorite food truck Di Big Jerk! This special dinner also features a beer pairing with each plate for 4 (5oz) pours of specialty beer.
The menu includes a starter of passionfruit jerk-glazed shrimp crostini or rose belly rockfish ceviche, a surf and turf main course of blackened snapper topped with mango salsa and a side of braised Oxtail with cilantro coconut rice and island slaw, and of course dessert – Jamaican rum bread pudding with a butter rum sauce.
