Trip Report: Feast with the Beasts

Thanks to my lovely best friend, Chantell, I was able to snag 2 tickets to this year’s Feast with the Beasts at Miami MetroZoo.

We were running late, and being the ultimate punctual guest, I was not a happy camper. However, when we arrived, I was delighted to see there was neither a line at the entrance nor any lines at the tables. (Food festival lesson learned: Show up late enough for the crowd to pass, and early enough to visit all the participants.)

From Los Ranchos’ churrassco, un-strategically placed in front of the tigers, to Trattoria Sole’s risotto, and Badrutt’s Place’s heavenly Mousse au Chocolate, this festival offered plenty of choices. The event had more than 5 open bars throughout the trail and an awaiting “Dessert Oasis”, which included Ghrardelli’s Chocolate Company and Blue Bell Ice Cream booths. Since this particular food festival doesn’t seem to be advertised enough in Miami, I’m here to tell you GO TO MIAMI METROZOO’S FEAST WITH THE BEAST! If the food’s not enough reason to splurge on a ticket, proceeds benefit Zoological Society of Florida’s education and conservation programs. So, no more excuses, just go!
