As I mentioned last week, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival is a big deal in the foodie world. So naturally the event kicked off yesterday with a big bash (make that a burger bash), hosted by our 30 minute meal maven, Rachael Ray. Sadly, I am thousands of miles away on the other coast and wasn't able to attend it, nor will I be able to attend any of the appetite-whetting events (like the Food Network Awards Show, a panel featuring Anthony Bourdain & Tom Colicchio, Al Roker's BubbleQ, Rachael Ray & Giada's Kidz Kitchen, Martha's (and the Mondavi's) tribute brunch, wine-tastings, food-tastings, and other celebrity chef hob-knobbery)... *sigh* oh well... The event (which is expecting over 18,000 people) is mostly sold-out anyway.
Maybe next year, eh?
Until then, I, like most of you (unless you're lucky and if you are, please do share photos and stories with the rest of us!!), will have to settle for images and anecdotes.
To check out some more pictures from last night's Amstel Light's Burger Bash hosted by Rachael Ray (who, in case you're wondering, is getting groped by Lee B. Schrager - a prominent "event planner and public relations expert"), read more

Rachael looks a bit tanked in the first interview. Heh. I wish I was going to this thing; sounds fun.
1I was interested for about 30 seconds until I saw that annoying yenta was hosting. Alert me when her 15 minutes is over. I will turn on the Food Network again.
2Who is Rachel Rey again?
3i live in south florida, and the festival got sold out very quickly. Than again, unless you knew someone who could get you into everything, you would have to pay thousands of dollars per certain events. With that much money I could just buy my own restaurant:) But it did look like fun from what I heard from the locals.
4rachel ray is everywhere now a days!
