South Florida Bacon & Brunch Fest Sizzles
Wake, Bacon & Roll, The Top Brunch Bites That Stole the Show in Boca Raton festival.
January 26th, 2025
The South Florida Bacon & Brunch Fest at South County Regional Park in Boca Raton brought together a sizzling combination of bold flavors, refreshing drinks and lively entertainment. With a variety of bacon-inspired dishes and brunch favorites, the festival delighted food lovers while providing fun activities for all ages. Among the many standout offerings, Yen’s Kitchen emerged as the undisputed star, delivering the most memorable bites of the day.
Yen’s Kitchen wowed the crowd with its bold Vietnamese flavors infused with a creative brunch twist. Their Vietnamese Mini Bacon Crepes were an absolute showstopper, offering a perfect balance of crispiness and savory goodness. The crispy bacon topping and tender pork belly tucked inside the fluffy crepe made every bite irresistible. Equally impressive was their Garlic Butter Chicken & Matcha Waffle, a dish that blended juicy, curry-tinged chicken with subtly sweet matcha waffles for a surprising yet satisfying pairing. As a family-owned business, Yen’s Kitchen brought heart and authenticity to their dishes, making their booth a must-visit.

While Yen’s Kitchen stole the show, other vendors delivered their own delectable creations. Island Chef Cafe’s Apple Burrito offered a comforting dessert-like treat with a buttermilk pancake filled with spiced apples and drizzled with chili-infused maple syrup—a sweet way to wrap up the festival. Pepe’s Hey Babe took indulgence to another level with their Smoked Brisket Mac & Cheese, featuring 18-hour smoked brisket, creamy five-cheese mac, crispy bacon, and a sweet-and-spicy bourbon BBQ sauce, all topped with Pecorino Romano for a gourmet twist. Comfort food at its finest.

For those craving a simple yet addictive bite, Chef Tori’s Candied Bacon Skewers delivered a perfect sweet-and-savory balance with a sticky glaze and beautifully presented smoky bacon. Sundays Diner offered a lighter, crispier option with their Fried Fish Dumpling, adding variety to the festival’s lineup. Meanwhile, Tropi Nut provided a refreshing break from all the rich flavors with their fresh coconut water—a hydrating tropical treat served by two best friends.

Ahmay’s Cuisine introduced a unique experience with their Bacon Laphet Kyaw, a dish featuring jasmine rice, fermented tea leaves, crispy bacon, and crunchy nuts. While packed with umami, it left diners wishing for a sauce to tie it all together. The festival also catered to cocktail enthusiasts with brunch-inspired drinks, from classic mimosas to craft creations that perfectly complemented the rich, smoky flavors of the food.

Beyond the incredible eats, the festival created a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Live music from talented DJs kept the energy high, while families enjoyed mobile axe throwing, inflatable bouncy houses, and a vibrant marketplace featuring local artisans and makers.

With over 20 diverse food vendors, the South Florida Bacon & Brunch Fest was a celebration of flavor, community, and creativity. From indulgent comfort food to innovative culinary surprises, the event had something for everyone. And at the heart of it all, Yen’s Kitchen shined the brightest, leaving festival-goers eagerly awaiting their next taste of excellence.

Inside Palace Bar’s Haus of Gucci Ball
Between flying queens, strong pours, and a room full of Pride week energy, Palace turned Friday night into one of the hottest parties on Ocean Drive.
April 11, 2026
During Miami Beach Pride Week, plenty of venues try to capture the moment, but Palace Bar made Friday night feel like the place everyone wanted to be. The Haus of Gucci Ball brought together drag, fashion, nightlife, and the kind of high energy crowd that made the whole evening feel elevated from the start.
The atmosphere hit immediately. Palace was glowing, the music kept the room alive, and the crowd was fully locked in. It felt vibrant, glamorous, and very Miami Beach. More than just a dinner outing, the night unfolded like a full Pride experience on Ocean Drive.
The clear highlight was a queen whose acrobatic performance completely took over the room. She moved with an incredible mix of strength, control, and confidence, turning the floor into her stage and delivering a routine that felt both dazzling and deeply seductive. At one point, she was flipping around on a man with such effortless precision that the whole crowd seemed to stop at once. It was captivating, sexy, and easily one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The food and drinks absolutely kept up. We had the filet bites and tuna tostones, both perfect for sharing between performances, along with skinny margaritas and lemon drops that were dangerously easy to drink. And yes, Palace was pouring strong, which only added to the fun. The cocktails matched the mood of the night perfectly: bold, smooth, and hard to stop ordering.
What makes Palace Bar work so well during Miami Beach Pride is that the energy never drops. The performers are not just part of the background. They pull the whole room in. The crowd responds, the music keeps moving, and the night keeps building. That kind of momentum is exactly what makes an event feel worth showing up for.
The Haus of Gucci Ball was one part of Palace Bar’s larger Miami Beach Pride Week programming, which has helped make the venue one of the biggest draws on Ocean Drive this week. With events spanning multiple days, Palace has become a go to destination for people looking for drag performances, nightlife, rooftop energy, DJs, and a crowd that wants to celebrate Pride in full.
That is what makes Palace such a fixture during Miami Beach Pride Week. It is not just about location or history. It is about creating nights that actually feel exciting once you are there. Friday night’s Haus of Gucci Ball had the glamour, the chemistry, the performances, and the kind of atmosphere that kept people fully engaged from beginning to end.
If you were at Palace Bar on Friday night, you already know how good it was. If you missed it, this was one of those Miami Beach Pride nights worth hearing about.
