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.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami

Published

on

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.


 August 20, 2026

Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.

South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.

The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.

On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.

Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection

Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.

Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.

The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.

We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.

Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.

It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.

Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami

There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.

In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.

A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.

Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.

Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.

The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.

Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall

Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.

The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.

Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.

Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar

Fashion is only part of the experience.

For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.

Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.

The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.

Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.

The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.

A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home

For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.

Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.

Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.

And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.

After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.

Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
