Adventures of the Foodaholic's 1 Year Anniversary Celebration at NoVe Kitchen & Bar

I wanted to write this post to give a huge THANK YOU to all our friends and fans who celebrated our One Year Blogaversary Celebration on March 13th at Nove Kitchen and Bar with us. It was an amazing evening full of delicious food artistically created by the talented Chef Hiro Terada, tantalizing cocktails, sweet alcoholic cupcakes by Sweet and Tipsy, and incredible bites prepared with jams and marmalades by The Flavor Fusion Artisanal Foods.

DJ Drew kept the tunes spinning and we had a blast participating in our very own Foodaholic305Shake; a foodie's version of the Harlem Shake.(Check out DJ Drew's site to find out how you can download their app, EOSfm, and stream awesome music all the time)  Tweeting was a must, of course, and prizes included a gift card to NoVe Kitchen and Bar, and two free months of boot camp at Q4 Fitness Miami (gotta work off all the mouthwatering food).

Everyone enjoyed the fun and I can't wait till we all get together again soon. A special thanks to Ivan, Gus, Chef Hiro, Veronica,  Lenette and Andrew. You guys are the best! Lots of love to Betty from SFG Magazine for covering the event and capturing the memories forever and a big "you're da bomb" to Ari and Daniella from Hedonist/Shedonist and Soul of Miami for their amazing post and coverage.. To catch some more eye-popping food porn from the event, check out Monika Zdziebkowska's photo coverage for Miami Photo Life.
