Let\u2019s all take a vote: Sofia Vergara needs to become a full-time resident of the 305 again.<\/p>\n

The \u201cModern Family\u201d star, who has a bunch of relatives in South Florida, started her career down here as a model in the \u201890s, and posts throwbacks<\/a> any chance she gets.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the 53-year-old actress attended the South Beach Wine & Food Festival\u2019s Grand Tasting Village on the sand with her son Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, 32 (dad is Vergara\u2019s ex husband\/high school sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez).<\/p>\n

The mom and son duo are the founders of Toma<\/a>, a line of Latin foods \u2014 empanadas, croquetas and pan de bonos \u2014 available at Walmart.<\/p>\n

The night before, Sofia and Manolo ditched the carbs and went for pure protein at Papi Steak, co-owned by hospitality giant David Grutman. According to insiders, their large table ordered the famed $1,000 Wagyu tomahawk<\/a> that arrives in a gold briefcase amid much fanfare.<\/p>\n

On Instagram, Vergara posted a snap at the SoFi clubstaurant, which recently reopened after a massive makeover. Vergara and her peeps pose in front of the massive floral wall mural, which replaced the black one (same artist, though \u2014 Canada\u2019s Candice Kaye).<\/p>\n

The cheeky, bilingual caption: \u201cMiami nights con la familia…puro perreo (clean twerking).\u201d<\/p>\n

Paparazzi pics show that the \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d judge knows how to definitely dress for the occasion, rocking a long, red corset dress.<\/p>\n

Like we said: Sofia needs to move back to the Magic City immediately, if not sooner. Anyone know a good Realtor?<\/p>\n
