Ladies, do you like Argentine food? How about Korean food? Well, thanks to Wynwood\u2019s International Food Festival, you can get all that plus more \u2014 and at a discount. Check it out.<\/p>\n
Wanna take your taste buds on a world tour? Then get a WIFF of what\u2019s cooking in Wynwood.<\/p>\n
Soraya Roberts: \u201cWIFF is the Wynwood International Food Festival. It entails tying in a passport similar to Epcot, and the passport gives you access to 23 restaurants within Wynwood.\u201d<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t your average food festival. It\u2019s inspired by the FIFA World Cup, turning local restaurants into different countries.<\/p>\n
Soraya Roberts: \u201cWhat a great time to do it, which is during the World Cup. Where we are welcoming all of these countries, and all of these visitors coming to Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n
Argentina is on fire right now, so we visited Boulan, an Argentine-inspired spot, to see how they are representing!<\/p>\n
Mayela Porras: \u201cWe are very proud to be representing Argentina because this is a part of our culture. You can come here to Boulan, and you can feel it!\u201d<\/p>\n
You can taste it too.<\/p>\n
Mayela Porras: \u201cWe have two menus on the $10 menu, we have two medialunas, filled croissant or quiche, plus the coffee that you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the $15 menu, guests can grab a prosciutto croissant, a salad, pasta, and a drink! Now that\u2019s a goal!<\/p>\n
Your next stamp on that passport could lead you to South Korea!<\/p>\n
88unnie is a Korean comfort food spot located in the 1-800 Lucky food hall!<\/p>\n
Jihyeon Lee: \u201cSo sadly, Korea is no longer in the matches, but they did a really good job!\u201d<\/p>\n
But, just because they are out, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t enjoy some good food like this Scallion Seafood Pancake!<\/p>\n
Jihyeon Lee: \u201cScallion pancake is made with scallions and garlic chives, zucchini, and carrots in egg batter with seafood!\u201d<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t miss out on the other standouts, like the Korean fried chicken or the japche, and remember that passport? It comes with cool perks!<\/p>\n
Soraya Roberts: \u201cIf you collect all the stamps, which are for the 23 restaurants, you can get hotel night stays, even NASCAR tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n
And yes, the World Cup is winding down, but there is still time to check out the festival.<\/p>\n
Soraya Roberts: \u201cIt runs all the way until the end of July. So you still have time to get your WIFF passport.\u201d<\/p>\n
