About us

Thanks for considering Ethnic Food Lovers of Broward County membership!

We're a diverse group of mostly singles and mostly those aged 55+, but everyone is welcome to join us at food and drink events throughout Broward County.

We are the younger sibling of Ethnic Food Lovers of Palm Beach County.

We come together for the joy of eating, drinking, making new friends, and sharing our travel and dining experiences.

There is an emphasis on positivity and gratefulness rather than on complaining and criticizing.

The group is a safe environment for all.

There is a zero tolerance for insulting, berating, disrespecting, or harassing others, whether they be waitstaff, event hosts, fellow members, or diners unrelated to the group.

There is never a group charge.

Our events fall into two categories: hosted restaurant events organized by Steve and others, and unhosted events that range from cooking classes to food festivals.

For the latter type, follow the link to purchase tickets for each event as soon as possible, as some of these events sell out quickly.

The group only lists these events, does not sponsor them, and depends on members to determine if each event is appropriate for them.

The only costs to you are associated with unhosted events that you choose to participate in, and of course, your food and drink at hosted events.

At hosted dinner events, we order entrees.

For breakfast and lunch events, we generally order what we wish, although ordering something significant, whether an omelet, salad, or a sandwich, will ensure that we’ll be welcomed back to the restaurant in the future.

Separate checks will always be issued wherever we eat.

We leave political and religious discussions to other meetup groups and our friends, neighbors, and family members outside the group.

We limit our phone use when we're together and focus on eating and socializing.

No-showing twice at hosted events entitles (former) members to a first-class ticket to Bannedville.

Chronic event sign-ups followed by chronic un-RSVPing is a frowned-upon practice.

You're sure to fit right in if you value civility, humor, and good conversation.

Bring a good appetite and your gift for gab.

Please also be sure to post your favorite ethnic eateries on our discussion page and enable all group messages so you won't miss out on anything new.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Those previously banned from Ethnic Food Lovers of Palm Beach County are ineligible to join this group. Those who register will be immediately removed.

    The 6th Annual SAVOR SoFLO returns to Hollywood Beach on Saturday April 18, 2026 and Sunday April 19, 2026 directly behind host hotel Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort.

    Guests will enjoy a first-class culinary experience overlooking beautiful Hollywood Beach. The popular two-day festival invites local and visiting foodies, wine enthusiasts and craft beer aficionados to hit the beach for a weekend full of good eats, beats and arts, while celebrating the local culinary and hospitality community of South Florida.

    Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, SAVOR SoFLO transforms the Hollywood Broadwalk into a 25,000+ square-foot playground of flavor, where festival-goers can indulge in gourmet bites, craft beers, fine wines and premium spirits.

    From returning fan-favorites like Margaritaville Restaurants, Morton’s and The Palm to fresh new culinary talents making their debut, the festival delivers the best of South Florida’s vibrant food scene in one unforgettable weekend.
    Sustainability takes center stage, too.

    In line with the City of Hollywood’s green initiatives, all vendors will use compostable or biodegradable materials, keeping the beach as pristine as the dishes on display.
