Elite Event: SYOY @ BTW

Well it only took me like two weeks to write this review :-O … Shame shame Norma !!!
Anyway… It was such a pleasure to attend this event, I honestly don’t know how Cassie does it but she always comes up with the most awesome events.
This one was not the exception, I was able to bring my fiancé as my plus one, he and I were excited.
Got there on time, was greeted by Cassie herself and were given a bingo to play with fellow Unilocalers.
We got to try a variety of tacos, they were all delicious, the drinks were just perfectly chilled for this humid Florida weather, at the end I stayed most of the time in the bar area, enjoying the well crafted Old Fashion! It was perfect!
Because I was in the bar I wasn’t able to try every single dish, but I was very pleased with what I had.
At the end we were given some take home goodies, which were some Tortilla chips with cinnamon and sugar, and some gift cards to come back!
We will be back for sure!
Thanks BTW you sure know what you’re doing! Everything was yummy
And thank you Cassie! For always organizing amazing events.

50 Eggs, you have done it again…
BTW treated Unilocalers to a private event where the restaurant showcased some of its delicious fare from honey hot wings, roasted pulled pork, swine burger, pork belly soft taco (on a corn or wheat tortilla) carving station, chicken mini tacos, beef mini tacos, etc.
My favorites were the roasted pulled pork sanwich and the pork belly soft taco from the carving station. Th epork belly soft taco was exquisite because it was garnished perfectly with onions prepared in «Spanish style». Sam gave a great explanation as to what that entailed and I’m sure foodies everywhere know what this entails. I’ll tell you what it entails: Pure Yummyness
The restaurant has an inside bar and outdoor covered seating so you’ll be sheltered from the sun and the South Florida heat. On the night of this event, Miami Beach felt like a sauna. Thankfully, this restaurant was prepared with mist blowing fans and with cool and refreshing drinks. I tried a margarita and an old fashioned — both prepared by nice and very generous mixologists.
I love the location on Alton Road, it’s part of the party area but not in the crazy area. There’s metered parking on the side streets or on the 10^th street garage by West Avenue. Nice place to visit when on SoBe. I’ll be back to visit with loved ones.
BTW, thanks for hosting us and an amazing event. Cassie and the Unilocal team, you have done it again with coordinating another amazing and fun event: THANK YOU!

What a great event!
This place is easy to find and easy to get to. The staff treated us like gold from the minute we got there, and the food just kept on comin’ all night.
It was very laid-​back and well-​planned. The atmosphere was different than a sit-​down event, and it was very mingly. The game helped us to get to know one another too.
BTW’s approach to food is very unique, lots of little bites all with unique flavors. The pulled pork sandwich and the Swine Burgers were slider-​sized sandwiches, and the Swine was mighty fine. Big thick chunks of real bacon… Assuming you are not counting your LDLs, this place is heaven.
The carvery out back was great too, and I have to say I was impressed with the Carver’s enthusiasm for what she was carving. She SOLD me on even before I took a bite. In fact the whole BTW team knew the menu very well and answered our questions. They also took care of all the little details, like full water glasses and lots of napkins handy. This comment goes from top to bottom, since Jason the manager was also a great host and made us feel at home.
Thank you for a great night. I will for sure be back to BTW.
Thank you, Cassie for a great event!

BTW was Hot! Hot! Hot!
For being such a cool, trendy, and fun spot BTW was on FIRE!!! From the amazing and ever coming food to the delish spicy drinks and fun bingo games!!!
I really had a blast mingling and working the floor in aim to swap a completed bingo sheet for a cool Unilocal bag swag :-P
The food was sooooooo goood!!! and BTW had me at their french fries… OMG the BEST!!! The minute I stepped foot in the door I was greeted by a server with a drink in hand and from that moment the food and sample soirée never stopped coming around! llol My second and third flavor faves were the spicy chicken and pulled pork sliders!!!
I’m definitely coming back! Specially after BTW was so generous and gifted everyone with a $ 15 gift card that came along with some delicious cinnamon flavored tortilla chips! :p
The entire event was so nicely and neatly organized! So a really big THANK YOU to BTW and staff (because they were all on point!) and of course to Unilocal and our CM C. G…see ya next time!!!
XXs!

This was my first Unilocal elite event at BTW. Thank you Cassie for inviting me and for organizing the fun bingo game ice breaker. I met so many nice people and had a lot of fun.
We were welcomed by a very friendly staff who greeted us with delicious food that just kept coming. The pork belly tacos and the Swine Burger Sliders were my favorites. Just ridiculously good!
For drinks, I tried the old fashioned and the margarita and they were both delicious. It was a hot day and the drinks were hit the spot.
I really enjoyed BTW. I can’t wait for my next event!

Wooohoooo! Bingo is such a simple care free game, I like how easy it was for everyone to find out a bunch of random facts on each other. Gettin personal real quick haha. It was also nice to see how my +1 (fellow new Unilocaler, Rick Semancik) was able to easily engage with everyone using this care free ice breaker. I really appreciate how BTW reserved their whole venue just for us to freely roam and play for this two hour event. That’s so considerate, and their staff lived up to that standard too! I was sitting on a pedal stool, chillin with my taco, and one of the servers just randomly offered me a refreshing ice cold glass of ice tea! Love it. Although it was incredibly humid without a single cloud in the sky on this beautiful day, all the plans within the outdoor section + the fans made it easy to cool down!
There was PLENTY of food to go around, no need to feel rushed here! Most of the snacks had a kick of fire, such as their salsa dip, chicken sandwich, honey hot wings, even the sauce on their perfectly seasoned fries! I’m seeing a pattern in their flavored here… Haha. The buns to the chicken sandwich were my favorite because of the sweetness and texture. I only wish I had room for seconds! Too bad I already used up whatever space I had left in my stomach for those addictive mahi tacos and pork tacos! I have a HUGE sweet tooth and their creamy vanilla ice cream hit the spot perfectly for me before walking back out into the sun. The berry marmalade complimented the ice cream so well!

That’s right, yes!
Ah! The sweltering heat, the concrete, the traffic and the hotness of the Unilocal Elite converged at BTW. No better place to be if you are able to get in.
Let me get to the point. The pork belly roulade served on the tacos was a very impressive dish. Not only was it melting like butter (or pork fat), but it was so fragrant, it almost felt as if it had been doused with a citrus perfume. That scent was very unlikely for pork belly, and so delicate, I took a whiff with every bite.
Everything else on the menu was pretty outstanding as well, but really what stood out was the efficiency and hospitality of the 50 Eggs group. There wasn’t a moment when food was not circulating. Anyone who went to eat after this event is just a degenerate.
Now, BTW not only brought fire when it came to the bites, but the drinks were also excellent. I had a something-​rita, I think the BTW-​rita, and it was very tasty and effective in getting me loose. I tasted some of the other drinks, had a beer, but never tried the water, which I bet was also excellent, being from SOBE and all.
To top it all, I got a little gift box with a gift card and some chips topped with cinnamon sugar. Wanna know something? I even ate that. I ate it all. I know it was probably decoration, but events where the gifts are edible and yummy got to be the most awesome events you could possibly attend.
Once again, thank you Cassie for the invite. The temperature and the humidity were out of hand, and so were you.
BTW and 50 Eggs family, keep it going.
A S/​O to Sam at the carving station. It was hot and humid, but the passion for gastronomy and hospitality clearly shined through Sam. What a wonderful person!

Lots of new and familiar faces at the BTW elite event! As always I loved the ice breaker bingo game and even scored a great bib/​bag/​possible life vest!
The venue BTW (formerly Lime) is a very cool, laid back, South Beach taco, burger and whiskey eatery. It’s the kind of place you seek refuge after a long day of sun, fun and drinks. Thanks to the awesome management and staff that ensured these Unilocalers were having a great time while munching on endless trays of sliders, chicken tacos, wings, fries, etc!
And a huge thanks to the carving station chef for opening my eyes to the best taco ever!!!

My mouth is still watering when I think about the Swine Burger Sliders (bacon, American cheese, special sauce and dill pickles). I can eat these sliders all day, everyday. I don’t know what else to say except that BTW had creative, delicious food, beautifully presented, and served by professional and friendly staff. Aside form the sliders, my other favorites were the boneless honey hot wings (after eating this, I wonder why ALL hot wings don’t come boneless??), pulled pork sandwich, and most definitely, the pork belly tacos.
The bartenders here make an awesome Old Fashioned. It was a great drink for a warm Miami night. The staff were so warm and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere to socialize with old friends and new. By the end of the night, I was completely full, and I defintely left the event as a happy camper.
Thank you BTW and Cassie for organizing such a wonderful event. Cheers!

This event was nicely organized. All staff was on point consistently asking the Unilocalers if they needed anything … Like their next drink. They made it easy to not have to get up to visit the bar multiple times.
I also noticed they kept things tidy. Walking around and picking up which would make their jobs easier at the end of the night since everything remained clean and spiffy.
I enjoyed seeing the use of their yogurt machine for sundaes. It was fun to see the elites make their own ice cream concoctions. The synergy between the staff and the elites were a match made in Unilocal heaven. Everyone got along and enjoyed themselves to the max.
I also enjoyed seeing the taco station in the back. I did learn that lime is gone and BTW took over. I like what they did with their space. Appropriate using both retail spaces to merge it into one. It was divided perfectly, one part kitchen, one part dining and one part drinking (well, the bar).
The restaurant was also nice enough to keep us coming back for more by presenting us with gift cards. What a smart one! Means you can bring more people to enjoy the best of burgers, tacos and whiskey!
Thanks Cassie & BTW!

I have been lucky enough to attend other events hosted by 50 Eggs, so I know it will be a good evening.
50 Eggs did not disappoint at all. The food, as expected, was delicious, but I found what set them apart from other restaurants is the attitude of the staff. They are just so nice and attentive! The servers keep bringing more food in, and will remember that they didn’t quite make it to us last time and be sure to bring their fresh tray to you next round. They also regularly cleared out the tables, and even brought out glasses of water. That’s rather unheard of. One time my hubby asked the server to pour some water into his empty beer glass. The waiter did, but in a minute came back with a full glass of cold water. How exceptional is that?
Back about the food. The little chicken balls on bamboo sticks are my favorite. I have to restrain myself from taking the whole tray. The sliders and tacos are great too. There is also a station for pork belly tacos. The first time we tried it, the skin was so tough it was like biting on a piece of acrylic. But otherwise the pork is succulent and dripping w juice, and the sauce and cilantro+green onion makes it so delicious. So in spite of the skin we went for a second round, and thankfully this time the skin is crispy. I guess the kitchen still needs to perfect the skin but otherwise it’s among the best tacos I’ve ever had.
I like Michelada, so I am really glad they offer it here. It’s like a beer version of Bloody Mary. There are also four local beers on tap, from Wynwood, Miami and Funky Buddha.

What an awesome time in company of local Miami Unilocalers followed by delicious Burgers, Tacos and Whiskey… Oh my!
The food was simply fabulous… 1,2,3,4,5 Stars!!!
Thank you Cassie for organizing such a fun event! Loved the Ice Breaker game which allowed you to break the ice and meet other local Unilocalers.
Thank you BTW for welcoming us and such amazing service. It was so nice how some of the servers actually approached me asking me if I wanted another round of drinks. They didn’t have to do that! I had never been here before. BTW, just gained a new client!
The food was outstanding! Everything was fresh, and delicious… Wow!
The Swine Burger Slider, Mini Chicken Tacos, Fries, Fish Tacos, Nachos with Salsa, Pulled Pork Belly tacos and bubbly was all amazing!
Let’s not forget to mention the Ice Cream Bar!!! Very cool…
The friend I took also had an amazing time was extremely impressed with the event.
Bravo! SYOY! :D

Another successful creation from the minds of 50 Eggs. These guys don’t need an introduction cause they know how to do food right. Thanks to our CM Cassie for exposing current and new elites to this street food inspired casual grub. My faves:
1) Honey hot wings — boneless & tender, nicely marinated, touch of moonshine ranch. So addictive!
2) Roasted Pulled Pork — bold rub, tender meat on bbq sauce. Very tasty indeed.
3) Nashville Hot Fried Chicken — great seasoning, it wasn’t too greasy, nice crunch. Liked this one a lot so I had a couple.
4) Swine Burger –The Miami Smoker’s bacon was on point together w/​juicy meaty burger & melted cheese. All I can say is WOW so I had a couple as well
5) Duroc Pork Belly Taco Carving Station — Sam was very informative. Explained each component that makes this taco come out alive. Loved the crunchy skin of the pork together with pearl onion, crispy sweet potato, scallion, cilantro. I must have this taco again soon.
BTW also passed around 3 kinds of meat tacos and they were all scrumptious. My least favorite was the Mahi tacos. The flavor didn’t really pop for me. I also had couple of margaritas which were prepped well and got to try their specialty welcome drink Michelada (Corona, Tomato Juice, Worcestershire, Maggi Seasoning, Lime Juice and Salt). It was an interesting drink. I happen to like bloody marys so the taste & texture was somewhat close.
Thanks to the BTW for the abundance of food… It was really over the top! Big hand again to Cassie for organizing yet another yummy event! Another surprise was the $ 15 giftcard which I surely will use this weekend :)

This was my first Elite event, and once again Cassie G and Unilocal hit it out of the park! With South Florida being a melting pot of so many different cultures, it is actually quite difficult to find an abundance of American Gastropub style restaurants, so I was glad when the SYOY @ BTW was booked!
From beef, chicken, and pork sliders, to seasoned fries and ice cream, the chef @ BTW definitely scored big time with the menu selection! I definitely plan on coming back again.
Thanks to BTW, Cassie G and Unilocal for hosting such a great event!

Another wonderful event ! BTW offers a combination interior and exterior hang out spot which is always great in MIA! It’s a very chill place, but because you’re on SoBe, us ladies won’t feel out of place wearing our heals!
The food was amazing. One of my favs was the boneless chicken wings and the pork belly taco. That crunch of the pork skin and the perfectly cooked, juicy pork belly was delightful. I enjoyed the cilantro and onions every much that topped it off. Another favorite was the Mahi taco! Just amazing! Again, toppings were perfect, such a great balance and well thought out combination of flavors. It was great that they offered a corn tortilla option too.
Overall everything’s was excellent I must say. If I keep going I will talk about, the fries (had two cups) and the sliders (that bacon though)…The drinks were strong, especially the BTW margarita! Cassie of course had some fun games for us and the partying gifts were even better. I will be back to use my $ 15 gift coupon!

It’s hard to compete with tacos from Bodega and Huahua’s in SoBe. However, BTW (Burger Tacos Whiskey) surpassed my expectations with their twist on tacos and other street foods.
During the event, we got to taste their ample menu items ranging from wings, sliders, and tacos to their ice cream and delicious cocktails. We were welcomed with a very interesting drink called Michelada which consists of corona, tomato juice, worcestershire, Maggi seasoning, lime juice and salt but were not constrained from ordering any of their libations, which came handy on this hot Miami evening.
Samples were not scarce. In fact, servers were very attentive and constantly offered more snacks. My favorite were the Duroc pork belly tacos with pearl onion escabeche, crispy sweet potato, scallion, and cilantro. These ingredients made for a flavorful, harmonious and rich dish: I can’t wait to come back to BTW for these tacos.
To get the conversation started, I’m glad we played a trivia game as it gave Unilocalers the opportunity to interact and get to know one another better.
Thanks Cassie and BTW for organizing such a great event!

So I’m going to this event looking for the place and figured it should be close to where Lime was, but little did I know it is where Lime used to be!
First of all, everyone was so nice and friendly, the service in general was on point!
This is probably one, if not the only event where there was so much food everyone ate plenty and then some! The sliders were very tasty. The fish tacos needed a little flavor in my opinion but where fairly good! The pulled pork tacos were my favorite!
As far as the drinks go, I had a sweet tea and it was great! I know there were plenty of drinks to go around but I decided to try their non-​alcoholic beverages instead! ;)

This was my first Elite Event and I am so glad I was chosen for BTW. Burger, Tacos, and Whiskey are my favorite things in the world, so coming in I was already ecstatic! Now, I must say that I absolutely loved everything about the event.
First of all, the service was outstanding. The staff was so welcoming and wonderful in every aspect. The bartender even addressed me by my name when I went over the bar to ask for the popular Old Fashioned, and one of the servers commended me for trying a little bit of everything (hehe).
Concerning the food, WOW! Everything I put in my mouth was absolutely delicious! My favorites were definitely the Pulled Pork Sandwich, Swine Burger Sliders, and the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Also, the Old Fashioned was marvelous! It’s now my new favorite drink. The soft serve ice cream was a treat, especially with some oreos.
Thank you Unilocal,BTW, Cassie, and all the wonderful people I met at the event! I really enjoyed myself and I look forward to the upcoming events. I’m so happy I scored some Unilocal stickers and a new shopping bag. Also, I can’t wait to come back for more of those Swine Burger Sliders and Old Fashioned’s!

Better late than never. .but those chicken tacos were oh so worth the wait and the insane traffic on I95. Packed with meat and a subtly spicy sauce, this is what a nicely casual Mexican dinner is made of. The chips, just crispy and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar in the to-​go box were a perfect dessert. or an appetizer for me since I was stuck in the office.
One star for Sergio for being late…:/
I did get to catch up and show my doggie pictures to Kim (yeah for the Unilocalie ice breakers), and chat up with German, Tal, Denise and Diana. Huge thanks to Cassie for letting me come in to the event and showcasing spots that make us fortunate to live where others vacation!

Like many other Unilocalers, this was my first Unilocal Elite event– and it was worth it! Firstly, I want to thank Cassie for organizing such a wonderful event, and BTW for hosting us.
The food was incredible, but the most memorable items for me were the pork belly tacos, and the old fashions. Thank you Natalie! The drinks were strong, but mixed so well you wouldn’t think so ;)
The pork belly taco had a wonderful balance of fatness and meat, with just enough acidity to cut the fat. So wonderful! The Kobe beef sliders were also uh-​may-​zing. The staff was also incredible! Never saw anything off point for more than a second!
The food was flavorful and paired so wonderfully with the Wynwood brewery beers on draft. I met so many wonderful people, and I am so happy I was able to attend this event. I mean after all, who doesn’t love Beer, Tacos, & Whiskey? Thanks BTW & the Unilocal Elite squad!
