Fort Lauderdale

Spanish for “the waves,’’ this 2.5-mile boulevard got its name because it begins at Las Olas Beach and runs past many waterways. Let Lip Smacking lead your valued group of clients on a culinary tour de force along this palm tree-lined stretch of downtown, famed for its bars, nightclubs, boutiques, art galleries, luxury high-rise condos, and renowned restaurants with al fresco dining.

Popular with tourists and locals alike, restaurants here are always packed. With Lip Smacking’s exclusive partnerships with them, however, your group will receive immediate access to three top restaurants, all in one smooth and convenient experience, complete with VIP service from start to finish.

At each restaurant, they’ll be greeted warmly by an attentive staff ready to ensure every detail is perfect. All they need do is sit back to enjoy a parade of dishes, especially curated to highlight the most signature creations at each venue. Moreover, they’ll have the opportunity to sit next to different colleagues at each establishment, allowing for easy, free-flowing conversation and networking.

The first stop is Catch & Cut, which opened just this year. It is overseen by Chef-Partner André Bienvenu, the former executive chef at famed Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach for 26 years. With that impeccable pedigree, it’s no surprise that this soaring, two-story restaurant specializes in the finest, freshest seafood, including local stone crab. It also features exemplary meat from Allen Brothers, the Chicago purveyor of hand-cut, aged USDA prime steaks.

Next, it’s a taste of Argentina at Baires Grill, the official restaurant of the Argentina National Football Team, and a favorite of forward and captain, the great Lionel Messi. No wonder, as it’s always a lively time at this elegant restaurant that serves Argentinian specialties, including beef and seafood cooked on a smoking grill. The original Miami restaurant proved so successful that it prompted openings in Fort Lauderdale, other South Florida cities, and in New York.

The last stop is Louie Bossi’s, an Italian trattoria inspired by the traditions of the convivial Italian-American restaurants in New York and Chicago. It was founded by Chef Louie Bossi, an Italian-American who was raised in New York by a single mom who juggled three jobs yet managed to feed her family scratch-made meals. To help out, Bossi taught himself how to cook at age 8.  As a pre-teen, he started working as a dishwasher at his neighborhood pizzeria before eventually becoming a cook. Over the years, he’s been named one of the “10 Best Chefs in Broward County’’ by the Broward Palm Beach New Times. His restaurant was recognized for “Best Pizza in Broward’’ by Thrillist. Bossi takes pride in making his own pastas, pizzas, and salumi in-house. In fact, he is certified in Neapolitan Style pizza, and won second place at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas in 2016.

To make this experience as effortless and enjoyable as possible, a highly trained professional guide leads the way to each restaurant, offering insightful and entertaining facts and stories along the way.

An optional beverage package is available that provides a pre-selected craft cocktail promptly at every establishment. While guests are free to order their own drink at each restaurant, this convenient package guarantees no waiting or disruptions.

With your appetite duly primed, it’s time to savor a tasting-menu from Famous Foods Street Eats, the lively street-food market hall that garnered Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition for its high-quality food. Get ready for three superlative dishes, served fresh and hot immediately.

Instead of struggling to navigate this hive of energy and activity on your own, let Lip Smacking pave a smooth path for your important clients and guests by creating the one-of-a-kind dining extravaganza that they deserve.
