Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) August 27, 2014
In response to the growing popularity of the annual “John Offerdahl’s Broward Health® Gridiron Grill-Off Food, Wine & Tailgate Festival,” event organizers have partnered with the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa to introduce an exclusive package for out-of-town guests. The Gridiron Grill-Off Weekend Package includes a two-night stay at the luxurious oceanfront property, two tickets to the Gridiron Grill-Off and value-added amenities.
Food aficionados will appreciate the delicious culinary delights featured as part of the 5th annual Gridiron Grill-Off. An impressive line-up of Miami Dolphins legends and critically acclaimed South Florida chefs—including Chef Daniel Gerety, executive chef at McCoy’s Oceanfront at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa—will team up to create signature grilled entrées paired with premium Gallo wines. Attendees will also enjoy The Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Tailgate Zone, Guy Harvey’s Sustainable Seafood Village and compete in the Southeast Toyota Cornhole Stadium.
“We are thrilled to work with the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa to offer the Gridiron Grill-Off Weekend Package, which will appeal to food-lovers and football fans from near and far,” said John Offerdahl, event founder and former Miami Dolphins All-Pro Linebacker. “Visitors will get the best of both worlds, enjoying beachfront accommodations and a culinary experience with popular football legends.”
Conveniently located just north of Fort Lauderdale with a stunning beachfront backdrop, the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa provides a luxurious hotel experience with 219 stately ocean view rooms. This must-stay destination offers unparalleled hospitality and amenities, such as SiSpa, the resort’s sanctuary for the body and spirit and McCoy’s Oceanfront, which offers a sumptuous seafood-driven menu in a casual atmosphere.
In addition to ocean view accommodations and tickets to the culinary event, the Gridiron Grill-Off Weekend Package will also include roundtrip shuttle service to the Festival and 20% off of beach watersport rentals and spa treatments at SiSpa. The Gridiron Grill-Off Weekend Package at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa starts at $400*, plus tax. Guests can make their reservation online utilizing the “Promotional” code ER7.
“We are glad to once again participate in the Gridiron Grill-Off and expose a new group of foodies to this huge local event,” said Susan Aichele-Sanders, director of sales and marketing for Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa. “Our proximity to the Festival makes this an ideal partnership and a win-win for visitors to the area who can enjoy beautiful accommodations and a festive day of good food, drink and entertainment.”
This tribute to football, food and charity benefits Offerdahl’s Hand-Off Foundation, which directs funds to agencies that “Feed the Needs of Kids in Crisis,” including 4KIDS of South Florida, HOPE South Florida, Here’s Help, Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association Educational Foundation, Miami Dolphins Foundation and Taste of the NFL.
