Each year on Anthony Bourdain’s birthday—June 25th—the world celebrates his life through food, travel, stories, and good times. For the past couple of years, my husband and I have headed over to the Smorgasburg open-air food market in Wynwood on Anthony Bourdain Day to sample treats and dishes from talented local chefs and cooks. Here are a few photos from the event this year:
It was raining when we got to Wynwood, so we hung out in J Wakefield Brewing for a little bit.

First stop was The Wrapper for a hummus tabouleh wrap

I don’t usually go for sweet foods at street fairs, but I couldn’t pass up churros and ice cream from Santo Dulce
