My name is Sef Gonzalez, but you can call me the Burger Beast.
In September of 2008 I opened up a blog with the hopes to document my food excursions around South Florida and beyond. I didn’t expect to get the reception that I did from readers and from there we were off.
Don’t forget to come check out the many Culinary Events that I curate and produce throughout the year.
