J.Mark’s and 17 other Fort Lauderdale restaurants recently competed in the Sips & Sliders at Sunset event which benefited the Jack & Jill Children’s Center, a non-profit organization that offers an accredited program which supports the intellectual, emotional, physical and social development of young children.
The other slider specialists included Himmarshee Bar & Grille, Johnny V Restaurant Mancini’s, Rocco’s Tacos, Big City Tavern, Market 17, 3030 Ocean, Blue Moon Fish Co., Casa D’ Angelo, China Grill, Rare, Casablanca Café, J. Mark’s, Anthony’s Runway 84, Noodles Panini, America’s Backyard and The Grateful Palate.
Though their sliders were very creative and tasteful, only one restaurant could take the crown of culinary slider master — J. Mark’s took first place overall with a Slow Roasted Prime Rib Slider.
The entries were reviewed by an elite panel of judges at YOLO including South Florida celebrities and culinary geniuses as well as the many local residents and restaurant patrons in attendance. Esteemed slider judges included Jack Seiler, Lisa Morales, WSVN’s Weather Anchor Julie Durda, New Times Editor Deirdra Funcheon and Miami Dolphins player Anthony Fasano.
This isn’t J.Mark’s first award. The establishment has been voted “Best Restaurant of South Florida” and offers a variety of Certified Angus Beef Steaks, Fresh Daily Seafood selections and Happy Hour daily from 2-6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to close with half-priced drink specials. They also offer a cooked-to-order weekend Brunch Menu featuring six different Eggs Benedict and their famous Spicy Bloody Marys.
J.Mark’s has two locations- in Pompano Beach or Fort Lauderdale and are locally owned and operated by Steven Mark Wilson and his team. Please visit Jmarksrestaurant.com for further information.
