BOCA RATON— The forecast for Saturday night calls for "Hot and Sweaty", but not just because it's the middle of August. That's the name of the meatball eating contest Wicked Awesome Snacks is having, and they're lacing some of the chicken 'balls with peppers that are sure to pack some heat.The grand prize is one of every type of craft beer on their list. The showdown starts at 7p.m. [Clean Plate Charlie]

MIAMI BEACH— Sundays are meant to be lazy, which is why The Standard Spa, Miami Beach's weekly Lazy Sunday BBQ is so fitting.
