Denison Sponsors South Florida Festival [Gridiron Grill-Off]

Denison Yachting proudly sponsored the 10^th annual Walgreens Gridiron Grill-Off Food, Wine and Music Festival, which took place on November 9th, 2019. Every year a mix of top chefs from the tri-county area and former Miami Dolphins players gather together to compete in a grilling competition. Denison broker Drew Offerdahl has been highly involved with the grill-off since its inception, and this was Denison’s 5^th year sponsoring the event.

This festival was founded by former Miami Dolphins player, John Offerdahl, who also owns the Offferdahl’s Off-The-Grill chain. Not only does this festival draw in a huge crowd, but it benefits the Offferdahl’s Hand-Off Foundation, which this year partnered with Taste of the NFL’s Kick Hunger Challenge, matching every dollar raised for food banks.

This festival featured various events throughout the day, including a Brett Young concert, a celebrity cornhole tournament, and tailgating. But no event was more exciting than the Grand Grill-Off, where 22 high-end restaurants paired up with 22 Miami Dolphins former players to create the ultimate dish, paired with the perfect wine or cocktail. Guests sampled the dishes and interacted with some of their favorite legendary athletes. Denison broker Drew Offerdahl has seen the grill-off grow since it’s inception 10 years ago, and loved taking part in the events this weekend.

“Rain or shine (mostly rain this year), the chefs, football legends, and fans always seem to have a blast and create an energy that’s really special and keeps you coming back. The best part is knowing all funds go towards feeding the needs of those here in South Florida. I’m already fasting for next year!” – Drew Offerdahl, South Florida Denison Yacht Broker
