The annual Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival is basically here. The national, star-studded, four-day destination event begins February 19th. Putting attention on the world’s most renowned wine and spirits makers, chefs and culinary personalities. The beach will be jam packed with top chefs and the best culinary minds in the world. Food Network stars Emeril Lagasse, Rachael Ray, Tyler Florence; Iron Chefs Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, Cat Cora; Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio and previous Top Chef contestants Hung Huynh and Howie Kleinberg, will be few among many. Each day and night Miami Beach will be host to private events, luxurious parties, charity affairs and cocktail soirees in the name of Wine & Food. The best parts of the Food Network Wine & Food Festival are sold out but there are still tickets available for the less publicized happenings, google it. We will be in the mix of the festival, bringing you highlights and scene-y things. You know, who eats, who doesn’t eat, who gets sloshed, the best chefs, the worst and so on. This hurts a little to say but if you can’t drink it and taste it, at least, we can. And we will tell you all about it. If you already have your tickets then you’ve probably stopped eating to start saving room for the wine and food. The decadence is here, yum!
