The 18th-Annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) brought a slew of new events to our South Florida shores this year, and like all of them, BACARDI’S Beach Carnival was a total hit. Taking place on the sand behind the dazzling The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach {1 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach; 786.276.4000}, this adult-friendly carnival was hosted by none other than James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, food writer, teacher, and host of Travel Channel’s Bizzare Foods: Andrew Zimmern.

As we entered the tents, we were greeted by festive fire-eaters, jugglers, circus conductors, and glittered dancers right on the sand. Popular carnival games like ping pong, ski-ball, and mallet games were scattered between 20+ food and drink booths; a live DJ; full Grey Goose, Heineken, and BACARDI bars; and at the other end of the tent, the main stage. While Mr. Nice Guy kept everyone moving and shaking, a special on-stage jam sesh with Zimmern himself had fans screaming with joy. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., we filled our bellies a mix of fun-tastic carnival fare from popular chefs and vendors, most of which were from right here in Miami. And considering our mouths are still watering, it’s safe to say we liked what we found.

Here are some of our favorite bites at SOBEWFF’s first-ever BACARDI’s Beach Carnival:

S’mores Cookie
Ooey-gooey s’mores cookie filled with chocolate chips, graham crackers, and marshmallows

Richard Sandoval of Toro Toro


Sit-down dinners are the stuff of legends at the 18th-Annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF)and we were so excited to attend last night’s Dinner hosted by Aarón Sánchez and Richard Sandoval (part of The NYT Cooking Dinner Series) at Toro Toro {100 Chopin Plaza, Downtown Miami; 305.372.4710}. After a contractual agreement unfortunately pulled Chopped judge, Heat Seekers co-star, and host of Cooking Channel’s Emmy-nominated Taco Trip, Aarón Sánchez, away from SOBEWFF at the last minute, we were blessed with an equally-wonderful replacement: four-time James Beard award-winning TV personality and the fun and friendly host of Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods, Andrew Zimmern!
When we arrived, we were sent to the bar for a Reception, where we were treated to glasses of Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec 2017 and the wine host’s spin on an Aperol Spritz, a Terrazas Spritz Blanco with Aperol and Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Torrontés 2017. Passed hors d’oeuvres—like Gulf Tuna Tostadas with Cajun caviar and Chorizo and Roasted Plantain Empanadas from Aarón Sánchez, and Short Rib Mini Tacos and White Coconut Ceviche Spoons from Richard Sandoval—accompanied these welcome drinks, making for a yummy start to a delicious dinner ahead.
And while Andrew Zimmern may have replaced Aarón Sánchez, dinner guests still got to enjoy the original, collaborative Mexican-Latin fusion menu from both the Chopped judge and the talented Richard Sandoval, a famed cookbook author, restaurateur, and the mastermind behind Downtown Miami’s Toro Toro. In fact, working the kitchen all night long was Executive Chef Miles Landrem (of Aarón Sánchez’ popular restaurant, Johnny Sánchez), Richard Sandoval, and the whole Toro Toro kitchen team.
Here’s what we ate and drank:
Scallop Aguachile by Aarón Sánchez
Wine pairing: Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Chardonnay 2017
Huitlacoche and Urbani Truffle Tamales by Aarón Sánchez
with a roasted corn sauce
Wine pairing: Terrazas de los Andes Single Vineyard Las Compuertas Malbec 2014
Pan Roasted Chilean Sea Bass by Richard Sandoval
with Pipian sauce
Wine pairing: Terrazas de los Andes Single Vineyard Los Aromos Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Corn Cake with Hibiscus by Richard Sandoval
with cinnamon ice cream
Wine pairing: Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Torrontés 2017
This event was hosted in part by Terrazas de los Andes wine, as well as Toro Toro, The Intercontinental Miami, BADOIT, Evian, The New York Times, and The New York Times Cooking.

What do you get when you combine one world-famous chef, a beautiful Miami evening, a stunning, over-the-top hotel, and tables and tables of fire-grilled meats and vegetables? A spectacular dinner. Add that the chef is the unbelievable Francis Mallmann and the hotel is the dazzling Faena Miami Beach {3201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.534.8800}and you have a night that’s beyond compare.
On Thursday, February 21, 2019, Francis Mallmann, the chef and restaurateur behind Faena’s Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann {3201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 786.655.5610}, welcomed Miami’s finest to wine and dine under the stars at his unofficial festival event, “An Evening with Francis Mallmann—Asado Dome Dinner.” We were so honored to be among them!
In town for the 18th-Annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF), South America’s “Master of Fire”—known across the globe for his passionate spirit, rustic ingredients, and open-flame culinary techniques—delighted us all with an asado, the meat-centric BBQs of South America Mallmann is famous for. Taking it one step further, he led guests on a sensory journey by constructing his signature six-foot wire dome, on which he used fire and traditional Patagonian cooking methods to roast hanging Bone-In Rib-Eye, Fresh Whole Salmon, Organic Chicken, and other meats and proteins to peak smokiness, succulence and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. All around the dome, long tables were piled high with any side you could crave: like different salads, charred whole carrots, Vegetables ‘Rescoldo,’ Mallmann’s famous Domino Potatoes, and more.
And to answer your next question, yes… it was all as delicious as it sounds.

As if the long wooden tables dotted with deep red roses, all in the hotel’s enchanting Path of the Warrior, weren’t enough, a live band set the ambiance with seductive songs that kept guests swaying like Miami Beach palm trees in the wind. Well-dressed waiters swirled around the courtyard with Spanish-inspired Kalimotxo cocktails, glasses of Faena’s small-batch Malbec and Torrontes Argentine wines, and at the end of the night, dessert. Even then, fire and indulgence was still the theme. We all enjoyed a perfectly-charred ‘Panqueque’ de Dulce de Leche dessert with fire-roasted pineapple, offering a sweet ending to a sweet first night of SOBEWFF 2019.

Michael Symon and famous friends at Tacos After Dark 2019

This year, we kicked off the 18th-Annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) with one of the fête’s favorite late-night events: Tacos After Dark! Taking place at the dazzling Loews Miami Beach {1601 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.604.1601}, and back by popular demand, this taco-and-tequila fest was hosted by none other than famed chef, restaurateur, Food Network personality, cookbook author, and self-proclaimed carnivore: Michael Symon.

As we walked around the hotel’s pool area, we filled our bellies a mix of treats from popular chefs and vendors, both from right here in Miami and abroad. And what we found did not disappoint—like a make-your-own paloma booth, a Tequila Cazadores margarita booth, a live DJ, and 20+ chefs with more tacos than you have time to crave.

While we’re still recovering from our taco-induced food coma, here’s a rundown of the bites we can’t wait to eat again:

La Juana Taco
with steak, queso, white onion, cilantro, and salsa verde, in a blue corn tortilla
From: Pilo’s Street Tacos {1216 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.800.TACO}

Thai Pork Soft Taco

From: Jamie Bissonnette and Little Donkey {505 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA; 617.945.1008}

Quesadilla
with huitlacoche and crispy cheese
From: Taquiza {1351 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach}

Cochinita Pibil Taco

From: Coyo Taco {2300 NW 2 Avenue, Wynwood; 305.573.8228}

From: Loews Miami Beach {1601 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.604.1601}

Salumeria 104


Trying to escape the SOBEWFF madness? While we love all things SOBEWFF, that has its perks, too.
Fortunately, Miami has a slew of great restaurants in and out of the festival! Here are five of our favoritesnone of which are anywhere near this weekend’s events:
Costa Med Bistro + Wine: If you’re looking for some peace and quiet while you eat, Key Biscayne is always a safe bet! And when you’re out there, there’s no better place to go for hearty Italian cuisine than Costa Med Bistro + Wine {260 Crandon Boulevard, Suite #46, Key Biscayne; 305.361.7575}. To celebrate sidestepping the SOBEWFF traffic, opt for the Pear & Gorgonzola Ravioli, the Pappardelle ai Funghi Porcini, or the perfectly-grilled Veal Chop with your choice of a side. (We recommend the Quinoa and French Lentil Salad.) And not that we need to tell you, but the restaurant’s extensive wine list pairs well with all of it.  
BLT Prime: For good meat and an old-fashioned steakhouse dinner, BLT Prime {4400 NW 87 Avenue, Doral; 305.591.6606} is just what you need. Grab a seat outside, overlooking the golf course, and your perfectly-charred lunch or dinner will rival the views. Start with the restaurant’s famous Poppers, and take your pick of any of its specialty red meats. There are plenty to choose from—like a 28-day, dry-aged NY Strip and a 20-ounce Kansas City cut, to three cuts of American-style Kobe beef—and a range of house-made sauces, from steak, horseradish, and three-mustards BBQ, to peppercorn, bernaise, red wine, and chimichurri.  
Caffe Abbracci: This iconic Coral Gables spot caters to locals and visiting A-listers (hi, President Obama!) alike. Owned by Nino Pernetti, a restaurateur from Lake Garda, Italy, Caffe Abbracci {318 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables; 305.441.0700} invites you to grab a streetside table and transport to Italy with just one bite of pasta. Favorites on the menu? Parma Prosciutto and Burrata; homemade Tortellini “Tatiana” with Asiago cheese, stewed pear, and a light Prosecco pink sauce; Risotto with Champagne and asparagus; Colorado Baby Lamb Chops with dry cherries and Cognac; and of course, Traditional Tiramisu with layers of ladyfingers soaked in espresso.
Old Lisbon: When you want good Portuguese, you go to Old Lisbon {1698 SW 22 Street, Miami; 305.854.0039}. Tucked away on Coral Way, and far away from all things SOBEWFF, this neighborhood staple serves plates like Carne de Porco à Alentejanaa pork tenderloin stew with potatoes, clams, pickled vegetables, and a white-wine garlic sauce—or Feijoada de Marisco, a white bean stew with clams, shrimp, mussels, squid, and sausage, in an open, rustic-style dining room. The wine cellar is filled with Old World bottles and Portuguese brews, all of which the knowledgeable staff can pair with whatever tasty dish you order.
Salumeria 104: Based on the Italian “trattoria” concept, set in the vein of a small neighborhood “salumi” shop, Salumeria 104 {3451 NE 1 Avenue #104, Midtown; 305.424.9588} serves up fresh homemade pastas and Italian products. Menu hits include: Spaghetti alla Bottarga, Lasagna del Salumiere with bolognese and Béchamel, Porchetta wrapped in crispy pork belly, Tiramisu with mascarpone cream and cocoa, and more. When you’re not eating (and we can’t blame you, if you are), peruse the unique cured meats, cheeses, Italian olives, baguettes, and more, all for sale in Midtown Miami’s own neighborhood “trattoria.”
