Sitting on sunny Miami Beach, DIRT {232 Fifth Street, Miami Beach; 305.239.3000} is the Magic City’s latest attempt to join the clean-eating training–and so far, everyone is on board. Priding itself on serving fine foods fast, DIRT whips up clean, sustainable, local, and organic fare that reflects its passion and respect for people, food, and the planet as a whole.
Next Wednesday, May 11, from 8pm to 10pm, this health-inspired haunt is giving you another reason to visit. Hosted with JoJo Tea, this five-course wine and tea-paired dinner prepared by DIRT Chef Nicole Votano promises farm-to-table food and small-batch teas guaranteed to leave your taste buds bursting with flavor. And to make this unique pairing event even more unique, the tea chosen for each course will actually be incorporated into the recipe of the farm-to-table dish it is paired with. It’s an indulgent yet thoughtful dinner like Miami Beach has never seen before.
