Two of Miami’s top chefs will head west to the California coast this April—and they’re bringing a taste of their iconic Miami restaurants with them! From April 11-14, the renowned 12th-Annual Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival will once again bring together 100 of the world’s top celebrity chefs and 250 acclaimed wineries to showcase some of the world’s best food and wine.
