February 22 is right around the corner, and that means the 16^th-annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF®) will be here before we know it. While this delicious event bombards Miami and Fort Lauderdale with 90+ celebrity events, unusual dinners, tastings, chef lectures, late-night parties, the new Dave Grutman Experience, bar events, beach soirées, and more, at the heart of it all is how it all began: Goya Foods’ Grand Tasting Village. As you walk around and taste samples from more than 55 of Miami’s hottest restaurants, be sure to stop by the KitchenAid Culinary Demonstration stages to see an all-star line up of TV chefs and culinary personalities you’ve been dying to ogle over in real life.
Read below for the stars and celebrities you can expect to see onstage at Miami’s biggest foodie event of the year. (Don’t worry, we’ll be ogling too!)
