Joining Cantina La Veinte’s Executive Chef Santiago Gomez will be some of Miami’s top talents in the kitchen—like Norman Van Aken of Three, Diego Oka of La Mar, Deme Lomos of Niu Kitchen and Arson, Carlos Garcia of Obra Kitchen Table, and Sebastian La Roca of CVLTVRA. Here’s a sneak peek of just some of the Art Basel-inspired dishes guests can get excited about: Florida Tripletail Art Attack with a turnip-beet and a turnip-cilantro purée; La Flor de Papa, a potato causa with beets, Jerusalem artichoke salad, and a stone crab tartare; and Seafood Arroz Pegado with grilled octopus and prawns.
