Here is this week’s Miami food news: 

Monday, November 5 to Wednesday, November 7: Get The Big Macch at Macchialina
The Big Macch is back! Head to Macchialina {820 Alton Road, Miami Beach; 305.534.2124} for this limited-edition burger. It packs a toasted Sullivan Street Bakery bun with a grass-fed beef, Red Top Farms chuck brisket- and sirloin-blend patty, Italian Fontina Val d’Aosta cheese, sautéed porcini mushrooms, salsa Genovese, oven roasted shallots, and a gratuitous amount of summer truffles. As you’d expect, this culinary masterpiece is the brainchild of none other than Macchialina Managing Partner and Executive Chef, Michael Pirolo. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 305.534.2124. There are a limited number of burgers each night, so it’s important to reserve your burger when you reserve your seat.

Wednesday, November 7: One Year Anniversary Dinner at Three
James Beard Award-winning chef, Norman Van Aiken has a restaurant in Wynwood, Three {50 NW 24 Street, Wynwood; 305.748.4540}, and this Wednesday, it’s celebrating its first anniversary! Kicking off with a cocktail reception, this five-course wine-pairing dinner will have all the cooking styles and flavors Chef Norman is known for. Prepared by the man himself, the menu will include: Key West Pink Shrimp Moqueca with vadouvan farofa, Jamison Farm Lamb and Carrot Pibil with sheep’s milk yogurt and spiced lamb jus, and Maitake Mushroom BBQ with Florida rice congee and burnt onion dashi, to name a few. Tickets are priced at $175 per person and can be purchased here.

Friday, November 9: Le Dîner en Blanc
Every foodie knows about Le Dîner en Blanc, and this Friday, it’s coming back to Miami! This exciting, “secret” event doubles as one of the world’s chicest dinner parties. Like it does in every city, in-the-know locals who are lucky enough to get on the list will gather at a secret meeting location—dressed in all-white and carrying white tables, chairs and table settings—and make their way to a public space of the organizer’s choosing. (Participants never know where it is until they get there!) Then, to the innocent bystander, it all happens like a dream. Everyone sets up their tables, pulls out their own food, and within minutes, the empty space turns into a giant dinner party. With the wave of a napkin, everyone begins dining together; and when sparklers are lit, those same diners start to mingle and dance. When the night ends, as if it were all imagined, every guest picks up everything they brought with them, including their trash, and leaves the space looking like no one was ever even there. Voilà! Full details about the event’s rules and regulations can be found here.
Happy dining!
