For one night, at least, kosher will once again star at the annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival, which just announced its 2017 lineup.
More of the Week’s Dish:
New Orleans chef Alon Shaya, whose namesake restaurant is a James Beard Award winner, will host “Burnt Ends,” a kosher barbecue dinner at Miami’s Chabad center downtown. Zak Stern of Miami’s kosher Zak the Baker will join the Glatt Kosher event.
The festival takes place February 22-26 at venues across Miami Beach. Tickets go on sale October 24. And yes, they do sell out that fast. More at the Miami Herald.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
