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.
