Burger Bash

The event that put us on the map is back and better than ever as Festival favorite Emeril Lagasse takes center stage to present the most epic burger showdown to date - BAM! Join the larger-than-life chef and television personality under the North Venue's iconic white tents - along with a passionate panel of judges including Robert Irvine, Phil Rosenthal, Nicole Gates, Jawan Strader, Ming Tsai, and Dave Portnoy - who'll be on hand to crown one very talented chef with the coveted Schweid & Sons The Very Best Burger Award. But that's not all - YOU get to decide who wins the equally prestigious People's Choice Award after indulging in this year's carefully curated menu of over 30 mouthwatering burgers and side dishes prepared by some of South Florida's most acclaimed chefs and restaurants. The vibe, you ask? Smooth country, thanks to a special performance from Midland, the Grammy-nominated group known for their signature sound, which Rolling Stone calls "a mix of George Strait, 'Urban Cowboy' and Seventies yacht rock." Remember, it's a marathon - not a sprint - so grab a drink, take a breath, and let your taste buds be your guide!

Grand Tasting

Every February, something miraculous takes place along the sunny shores of South Beach. Those iconic white tents pop up like springtime blooms, forming a seaside city that is vibrant, expansive and, well, grand . And no matter how long you've lived in South Florida or how many times you've attended the Festival, you can't help but be bowled over by its sheer majesty. We're of course talking about SOBEWFF 's marquee event, Goya Foods' Grand Tasting Village featuring Publix Culinary Demonstrations sponsored by Sub-Zero Group Southeast. As you walk through the venue, which takes up a whopping three city blocks, you'll find so much to savor including vibey live music, dynamic brand activations from some of the Festival's most innovative sponsors, and even some nifty, under-the-radar products from a wide range of gourmet exhibitors. And of course, a stellar cast of chefs and Food Network personalities - the newest stars and your beloved favorites - will be on hand as they hit the beach to prepare some of their signature dishes at the interactive Publix Culinary Demonstrations sponsored by Sub-Zero Group Southeast.
