South Beach
I just got back from the South Beach Food and Wine Festival, where the flavors and sushine were abundant! I was there to emcee the Kidz Kitchen, and not only intro the six amazing chefs who cooked live for the kids over the course of the festival, but to share a little message about our Food Network partnership with Share our Strength. It was great fun getting the crowd of enthusiastic mini chefs up and dancing to the tune of
I'm off to teach another Operation Frontline class in just a few minutes, but I'll be back Monday with some more great scoop. Meanwhile, while I nurse my sunshine withdrawl, I'll tell you a few of my favorite things from South Beach: Best Thing I tasted: Zak Pelaccio's Smoked Fat Burger made with smoked fat back and ground beef, served with a shot of whiskey cocktail (clearly Zak did not hear my Kidz Kitchen talk about good nutrition, but he makes excellent "in moderation" foods!) Best Thing I learned: By a stroke of luck, I ran into Mark Ladner, who shared that his secret to his succulent octopus is multiple tenderizing techniques, including beating and cooking with a cork! Favorite Demo: A tie between Guy Fieri and Giada De Laurentiis in the Kidz Kitchen. Guy's energy and chemistry with the kids was second to none, but a very pregnant Giada answered questions about everything from how she got on the Food Network to what she'll name her baby with her usual grace and charm!
