James Beard's Taste America Coming To Miami Next Month
We go giddy at the thought of a food festival. So too, apparently, do the people at the James Beard Foundation, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary with festivals in 20 American cities, all on September 28-29. Miami happens to be one of these cities. Here's a rundown of the events planned for the weekend:
• A gala at Azul at the Mandarin Oriental with food from James Beard Award-winning chefs Norman Van Aken and Mark Militello, among others. Tickets for the event, which is limited to 100 people, are $240 per person.
• A cooking demonstration by Azul's chef Clay Conley at the Williams-Sonoma in Merrick Park
• A cookbook signing by Norman Van Aken
• A festival marketplace, where visitors can talk to local farmers and artisans
