Our 2016 South Beach Food and Wine Festival Picks

Chef Marcus Samuelsson is a highly decorated top chef with an exotic background as his cooking. He was born in Ethiopia then raised in Sweden by his adoptive Swedish parents when he fell in love with coocking.

After relocating to the US in the early 90s, his passion for food flourished to the point where he hosted the first State Dinner for the US president Barack Obama and the India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2009! He marvelously brings out the tastes of Africa by incorporating Ethiopian and African ingredients into his cooking style.

Chef Emeril Lagasse is perhaps the most popular personality on the Food Network channel with his famous Emeril Live show. As another top chef with a diverse background, he was born to French-Canadian and Portuguese parents.

His signature catchphase “BAM!” will definitely make you scream it when your see him in action! His cooking style consist of a mix of Portuguese, French, and Cajun, that results in mouthwatering creative dishes.

Chef Guy Fieri is unlike any other food celebrity. With his eccentric look, you can easily spot him in any crowd and wonder if this guy should be taken serious. He is as serious as literally being the most popular face on the Food Network!

As a strong supporter of homestyle cooking, the world’s Diners and Drive-in restaurants owe him their regained popularity in recent years. His passion for American-style grills and barbecues is reflected in any dish he touches.
