A Dinner and a Showdown With Food Network Star Chef Robert Irvine

This year, one of the best events at the festival is Crabs, Slabs, & Cabs, which takes place on Thursday, October 24, at the Loews Miami Beach. If you’re in town, this is a great opportunity to visit the Nichols Architects-designed hotel and taste the best that South Beach has to offer.

The event has been completely revamped and now features a six-course pairing dinner crafted and prepared by not one or two but eight renowned Miami-based chefs. The cherry on top? The event is hosted by popular Food Network star and chef Robert Irvine from Food Network’s Restaurant: Impossible and Goya Food’s executive chef Fernando Desa.

The featured chefs who will each contribute a dish for the pairing dinner are Sean Brasel of Meat Market, Jose Mendin of Casa Isola and Pubbelly Sushi, Marco Cannata of Zuma, Peter Vauthy of Red South Beach, Juan Alfonso Urrutia of Osaka Nikkei, as well as venue host, Christopher Aguirre of Loews Miami Beach.

Then, come Friday, October 25, Irvine will use his charisma and fiery personality to host everyone’s favorite event of all, the VIP Chef Showdown presented by Tequila Herradura.
