Goya Food’s Swine and Wine

I’ve been to quite a few SOBEWFF events over the years… Mostly on the beach. They’ve all been great, although a bit overwhelming. I didn’t know events were held at other locations in Miami.
This event has been my favorite! So good, I think it’s worth the full price of the ticket. It wasn’t overcrowded like most of the other events and you didn’t need to stand in lines to sample the dishes. The atmosphere was happy and lively including a live latin band and some of the best mojitos I’ve ever had.
Every dish I tried was delicious and all of the chefs were so friendly. I think the fact that it’s a smaller event allows the chefs to interact with people. I even learned about some restaurants I hadn’t heard of that were serving delicious food like the recently opened Bocce Bar’s Spicy Pancetta Pork. And I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious Bongo Café’s Traditional Cuban Noche Buena was (Slow Roasted Pork, maduros, and moros).
One of my favorite parts was the dessert tables at the end. So many delicious things and so little room in my stomach. One of the tables was from Alisa’s Cupcakery and they had the most delicious «everything» cookie — Pretzels, potato chips, chocolate chips, toffee, filled with dark chocolate ganache. It was the perfect combination of salty and sweet!
Needless to say, I was beyond stuffed at the end of the night and can’t wait to come back next year.
Thanks so much to Johnny T. for the tickets… I am ever grateful!
