Take Tales of Tantalizing Tastes and Aromas, part of the Miami Events series, is devoted to chronicling some of the narratives behind the city’s extensive and varied food scene – from the colorful street food stalls and markets of Little Havana and Little Haiti to the high-end gourmet restaurants in downtown Miami. From elegant French eateries to hip Mexican diner-inspired cantinas and hole-in-the-wall Holika pie joints, each dish tells a story of cultural origins and culinary history, emotional memory, and sensory craftsmanship.
Miami is a hotbed of influences. An assortment of people and cultures can cater to any appetite: taste the bold spices of Cuban food, the fresh zest of the Caribbean, or the subtle refinement of European influences, all within the confines of the city. This series explores how Miami, in a short time, has become a cradle of many culinary traditions. The food scene in Miami is vibrant, varied, and voracious in the way it happily melds its influences.
But throughout ‘The Tales of Tantalising Tastes and Aromas’, you’ll find not just the food, but the tales behind the food, the chefs who prepare it, their stories, their journeys, the secrets of their ingredients and cooking techniques that make each journey special.
So, come with Miami Events as we take you on an olfactory and gustatory tour around Miami, using our taste buds and noses to uncover the juiciest stories that the Magic City’s trade infrastructure has brought to our plates. You don’t have to be a foodie to enjoy the pleasure of new tastes, nor does joining this series require any prior knowledge about gastronomy – but it will undoubtedly enrich your palate and make it more knowledgeable about the foods we love.
