"At The Biltmore Hotel (1200 Anastasia Avenue, Coral Gables) I experienced the Goya open-fire cook-off: a three-hour event featuring over 20 local chefs (including Carlos Garcia of Leku, Josh Elliott of QT Tapas, and Rick Mace from Tropical Smokehouse) with dishes cooked over open flames, beverage pairings, and live entertainment, culminating in a crowd-voted Heritage Hero; tickets run $125–$175 and the Heritage Hero Grand Finalé will be at the 2024 South Beach Wine & Food Festival." - Alona Martinez
