Food Truck Battle / Wine on Harvest Moon
Deering Estate Fundraiser - October 23
The next week, two of Miami's mobile chefs take their trucks to the
Deering Estate to duel it out as part of the Deering Estate Foundation's annual "Wine on Harvest Moon" fundraiser. The
gastroPod will be facing off against
Jefe's Original. Each will be cooking some of their regular specialties (including Chef Jeremiah's Mo' Better Burger and Jefe's Ensenada Style Fish Tacos), but also will be facing a secret ingredient challenge. And as they say on TV, "But that's not all ..." The evening also offers the Florida debut of
Deering Wines, a Sonoma winery founded by descendants of the Deering McCormick family. There will also be more food samples from
Bizcaya at the Ritz-Carlton,
Anacapri,
Smith & Wollensky,
Sawa,
Kaliapy's,
Delicias del Mundo,
Wendy's Chocolates,
Donna's Delights, and
Sugar Shack. Tickets ($90, $75 for members, VIP $175, $150 for members) are available at the
Deering Estate website or by calling 305.235.1668, x263.
