Dinner In Paradise




The event that lives up to its name is hard to come by (almost every event that ends in the word 'Festival', for example).This incredible food journey, founded by Celebuchef Michael Schwartz, of New York Times 'Best 10 New Restaurants in the US Outside NYC' fame, and Paradise Farms owner Gabrielle Mawerski, is an amazing exception. Eating food prepared in the place where some of it is grown, in these times, is an almost mystical experience (if I may wax Zen-like for a moment).

Special thanks to Alexandra Rangel Brody for the transplendent photos. Also thank you to Gabrielle, Michael, Chef George Fistrovich of the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne and his staff, Chef Urbani, and everyone at Paradise farms for their help, kindness, and damn good food...
