  Chef Lorena Garcia Culinary

  438 NE 35th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137, USA

  Since Lorena Garcia has been cooking professionally, she has focused on bringing the flavors of Latin cooking -- one of the great cuisines of the world -- to a wider audience. Her global, fresh and highly flavorful take on Latin Cuisine offers a modern fusion of classic techniques with Latin ingredients. Her life as a chef, entrepreneur, cookbook author, media personality, cookware designer and restaurateur has been a celebration of the cooking and passion for food that she grew up with in her native Caracas, Venezuela with the international flavors and culinary techniques she amassed as a young chef working in some of the world’s finest restaurants. In July 2002, Garcia opened her first restaurant, Food Café, followed by Elements Tierra in Miami’s Design District. In 2011, she moved her restaurant operations into airports (currently at MIA, DFW and ATL), offering millions of travelers Lorena Garcia Tapas y Cocina, a healthier take on traditional Latin cuisine. Lorena also operates the Lorena Garcia Culinary Loft in Miami, which is available for private events, as well as film and television production. In 2017, Garcia embarked on her most ambitious restaurant project in collaboration with the award- winning international hospitality ground 50 Eggs Inc., landing her on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. CHICA by Lorena Garcia located at The Venetian hotel is a stunning celebration of Latin American cooking and hospitality showcasing flavors, influences and techniques from Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, combined and reimagined in Garcia’s distinct global style. With CHICA, she has joined the ranks of the world class chefs on Restaurant Row at The Venetian including Thomas Keller and Emeril Lagasse – and now her photo proudly lives between them as the first woman chef on the “Wall of Culinary Titans” outside the property. The expansion of the CHICA brand brought Garcia back home to South Florida when the concept opened its second location in Miami’s historic MiMo district in late-2019. The Miami incarnation of CHICA by Lorena Garcia appeals to both locals and visitors alike, featuring the robust and vibrant flavors of authentic Latin and South American dishes, inventive cocktails and an unparalleled dining experience guaranteed to elevate the local culinary landscape. The pristine Lorena Garcia culinary loft is centrally located and a drive about 5 minutes from Miami Beach, 10 minutes from Miami International Airport and 5 minutes from Downtown/Brickell. Featuring a 5,000 sq ft space, the loft allows for TV production, brand development, educational workshops, and private events.

  Red Fish Grill

  9610 Old Cutler Rd, Miami, FL 33190, USA

  CHEF ADRIANNE CALVO My story begins in 1984 in my hometown of Chicago Illinois, a food-obsessed city with a big culinary personality. As a kid, I wasn’t running home after school to kick around a ball or check out the latest video game, I was running into the kitchen to help my mom put dinner on the table! What I would learn later in life is these countless days spent watching her sprinkle a little bit of this and mixing in a little bit of that into delicious dishes my family and I relished in together is what inevitably started my drive to become a chef. After a scheduling mistake in high school that landed me in a cooking class rather than a journalism course on THE day hospitality giant Johnson & Wales University came to do a presentation, my professional journey began. And yes…I do believe in fate! I call that day the lightning strike. I entertained my competitive side with a slew of cooking competitions and was fortunate enough to be called upon by the Florida Marlins to cater the 2003 World Series. After graduating Johnson & Wales University, I took a position with the Five Diamond Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami. It was at the Mandarin Oriental where I learned first-hand from Executive Chef Patrick Lassaque the good, the bad, and the ugly of the restaurant business. Shortly thereafter, I landed in Napa Valley to stage with the great Chef Thomas Keller and Chef Cindy Pawlcyn. I still pinch myself that I was able to glean even a sliver of knowledge from these remarkable chefs. While some people thought a teenager had no business writing a cookbook, I had so many ideas, recipes, and food memories I wanted to make a reality since childhood that a book seemed like a natural next step. I mustered together what I could and self-published my first book, Maximum Flavor. Then, as fate would have it, the phone rang and a Montell Williams Show producer claimed to be on the other end (though I was convinced I was being pranked by a friend). They were preparing an episode on inspiring young entrepreneurs and wanted to invite me, as the youngest cookbook author, on the show. I was blown away and humbled beyond belief. Thanks to that appearance, I sold enough books to make my restaurant dreams a reality. We opened Chef Adrianne’s in 2007 in a Kendall strip mall. As a 22-year-old just starting out, my resources were limited, and this was where I could afford the four walls I needed to realize my dream. There were the obligatory naysayers that quipped about the location, but as people started to eat my food and taste my passion on a plate, it was their opinion that mattered most. Soon, Chef Adrianne’s was being labeled as a “hidden gem” or a “destination dining must”, which certainly was good enough for me. We guided the restaurant through the recession with just my trusted Sous Chef Eglis Siu (now Corporate Executive Chef) and I in the kitchen and successfully came out the other side. Next year, we celebrate Chef Adrianne’s 14th anniversary! I still don’t know how some of these went from idea to printed word, but I now count five cookbooks under my belt. I have many people to thank, including my hard-working team and my incredibly supportive friends and family. Chef Adrianne Calvo has taken her signature Maximum Flavor style under the sea! Redfish by Chef Adrianne serves as a rebirth of the famous Redfish Grill inside the historic Matheson Hammock Park. After years of traveling across the United States’ seafood capitals and the French Riviera, immersing herself in various cultures and learning from actual fishermen, Chef Adrianne has created a menu that mixes new American seafood with traditional fish house classics. What’s more, Redfish by Chef Adrianne features an extensive beer, wine, and whiskey library, to go along with craft cocktails designed by the chefs instead of mixologists, ultimately elevating the dining experience. With the opening of Redfish by Chef Adrianne, patrons can once again head into Matheson Hammock Park looking to enjoy the only waterfront restaurant in Coral Gables. Only this time, they’re experiencing Maximum Flavor! Redfish by Chef Adrianne offers a dynamic fine-dining experience with a gourmet chef-driven cuisine. The seaside venue serves as one of Miami’s most unique locations featuring 365-degree ocean views. Redfish by Chef Adrianne is the perfect space to celebrate any type of special event from family celebrations and social engagements to business meetings. There are many different options for private dining at Redfish. The first is private dining. This has space for 16 guests seated. The second is the Main Dining area. This has room for 40 guests seated and 75 guests cocktail. Patio A and Patio B each have room for 60 guests seated and 75 guests in a cocktail setting. The entire patio has room for 120 guests seated and 200 guests in a cocktail setting. A whole buyout has room for 256 guests seated and 440 in a cocktail setting.

  Davie Ranch is a family-owned equestrian facility and farm set on 10 acres in Davie, Florida, where natural surroundings — a 4-acre lake, walking trails lined with farm animals, and more than 80 species of trees — set the backdrop for private celebrations of all kinds. At the center of the property sits the Lakehouse, an air-conditioned gathering space outfitted with a state-of-the-art sound system, large flat-screen television, full kitchen, and both indoor and outdoor seating. A beach along the lake's edge and outdoor bathrooms and changing rooms extend the footprint for guests who want to make use of the water. The ranch's horses, ponies, and mini farm — home to donkeys, goats, miniature horses, guinea pigs, tortoises, chickens, and bunnies — add an interactive, one-of-a-kind dimension that few event venues can offer. Davie Ranch operates as a full-service venue, with staff available to assist with decorations, event rentals, catering, DJ entertainment, and on-site activities. The property hosts birthday parties, corporate events, weddings, and holiday celebrations.
