CORAL GABLES, FLA—The 11-year-old Cochon555 tour touched down in the courtyard of the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables on Nov. 21. The outdoor affair was illuminated by string lights, fire dancers and Latin beats, which complemented an endless array of live-fire bites and trendy pours. Twenty of South Florida’s top chefs gathered alfresco to commemorate Heritage Fuego, presented by Goya Foods, a celebration of global and sustainably sourced cooking for a melting pot of hungry (and thirsty!) South Florida attendees.
From barbecue beef tongue a la Beaker & Gray, to braised pork belly courtesy of Biltmore Hotel, to vegan-friendly grilled bananas from Phuc Yea, there was a flavor for every brand of foodie to savor. Plus, a percentage of the proceeds from the sold-out event were donated to Overtown Youth Center, a childhood development program that supports at-risk youth and their families.
