Moët Hennessy’s The Q
Paula Deen & Bobby Deen
Miami Beach, FL – February 21, 2012 – Paula Deen and her two sons, Jamie & Bobby Deen kicked off South Beach Food & Wine Festival 2013 by hosting Moët Hennessy’s The Q. More than 40 of the top BBQ chefs from across the country grilled chicken, ribs, brisket and pork butts from Omaha Steaks with smoky side dishes. These fabulous BBQ dishes were paired with cocktail creations from the Moët Hennessy portfolio featuring Belvedere Vodka, Hennessy VS Cognac, Grand Marnier Liqueur and 10 Cane Rum.
Winners during the evening included Chef Todd English, who took home The Omaha Steaks Award for Culinary Excellence, and Chef Jonathan Waxman, who was crowned the Kingsford Charcoal King of Q. Judges Rocco DiSpirito, Pat & Gina Neely, and Omaha Steaks’ Todd Simon selected English’s steamed bun of hoisin glazed short rib and roasted 5 spice tenderloin with sweet and sour cucumber slaw, and Omaha Steaks has provided a $1,000 scholarship in English’s name to FIU. Chef Waxman impressed Kingsford Charcoal judges Aarón Sánchez and Marc Murphy with his whole roasted NY strip steak with tomato, arugula and salsa picante.
