Miami Beach, FL – February 23, 2017 – Dynamic and James Beard Award-winning chef, and this year’s SOBEWFF Tribute Dinner Honoree, ThinkFoodGroup owner José Andrés returned to host 10 of South Florida’s best chefs at the boutique luxury SLS South Beach. Andrés put his unique mark on a classic paella, while participating chefs presented their tantalizing tapas dishes to transport others to the streets of Sevilla without leaving the beach. Wine and libations complemented this Spanish-inspired soirée.
