Miami Beach, FL – May 21, 2021 – The Festival’s beloved Burger Bash® returned with successful chef, restaurateur, author, beloved TV personality, and 2018 SOBEWFF® Tribute Dinner honoree Bobby Flay presiding as host! Flay is no stranger to culinary competitions, whether he’s hosting or competing. The Festival tapped the award-winning Food Network fan-favorite to keep the ultimate celebration of everyone’s favorite mouth-watering creation between two buns at a maximum for this year’s Heineken Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons.

Guests gathered under the iconic white tents nestled in the sparkling sands behind The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach hotel to graze on carefully curated offerings from chefs from across South Florida, including flavorful side dishes that complemented each burger perfectly, and sipped on refreshing Heineken beer and wine selections.

An esteemed panel of judges, including the youngest-ever MasterChef finalist Nick DiGiovanni, NBC 6’s Kelly Blanco, photographer & journalist Manny Hernandez, Telemundo 51’s Mariana Rodriguez, Miami New Times’ Food & Drink editor Laine Doss, WSVN 7’s Belkys Nerey, CBS 4’s Lisa Petrillo, and Univision’s Raúl De Molina, decided who received this year’s coveted Schweid & Sons® The Very Best Burger Award. But wait, there was a twist! Since this year’s Burger Bash® featured TWO sessions, this award had TWO winners!
