Aventura, FL – February 24, 2022 – Nobody does high-caliber comfort food like Michael Mina. The Michelin-starred, James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur, who runs an impressive 40+ restaurants across the United States, has always displayed an uncanny ability to turn the most craveable foods like burgers and mac & cheese into a sumptuous feast fit for royalty. An unwavering commitment to excellence imbues each of his celebrated restaurants — perhaps none more so than Bourbon Steak at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa, the elegant Aventura hotspot led by Executive Chef and Festival favorite Gabriel Fenton. The crackerjack duo has invited Top Chef All-Stars winner and cookbook author Richard Blais into their kitchen for this decadent al fresco dinner that elevates homestyle recipes to dizzyingly delectable heights.
