Miami, FL – February 24, 2022 – It’s hard to imagine a more immersive environment than the one Executive Chef Mikel Goikolea managed to create at LEKU, the elegant restaurant inside the Rubell Museum that celebrates the Basque region’s cuisine in all of its gastronomic glory. Despite the restaurant’s contemporary, Miami-chic design, Goikolea’s dishes are so deeply rooted in the flavors and techniques of the Basque region, you could close your eyes and swear that you were sitting amongst the mountain ranges of Northern Spain. For this once-in-a-lifetime South Beach Wine & Food Festival® dinner, he’s invited a megawatt cast of fellow culinary giants from the Michelin star-studded region — Peli Pérez de Anuzita and Julen Baz MugikaBeñat Ormaetxea, and Sergio Ortiz de Zarate — where they curated an incomparable culinary experience that proudly showcased the area’s fresh ingredients and skillfully balanced flavors, all accentuated by bold Spanish wine pairings from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio.
