2009 Food Network South Beach Wine and Food Festival

Unlike any other culinary event of its kind on the planet, set beneath the stars alongside the Delano’s private beach,the annual BubbleQ transcends the ordinary right down to the granules of soft white sand that lovingly caress your toes as you amble from one serving station to another.

Chef Tom Colicchio promises guests a night of pure bliss as he presides over an atmosphere that’s one part friendly neighborhood barbecue and two parts South Beach glam. The party launches with a warm SoBe welcome from Jeffrey and Linda Chodorow of China Grill Management and publisher Christina Grdovic and editor-in-chief Dana Cowin, both of Food & Wine. Capitalizing on the talents of some of the country’s greatest grilling gurus and taking advantage of a breath-taking oceanside venue, the BubbleQ invites sophisticated diners to enjoy a bit of starlight with their perfectly seared meats and seafood, compliments of Allen Brothers.

And that’s just the beginning. Wash it all down with the one beverage nearly everyone can agree goes best with it all: Champagne Perrier-Jouët, offering a vision of excellence and extravagance. In between courses, let your imagination run wild as you peruse the exquisite wine lots, dinners and weekend getaways offered up for bids in the Silent Auction Pavilion. Finally, cap your night in the Godiva Lounge where you’ll treat your sweet tooth to Godiva’s finest offerings.
