Inarguably, Coconut Grove’s Ariete is among the restaurants defining dining in Miami. Since opening in 2016 the restaurant has garnered a ravenous following and namechecked by everything from Food & Wine to The New York Times. In celebration of its three-year anniversary, Chef/Owner Michael Beltran is throwing a fête complete with live music, drink specials, special menus and, in true Miami fashion, Publix cake.
To help commemorate the milestone on Sunday, January 20, 2019 from 6PM – Midnight, the restaurant will serve a special three-course family-style feast priced at $50 per person. Designed to be shared and intended for indulgence, the menu will feature fan favorites as well as some special surprises. For an additional $10 per guest, revelers can add Beltran’s famous foie gras as a middle course. Also available will be a limited a la carte menu with signature items such as the famous Chug burger, fritas, and the famed pastrami-style short rib. Since no celebration is complete without dessert, all diners will be treated to a complimentary slice of Publix birthday cake.
$7 select signature cocktails and a 25% discount on bar will be available. Adding to the fun, Chatchow’s Gio Gutierrez will be on hand, pouring creative concoctions at his own pop-up bar.
The party doesn’t end on Sunday as the celebration will also serve as the official kick-off of its new late-night Happy Hour. Launching on Friday, January 25, 2019, and available every Friday and Saturday henceforth, the new Happy Hour will feature drink specials, late-night bites and a rotating selection of pastelitos by none other than Ariete’s own Pastelito Papi. After-hours specials will be available from 11PM-3AM at the bar, dining room and on Ariete’s cozy patio.
Table reservations for the anniversary celebration are suggested and can be made by calling (305) 640-5862.

Food Porn Art Exhibit with Award Winning Chefs and Artists at Naked Taco! 12/6/18

Calling all art and foodie enthusiasts! Naked Taco, located in the prime of South Beach, has teamed up with extremely talented artists and brilliant chefs to bring to life a Food Porn Art Exhibit. It took 3 award winning chefs teaming up with 3 phenomenal artists and 3 stunning influencers to create art pieces that showcase the sexual side of food. Food Porn Art Exhibit features @wallflowe12 Photography by Michael Leoncio, Jay “JBon” Bonadio JR @TheUnsigned, and Peterson Guerrier @Mr_Guerrier joined forces with award-winning Chefs Ralph Pagano, Brad Kilgore, and Max Santiago to create art pieces unlike any other.

Seen through the lens and photographed for the food-meets-art collaboration are influencers Bibiana Julian, TV personality, Astrid Bavaresco and one of Miami’s top females DJ’s, Michelle Pooch. Each photograph went through a process of artistic expressions created by Michael Leoncio @Wall- flowe12, Jay “JBon” Bonadio JR @TheUnsigned, and Peterson Guerrier. All three artists alongside the chefs brought a different and unique aspect to each art piece.

Michael Leoncio, known as @wallflowe12, is well known for tastefully depicting the nude human form with his images of masked nude models. Jbon, also known as “The Unsigned Artist”, has been shaking up the art scene for over a decade while keeping a low profile. Starting as a silk screen artist at the age of 15, he has evolved those skills into an original, luxurious “Neo- Mosaic” shattered glass concept of collections that he creates today. And last, but definitely not least Peterson Guerrier; known for creating artwork on canvases which are unique to properly showcase his style. Using a traditional fine art technique fused with an urban flare my work takes turns speaking jazz in a midnight setting, and bleeding emotions from an animalistic perspective.

“During hard times, people economize by going hungry, and with 37% of Miami-Dade households either in poverty or making ends meet, it is important we host events like these to support those in need in our community, especially true after a natural disaster such as Hurricane Michael,” said Yaser Mohamad, General Manager, National Hotel. “By supporting Neighbors 4 Neighbors’ Family Fund, we are helping restore the financial self-sufficiency of individuals who are willing to work but are temporarily unable to do so or are going through unexpected hardships.”

It’s no secret that South Floridians love their Cuban coffee, but how good are they at guessing how many beans fill a jar? Colada Cuban Coffee House and Eatery in Flagler Village is celebrating National Coffee Day by giving away a year of free coffee to one lucky coffee lover who can “guesstimate” how many coffee beans are in a glass jar at Colada. Every day leading up to National Coffee Day on Saturday, September 29, Colada guests are invited to cast their predictions, and then at 9 p.m. on National Coffee Day, the person who guessed the closest will be announced and receive an official Colada card for one free coffee a week for an entire year!
In addition to Colada’s Coffee Bean Challenge, now through National Coffee Day, guests who check in at Colada on social media and/or Yelp! will receive a free fresh Cuban pastry with any purchase.

Menu
Colada’s delicious Cuban-American- inspired menu offers guests a varied selection of authentic Cuban food and beverages made fresh daily. The popular breakfast menu features an assortment of coffees, including cortaditos, Cuban coffee, iced coffees and café americanos, along with a tempting list of breakfast sandwich options made with combinations of eggs, meats and cheeses. Lunch favorites consist of some traditional and some not-so-traditional choices, such as a Cuban Philly sandwich made with fresh ropa vieja, sweet and spicy guava chicken wings, empanadas or a make-your-own Colada bowl, which involves choosing a protein, base, toppings and a signature sauce. Fritas, guava pastries, croquettes and delectable desserts, including Cuban flan and tres leches, are also available.
Colada serves red wine sangria and sake-based mojitos that are made in-house, as well as a selection of local craft beers on tap.

FATVillage Project Space
523 NW 1st Ave,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301
Facebook
Cost: Free

SPF’18 will take over FATVillage Saturday, November 10, 2018, for an epic, print-happy day of exhibitors, with a market of print, book and zine exhibitors from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Boca Raton, Orlando, Gainesville and beyond, a giant steamroller pressing the largest prints of the fair, live demonstrations of print-making techniques, creation stations and art making activities, a stage of author and poets talks, a cabana with ice cold, locally crafted beer, food trucks and so much more!

SPF’18 will showcase a diverse range of local and regional artists, printers, publishers, authors, poets, bookmakers, designers, zinesters and cultural workers, sharing and exhibiting new work related to printmaking, book making and zine creation.

What is a zine? A zine (/ˈziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is most commonly a small-circulation, self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via photocopier or similarly inexpensive means. Zines are usually the product of a single person, or of a very small group. The primary intent is to advance the views of the creator rather than profit, since the time and materials necessary to create a zine are seldom matched by revenue from its sale. Zines tend to deal with subjects that are too controversial or niche for mainstream media.

SPF’18 exhibitors will take over The Projects in FATVillage, Fort Lauderdale, a 8,000+ sq ft warehouse space, celebrating the growing interest and support for independent and small press artists and publishers that have fueled the sub-culture in South Florida for years.

Funding for SPF’18 is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council as well as the following Funds from the Community Foundation of Broward: Fonda and H. Wayne Huizenga, Jr Family Trust Fund, Gary J. Scotto Fund and Mary and Alex Mackenzie Community Impact Fund. Additional funding is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council and Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Open to all ages, including service and support animals and well-behaved pets.

The National Hotel, the cinematic Art Deco treasure in the heart of South Beach, is partnering with Neighbors 4 Neighbors, a nationally recognized nonprofit and partner of local broadcast station CBS4, to host Chefs 4 Neighbors, a culinary benefit event to raise funds to support individuals and families with immediate needs. Proceeds from the event will go towards Neighbors 4 Neighbors’ Family Fund, a program that offers financial assistance to otherwise self-sufficient individuals who have an immediate need or emergency, preventing them from entering the cycle of poverty. The Family Fund will purchase supermarket gift cards for families experiencing food insecurity.

“During hard times, people economize by going hungry, and with 37% of Miami-Dade households either in poverty or making ends meet, it is important we host events like these to support those in need in our community,” said Yaser Mohamad, General Manager, National Hotel. “By supporting Neighbors 4 Neighbors’ Family Fund, we are helping restore the financial self-sufficiency of individuals who are willing to work but are temporarily unable to do so or are going through unexpected hardships.”
