A special evening celebrating community, craft, and collaboration. ✨
This year's Tribute Dinner honoring Michelle Bernstein and Sacha Lichine hosted by Master of Ceremonies Bobby Flay, part of The New York Times Dinner Series, brought together chefs, partners, and guests for a night dedicated to the spirit of hospitality and the joy of sharing great food.
The experience featured a beautiful reception alongside a thoughtfully prepared five-course dinner, made possible by the creativity and dedication of so many talented hands.
Gratitude to the incredible teams at Loews Miami Beach Hotel and FIU Institute for Hospitality & Tourism Education & Research, and Lee Brian Schrager, Bobby Flay, Chef Timon Balloo, Lindsey Autry, Romero Britto, Thomas Buckley, and everyone who helped bring the evening to life. Moments like these are a reminder of the power of collaboration and the community that makes Miami’s culinary scene so special.
