f you are a young chef in South Florida, you want to be like Mike…Michael Schwartz that is. Owner of Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in Miami’s Design District and a recently opened second location on the Cayman Islands, Michael spends his mornings visiting local farmers, fisherman, artisans and ranchers in search of quality ingredients to feature in dishes that night. Join James Beard Award-winner Schwartz for an in-depth look at his restaurant’s approach to supporting small, family-owned operations and reducing his carbon footprint. Pairing the wines for this afternoon is Anthony Giglio, the witty journalist and sommelier who’s responsible for the annual FOOD & WINE magazine Wine Guide. Michael is celebrating the release of his first cookbook Michael's Genuine Food: Down-to-Earth Cooking for People Who Love to Eat. The Festival’s lifestyle seminars are a great place to start or supplement your wine and pairing education.
