Food Philosophy #63: Join Us at the Table

Food Philosophy #63: Join Us at the Table

Nancy Ancrum and Robbie Bell are Two Saucy Chicks who host Join Us at the Table on WKAT radio in Miami. When off the air, they are busy coordinating eating tours around South Florida with a concept they call Curated Dining(TM), which celebrates food's anthropological and cultural roots, as well as the very idea of breaking bread with other humans.

I'm also swooning over the BrewStation Deluxe from Hamilton Beach, which is a coffee lover's dream!

Food Philosophy Videocast #9: Taste of the Nation Miami

Food Philosophy Videocast #9: Taste of the Nation Miami

After sampling some delicious morsels at Miami's Taste of the Nation, celebrating its 20th year in the fight against hunger, I chatted with the cherubic Allen Susser, coordinating chef of the event and chef/owner of the notable Chef Allen's.

I never cease to be amazed at the energy exuded by chefs to feed hungry people of all income levels, and Taste of the Nation is one of the finest charity events in the U.S. Not only does it benefit local food banks and charities, but it gives you, the guest, an opportunity to sample a city's most incredible tastes under one roof for an extremely reasonable price. This is capitalism and charity in a beautiful win-win relationship.

Food Philosophy Videocast #8: Chef Govind Armstrong

Food Philosophy Videocast #8: Chef Govind Armstrong

After our sumptuous dinner at Table 8 in South Beach, I had a chance to sit and chat with burgeoning rock-star chef Govind Armstrong. He shared the secret behind the glorious salt-crusted porterhouse we devoured, and filled me in on the plans for his expanding culinary empire.

Food Philosophy #58: Miami Spice Month

Food Philosophy #58: Miami Spice Month

Well, there's a first time for everything. I recorded some of this show while on my flight back from Mexico, so you get to be in the air right along with me. Before Mexico, however, we had a chance to explore the flavors of Miami Spice Month, which happens during August and September, and features more than 80 restaurants with specially priced menus ($22 for lunch, $35 for dinner).

We began by attending Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation, which benefits anti-hunger programs both locally and nationally, and I'll have video next week of my interview with coordinating chef Allen Susser of Chef Allen's. We also savored tastings at Table 8 South Beach, La Palme d'Or, La Cofradia, Chispa, Sushi Samba Dromo and Grass, so I've included a little sampling of our thoughts on those. Yes, it was a busy week!

I'm also featuring video of my interview with Chef Govind Armstrong from Table 8 later this week, so don't miss that!

Bienvenidos a Miami

Well, Chef Mark and I are headed out in a few minutes for our press trip to Miami, where we'll be helping to celebrate Miami Spice Month (they really had to twist our arm). We'll be attending Taste of the Nation, one of my favorite cause-related events, and dining at some fabulous restaurants including Table 8 South Beach, owned by chef Govind Armstrong. I met Govind when I first launched this site as Gastronomic Meditations back in 2005, during his first dinner at the James Beard house, and it's been wonderful to see his star continue to rise ever since.

Chef Mark and I will blog from the road, so stay tuned for some dishing!
