Miami’s culinary scene is getting ready to celebrate its chefs, flavors, and unmistakable 305 spirit with Made in Miami, an exclusive opening-night dinner taking place Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at Phuc Yea.
Presented by GOYA, Herradura Tequila, and Halperns Steak & Seafood, the one-night-only event will officially kick off the South Beach Seafood Festival and bring together some of South Florida’s most exciting culinary talent for an evening centered around food, creativity, and Miami culture.
Hosted by Chef Cesar Zapata and Chef Jose Mendin, Made in Miami will also feature GOYA’s Chef Fernando Desa, Chef Eileen Andrade, Chef Michael Beltran, and Chef Eduardo Lara.
Together, the chefs will showcase the flavors and creativity that have helped make Miami one of the country’s most exciting dining destinations.
Guests can expect an intimate four-course dinner featuring carefully crafted dishes, paired with Herradura Tequila. Rather than simply being a traditional dinner, the evening is designed as a celebration of the people behind Miami’s dynamic food scene.
Food will be at the center of the experience, but the evening won't end when dessert is served.
Following dinner, the chefs will step out of the kitchen for surprise entertainment and unexpected moments, adding an element of excitement to the night and setting the tone for the week ahead.
For anyone who loves discovering Miami restaurants, meeting the chefs behind the city's food movement, or simply enjoying an unforgettable dining experience, Made in Miami offers a unique way to experience the beginning of South Florida's culinary season.
The dinner serves as the official opening-night event for the South Beach Seafood Festival, one of Miami Beach's highly anticipated culinary celebrations.
The festival brings together seafood lovers, chefs, restaurants, and food enthusiasts for several days of events and experiences celebrating South Florida's connection to the ocean and its vibrant restaurant culture.
Starting the week with Made in Miami gives guests an opportunity to experience the city's culinary community in a more intimate setting before the larger festival celebrations begin.
