In a tent full of bright lights, loud music and some of the country’s best barbecue, chefs like Chris Lilly, Tim Love and Elizabeth Karmel joined The Q, formally known as BubbleQ, to kick off the 2012 South Beach Wine & Food Festival last night. With the air smelling of sweet and smoky barbecue sauces and spices, the event featured chefs’ signature dishes cooked on grills and smokers, and was hosted by Emeril Lagasse and Food Network’s Guy Fieri.
When people think of barbecue, the usual comes to mind: chicken, steak, burgers, ribs and hot dogs. While they were all present, they were all reinvented classics. Pulled pork was transformed into tacos and egg rolls, lamb ribs were served instead of pork ribs and yellowtail even made an appearance.
One specific dish that stood out last night was Marc Forgione’s pig-head cakes with a farm egg and micro greens. Imagine a crab cake made out of succulent pork instead. It was unforgettable and I can admit I went back for seconds — and thirds.
Other Food Network chefs busy barbecuing the night away included Aarón Sanchez,Masaharu Morimoto, Guy Fieriand Scott Conant, who served Crispy Pork Shoulder With Apple Mostardo, Testa Pickled Onions and Micro Celery....Looking forward to the Dolphin Kids bash at Parot Jungle Island on Sunday Feb 25 i will be fun....
