What do you think of when you hear the words Culinary Tour? Certainly you don’t think of meet ‘n greets with chefs, first tastes of new summer menus, and a chance to mix and mingle with celebrity chefs, artists, fashion designers, entertainers, and of course other like-minded foodies… But you should. Because that’s what South of Spice is all about.
South of Spice is an exclusive Culinary Dine Around through Miami Beach’s South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood. It all goes down on Tuesday, July 26th, starting at 6pm. Guests will be escorted to a private area in each restaurant to enjoy a VIP experience where they can sample, sip, mix, & mingle with South of Fifth’s Top Chefs. Get a first taste of new summer menu items and enjoy a glass of wine or custom-created cocktail at each of the participating restaurants:
Red, the Steakhouse
Smith & Wollensky
Bakehouse
Cibo Wine Bar
Fogo De Chao
French 27
Izzy’s Fish & Oyster
Radio Bar
Craft Social Club Featuring Special Guest Talde
The Local House

Guests will also have the opportunity to climb on board luxury car service, miRide and be chauffeured to the featured restaurants throughout SoFi. And to top it all off, featured entertainment will be showcased in various restaurants throughout the evening, making it truly an unbeatable culinary arts experience.
As if the night couldn’t get any better, South of Spice benefits a great cause — the CI Foundation and their community initiative, Eat Smart, which finds a balance between battling childhood hunger and providing healthy meals to promote youth nutrition.
