Famed Chef Ferran Adrià headlines Estrella’s Gastro Congress
The Barcelona-based brewery, Estrella Damm is hosting an eventful one-day Gastronomy Congress featuring world-renowned Spanish chef Ferran Adrià, together with a lineup of international culinary stars, on Monday, September 26th, at Miami Dade College venues in downtown Miami.
Chef Adrià is known for avant-garde, deconstructionist cuisine that has changed culinary history. The world’s most awarded chef and winner of Chef of the Decade, Adrià rose to fame as the head chef of elBulli, a three-star Michelin restaurant that has continuously been rated No. 1 among the world’s best restaurants, with five accolades from Restaurant Magazine.
Intent on being at the forefront of Miami’s rapid culinary evolution, Estrella Damm is honored to welcome Ferran Adrià back to the city of Miami, alongside an all-star lineup of chefs.
The most highly anticipated event, from the sophomore edition of this creative culinary showcase, is The Challenge of Contemporary Cuisine, a live cooking demonstration and an engaging discussion, led by local James Beard award winning chef, Michelle Bernstein.
Also, joining Adrià at the Congress is Jorge Muñoz, head chef at Michelin starred Nikkei restaurant Pakta, part of Albert Adrià’s notorious elBarri Group in Barcelona; Aaron Mulliss, head chef at The Hand and Flowers, the first Gastropub to receive two stars in The Michelin Guide, and holder of four AA rosettes; and Nick Beardshaw, head chef at The Coach, Tom Kerridge’s second venture, holding Michelin Bib Gourmand, three AA Rosettes and voted no. 3 Gastropub in the UK.
New to this year’s Gastro Congress is a selection of Miami restaurants that have been chosen to prepare a culinary experience paired with Estrella Damm. Local chefs include Miguel Aguilar of Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, Diego Muñoz of 1111 Peruvian Bistro, Eileen Andrade of Finka Table & Tap, Jimmy Carey of Jimmy’z Kitchen and Victor Santos of Tuyo at the Culinary Institute.
