Epicurean Cocktail Feast on the Beach
With a spotlight on Asian-inspired tastings and cocktails from celebrated chefs and buzz-worthy bartenders, the LUCKYRICE Festival is making its Miami debut at the SoHo Beach House, where tantalizing bites and drinks will spill from the pool and tiki hut onto the beach and oceanside fire pits.
Hosted by Susur Lee (Top Chef Masters) with Douglas Rodriguez (father of Nuevo Latino cuisine), the inaugural LUCKYRICE Miami event is a “Chino Latino†collaboration that celebrates Miami’s international fusion style. Beyond food and cocktails, the experience will bring the sights, sounds and smells of Asia to the beach with performances by the Chinese jazz vocalist Le Zhang followed by tunes by DJ Mike Deuce.
