Miami New Times’ Iron Fork is Miami’s most hotly anticipated culinary event. This year on August 1st, we up the ante by partnering with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau to kick off two months of discounted three-course meals at Miami’s best restaurants during Miami Spice.
Planned at the beautiful Adrienne Arsht Center For The Performing Arts, in Downtown Miami, the 2013 Iron Fork will draw thousands of food lovers from across Greater Miami. They will watch two of our cities finest chefs go pot-to-pot in a sizzling showdown for supremacy overseen by famed “Mango Gang” veteran Allen Susser.
Each competitor will receive a basket of foodstuffs-plus one secret ingredient-then create a tantalizing creation before a panel of local celebrity chefs hand selected by Chef Allen. The winner will receive the prestigious New Times Iron Fork award, signifying the area’s top toque. For more info on the Miami Spice Dining Program go to ilovemiamispice.com. Chop to it!
The sixth-annual Miami New Times Iron Fork/Miami Spice Kick-off Event, presented by the Downtown Miami Development Authority, will be held this year on Thursday, August 1, 2013, at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. This year’s unique VIP experience will invite dining aficionados to wine and dine directly on the stage of the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Knight Concert Hall, as they enjoy food and entertainment inspired by Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, Norwegian Getaway, the largest ship to homeport in Miami beginning in February.
VIP guests will get a taste of Norwegian Getaway’s headline entertainment as they experience performances by seven-time Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical Legally Blonde. Guests who purchase general admission tickets will also have the opportunity to enjoy this musical medley from the theater’s box seats and second tier. Four performances will be offered throughout the evening, starting at 7:00 p.m.
Guests visiting Norwegian’s VIP Stage Lounge will also enjoy culinary delights inspired by Ocean Blue by Geoffrey Zakarian, Norwegian Getaway’s seafood restaurant created by the celebrity chef and Food Network star,  and sip on tasty libations provided by Miami Spice sponsors.
Iron Fork will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. and will feature delectable creations by more than 45 Miami Spice luxury and fine-dining restaurants for an evening of gourmet food selections, delicious beverages, and live entertainment. Music performers will include JUke, Aaron Lebos Reality, and Steve Acho. Guests who prefer a more intimate dining experience may purchase VIP tickets, which include entry to the event one hour early, at 6 p.m., and access to the Norwegian Cruise Line VIP Stage Lounge.
