Seed Food & Wine Festival, the nation’s premiere plant-based food event of its kind, gathers an unparalleled group of more than 60 plant-based chefs, athletes, authors and celebrities for the festival’s third year. Events on November 2nd-6th, 2016, include upscale dinners, fitness events and the nation’s first Plant-Based Burger Battleâ„¢. We have a lot more events and dinners this year including two dinners highlighting the best plant-based chefs in the country with “Best of The East” and “Best of The West” and we will also have the Seed Summit, a two day workshop and retreat for those in the plant-based world from bloggers to entrepreneurs.

SEED celebrates conscious, sustainable living and plant-based foods, fine wine, craft beer and spirits, lifestyle products and companies, all while raising health awareness, having fun and keeping a sense of humor in glorious sun-soaked Miami Beach and Wynwood. Over 9,000 culinary and conscious living enthusiasts will take part in the five days of the festival. As part of its mission to raise awareness of conscious living in a heady, fun-filled environment, SEED hosts the nation’s first Plant-Based Burger Battle™ presented by Whole Foods and Eden Roc Miami Beach Resort on Thursday, November 5th.

Chefs from restaurants around the country, including Sun Café (Los Angeles), Next Level Burger (Bend, OR), Arlo’s (Austin), jugofresh (Miami) della test kitchen (Miami) and Malibu Farms at Eden Roc (Miami Beach) will compete. Judges of the battle will include Lee Schrager, founder and executive director of South Beach Wine & Food Festival, four-time NBA champion John Salley and Sef Gonzalez, Miami-based “Burger Beast” blogger and founder of the soon-to-open Burger Museum.

This November Miami will welcome thousands of people passionate about conscious living and sustainability to Whole Foods’ Seed Food and Wine Festival and there will be a Vegan Burger Cook-Off on Thursday, November 3 to celebrate! Follow Your Heart, best known for its egg free mayo, Vegenaise and producing dairy free products since the 70s and Spork Foods, a collaboration between two vegan cooks to create wholesome vegan foods, will take the stage to battle for the title of “Best Vegan Burger”. Jenny Engel, half-Spook Foods and half-brand ambassador for Follow Your Heart, will be cooking up a plant-based burger to rival all other veggie creations! Stop by the festival and taste (and hopefully vote for) Follow Your Heart’s burger!
