Goya Foods Brings the Most Flavorful Beach Party with its Goya Cabana to the 2020 Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival

Goya Foods introduces Goya Cabana at the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by Capital One (SOBEWFF®). Marking its ninth year in the festival, Goya will bring stylish beach vibes, the culinary talents of Executive Chef Fernando Desa, a stellar lineup of top chefs, extraordinary Latin fusion dishes, and selfie-worthy installations to the festival events.

This year, to further spice things up, Goya will make its culinary debut at two signature night events hosted at the North Venue: Heineken Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons® hosted by Rachael Ray and Barilla’s Italian Bites on the Beach sponsored by HCP Media and the Miami Herald Media Company hosted by Giada De Laurentiis & Dario Cecchini, where the brand will wow festival-goers with elevated fare and delectable flavors as guests mingle to the sound of exquisite music and more.

 Goya Foods will bring authentic Latin flavors to the festival grounds on South Beach during three signature events: Goya Foods’ Grand Tasting Village featuring Grand Tasting Tents & Publix Culinary Demonstrations sponsored by Sub-Zero Group Southeast, Goya Foods’ Fun and Fit as a Family featuring Kidz Kitchen, and Goya Foods’ Swine & Wine hosted by Enrique Santos and Fernando Desa at the iconic Biltmore Hotel.  

Throughout the four days of SOBEWFF®, Goya Foods will present a lineup of tops chefs that will impress attendees with their culinary mastery, including Chef Fernando Desa, Richard Ingraham, personal chef to Dwyane Wade and executive chef at Chef RLI, and Sean Brasel, executive chef and owner of Meat Market.

“Latin flavors are grounded in authenticity. At Goya, we strive to bring to life the distinctiveness and uniqueness of Latin American flavors with every ingredient we make,” said Frank Unanue, president of Goya Foods of Florida. “By bringing the full experience of Goya Cabana to SOBEWFF®,  we hope to give attendees an immersive experience of Latin America’s rich culinary journey.”
