“The show is a very good Latin American lead show for us. It’s very beneficial to our business and expanding our worldwide sales network. This show is an excellent place to crack the barrier of international business without traveling to those (individual) countries.”

Miami''s cuisine is a brave new world of tropical flavors. Located at the crossroads of North, South and Central America and positioned as America''s gateway to the Caribbean, Miami''s palate is a celebration of the world''s cultures in a culinary fusion. A show like this is a tribute to our coming of age.
