Art Basel isn’t the only event that gets the people going in Miami. In fact, about 60,000 come out for the South Beach Wine and Food Festival (SOBEWFF) from the Food Network and Cooking Channel. It’s a four-day festival filled with good food, culinary stars and beloved celebrities. Those into food travel can head to South Beach and expect to see the creations of top wine and spirit producers and chefs and culinary stars. And while there is plenty to see and do within the event from Feb. 24 to Feb. 27, there’s even more to offer around town at popular restaurants and staple eateries in that neighborhood and throughout Miami as a whole. Here are a few locals can’t get enough of, and they include a lot of ceviche, sandwiches (Cuban and burgers), seafood and more. Book a flight ASAP to get these one-of-a-kind dishes on a table near you.

01
Jonesing Hot Sandwich
It’s giving yum! This sandwich from Amaris Jones’s Chick’n Jones restaurant has a slew of flavors, including a mustard marinated chicken thigh, wild berry hot honey sauce and buttermilk red cabbage slaw.

The Juicy Lucy
Whitmans, a famous NYC burger joint, made its way down to Miami and brought with it a beloved burger: The Juicy Lucy. It’s two beef short rib blend patties with a scoop of pimento cheese that oozes from the middle when you take a bite.
