As the South Beach Wine and Food Festival celebrates its 18th year on Miami Beach this week, the Thursday night special “Barilla’s Italian Bites on the Beach” is back and hosted again by top chef, author, and TV personality Giada De Laurentiis. CBS4’s Lisa Petrillo caught up Giada during last year’s event, asking her why she thinks this event is so popular.
“I think it’s also this town the fact that we can cook and eat on the beach. There’s really no better place, it’s warm and its fun. There is no better place than here in February. It’s a big party!” she said. The event features more than 30 of the nation’s greatest chefs serving up dishes originating from various regions of Italy.
