On Tuesday, September 10, Modern Luxury Miami hosted the 14th annual “To Live & Dine” event at Paradise Plaza in the Miami Design District. The evening unfolded as a true gastronomic adventure, showcasing the finest offerings from Miami’s premier restaurants and culinary talents. 

Guests were treated to an array of delectable creations from celebrated establishments such as ABA, Amalia, Bellita Pasta, Boulud Sud Miami, Casadonna Miami, Cookin Genie, Delilah, Dirty French, Elastika, Kissaki, Kojin 2.0, La Natural, Sereia, Sushi Sake, Truluck’s, Uchi, Vitolo, and others. The cocktails were equally impressive, with refreshing concoctions from Yave Tequila and Una Vodka maintaining the lively atmosphere, while Chip City Cookies provided the perfect sweet ending.

Among the standout bites: Red Farm’s Truffle Shrimp Shumai took the top spot, followed closely by Uchi’s Blue Fin Tuna, Hampton Social’s Lobster Rolls, Kojin 2.0’s Wild Rice with Maitake mushrooms and Parmesan foam, and Vitolo’s meatballs.
