Join celebrity host Kelly Blanco of NBC 6 at Slow Food Miami’s “Snail of Approval” Tasting Party on Thursday, March 14, 2019. Regarded as Miami’s Freshest Night Out, the annual celebration will be held from 7PM to 10PM at The Palms Hotel & Spa, home to trend-setting farm-to-table concept Essensia Restaurant & Lounge. This year’s unforgettable evening under the stars is possible thanks to partnerships with The Palms Hotel & Spa, Whole Foods, Mercedes-Benz of Coral Gables, JetSet Sounds, Just Ask Boo, The Scout Guide Miami, Menu Men Inc., and Brustman Carrino Public Relations. The tasting party will unite dozens of the city’s top chefs, and local growers and producers for a night of tasting while honoring Miami’s food scene. New this year, Slow Food Miami will be presenting the Lifetime Snail Award to a special member of the Miami culinary community – Chef Allen Susser of The Café at Books and Books – for his longtime commitment to sourcing local and support of the Slow Food movement.

General admission tickets are $98 per person in advance; $128 per person at the door. Tickets can be purchased here with all event proceeds benefiting Slow Food Miami’s Edible Garden Program. VIP Garden Sponsor tickets are $750 and includes a garden box for a local school and free entry to Freshest Night Out with early admission at 6:30PM.
