About the Host
Chef Michael Schwartz grew up in Philadelphia and earned his culinary stripes in top restaurants throughout Los Angeles and New York before landing in Miami in the early 90s. Fast forward to today, and he’s now established himself as a true Miami institution; he owns 6 of the city’s most-beloved eateries and won James Beard’s ultra-prestigious “Best Chef: South” Award in 2010. His empire includes Amara at Paraiso, Traymore, Tigertail + Mary, Harry’s Pizzeria, and his landmark restaurant, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, which has been a beacon of the city’s culinary scene for over a decade. While his restaurants span various cuisine types, they all share the common theme of emphasizing all that is local and fresh. His success is tied to his simple philosophy that the secret to good food is good food. We look forward to learning from Chef Schwartz and hearing all about his food passions!
