It may be cold and snowy in much of the country, but I’m headed to Miami to turn up the heat. I’ll be joining celebrity chefs and culinary greats at the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

Iron Chef Michael Symon, and Executive Chef Peter Vauthy of Red, the Steakhouse, will host a Prelude Dinner that celebrates beef, and the history and tradition of American ranching.

Chef Peter says he is confident in the quality of the Certified Angus Beef ^® brand. “There is as much pride put into those steaks as I put into what goes on my plates.”

Michael Symon’s philosophy? “Let the beef be the star. If you want to be the best, use the best.”

I couldn’t agree more.

Behind the scenes

I’m honored to represent the Certified Angus Beef ^® brand and work with these great chefs at such a prestigious event. Most of all, I’m pleased to share the experience with the people behind the brand.

Several ranchers will attend – folks who produce the Certified Angus Beef ^® brand in America’s heartland. They will welcome visitors for an evening of ranching stories and Western mood – centered on their hard work and commitment to provide premium beef.
