Labor Day is here - a sign of the end of summer and one of the last chances to get out grill! Who are we kidding, it’s Miami - you can always grill, but in the event that you’ve got special grilling plans this weekend we’ve got some fun recipes from the Michelin Star chefs behind the Just. brand of healthy spreads made by Hampton Creek.
Top Grilling Tips
Before anything else: Be sure to rub your grill grate with an oiled cloth before grilling to keep the food from sticking. (Trevor Niekowal)
Savory AND sweet: Grill up summer fruits to pair with your vegetable or meat dishes. Try peaches, nectarines, or any other stone fruit. Avocados too! (Ben Roche)
Don’t fidget: Avoid moving your food around on the grill too much. Let it sit on the grate as long as possible so that it cooks through evenly and gets nice grill marks. (Nate Hereford)
The dog days of summer are here and so is grilling season. Cool down with Chef Adrianne Calvo’s, Chef/Owner of Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Bar, Grilled Jumbo Shrimp with Kiwi, Green Apple, Green Chili, & Mint Relish.

It was a hot hot hot Saturday at this week’s HOOD FOOD at MKT by bazbaz Art installation and Marketplace at 2100 North Miami Ave., but that didn’t keep the local artisans, food vendors and many attendees from strolling thru the various stalls, tasting the local food offerings from Jucy Lu, Smart Bites, LadyFingrs popsicles, Mary's Brigadeiros and Lesage Bakery. and enjoying the electronic pop sounds from the very talented Ari Blik.
But,one of the highlights of the afternoon was the presentation from Carol Lopez-Bethel, the Development Director for Slow Food Miami and owner of Swirl Wine Consulting.
Carol took the stage in the amphitheater and talked about Florida’s fresh food scene, and the fact that we have TWO growing seasons. While the rising temperatures will soon end the season for traditional produce like tomatoes, asparagus, and peppers, the little appreciated season for tropical fruits and vegetables begins.
