The race will take place May 5-7, offering attendees a gastronomic experience like no other, says Tyler Epp, president of this year’s Miami Grand Prix event. “We really pride ourselves on delivering the very best food and beverages from the South Florida region and incorporating it into this global event, including 14 locally based, minority-owned restaurants,” Epp tells New Times. “We’ve really upped the ante this year.” More than 65 establishments have signed on to participate in this year’s Crypto.com- sponsored event, from several James Beard award-winning chefs to local and minority- owned establishments, each offering an ar- ray of dishes and cuisine for those attending the race at the Miami International Auto- drome campus. This year, they include Miami toques Mi- chelle Bernstein, Brad Kilgore, and Lorena Garcia, and menus from Miami hospitality powerhouses Major Food Group (MFG) and Groot Hospitality, who have signed on to ca- ter the exclusive hospitality spaces alongside several general-admission areas. Attendees will find premium cuisine from the campus’ hospitality partner, Sodexo Live for Hardrock Stadium and Miami Dolphins, led by execu- tive chef Jonathan Cowan. David Grutman, the man behind several Mi- ami restaurants under Groot Hospitality, in- cluding Strawberry Moon, Papi Steak, Komodo, and the Key Club, will return this year to part- ner with the race’s 72 Club. They’ll serve a selec- tion of signature items from Groot’s many restaurants, with dishes like Peking duck, chips and caviar, Wagyu pastrami, and more. Miami newcomer MFG, the New York City-based hospitality business founded by Jeff Zalaznick, Mario Carbone, and Rich Tor- risi, has become a well-known name in the Miami area in recent years with Carbone, Dirty French, ZZ’s Club, Sadelle’s, and Cont- essa. MFG will return to the Grand Prix this year with food and drink at the Palm Club. Considered one of the most unique locations at the Miami International Autodrome, its lounge will be located at Turn 1, perfectly po- sitioned to offer trackside views of the action. General admission access will present guests with a lineup of vendor offerings from local restaurants like Bodega Taqueria y Te- quila, Cantina La Veinte, Casa Florida, Dōma, Café Versailles, Tacology, Harry’s Pizzeria, Pubbelly Sushi, and Dos Croquetas. All that food is meant to pair perfectly with the Herradura-sponsored “MIA Margarita” — once again the event’s signature cocktail. Addi- tional beverage options will include a three-story bar at the East Campus accessible to general admission pass holders, a Glenfiddich branded bar in the MIA Marina, and a custom sparkling wine bar at the North Campus.
