It's food festival season in Miami, and the Magic City's biggest one is only three weeks away.

If you've snoozed on snagging tickets to some of South Beach Wine & Food Festival's big-time events, like a sushi omakase collective, a Sunday supper with Mario Carbone, and a doughnut-making master class with Miami's the Salty – well, you're out of luck. All of the aforementioned (and then some) are already sold out.

However, if you're still looking to attend some of the festival's buzziest events, you still have plenty of delicious options. These happenings include intimate dinners, a jazz brunch at one of Miami's most hard-to-get-into restaurants, and, yes, a night with the one and only Guy Fieri.

As SOBEWFF nears, here are six events that still have ticket availability. Hurry up before they sell out as well.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Live, Hosted by Guy Fieri

Take a swig of some Santo Mezquila, Guy Fieri's mezcal-meets-tequila, and get ready to party on the sand. Triple-D is bringing in over 30 no-frills restaurants from across the U.S. for an event that's just as unpretentious and grub-centric as Fieri himself. Don't count on anything overly fancy here. Instead, expect some delicious food, like crab-topped pretzels, fried chicken varieties, and mac and cheese (huge crowd favorites from last year). And, yes, your host is Fieri himself, who will likely be sauntering around with some Santo. 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Friday, February 23, at American Airlines North Venue, 1 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach. Tickets cost $175 to $250 via sobewff.org.

This is shaping up to be one of those can't-miss, once-in-a-lifetime, stars-aligning moments for sure. 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, February 24, at Maty's, 3255 NE First Ave., Miami. Tickets cost $300 via sobewff.org.
