The show also plays out audially via affiliate radio stations, and has a video-heavy website so you can watch online. [click]. You can catch the show in Miami every Saturday at 10:30 a.m. on TeleFutura channel 69.

Recently, during filming for an episode featuring Chef Sam Gorenstein of BLT Steak, the topic of meat came up. Maggie seemed so interested that Sam invited her to check out one of his purveyor's processing facility, Halperns' in Pompano.

Check out these behind the scenes pictures of the ¡Qué Sabor! segment Maggie Jimenez and Sam Gorenstein appear in as they take a tour given by Halperns' representative Jesus Perez.
