Estrella Damm Culinary Journey Extended Through November 30

The four-year-old program, which has been extended through November 30, highlights the culinary talents of chefs across Miami-Dade and Broward counties as they pair their cuisine with one of Barcelona’s most cherished beers.

In all, 50 restaurants across both counties have signed on to participate. Some are presenting one special dish, others offer a multi-course menu. This year, diners can order everything from Reuben and pastrami croquetas served with bang bang and horseradish aioli at Kush by Stephen's for $12 to a three-course dinner at Ariete for $65.
