The
hip new cruise ship, Celebrity
Reflection,
is the setting for foodies to taste, sip and sense why Celebrity
Cruises is awakening palates, turning heads and making people crave
more. “A Taste of Modern Luxury” on Celebrity
Reflection offers
a gastro-tour of six unique venues, where small plates from
Celebrity’s onboard specialty restaurants, created by Celebrity’s
James Beard-featured director of culinary operations, Chef John
Suley, will be paired with cocktails by renowned mixologist Junior
Merino, “The Liquid Chef.” Also James Beard-featured, Merino will
showcase techniques such as liquid nitrogen, foams, airs, flavor
building and spherification. These unique concoctions – some
flowery, some spicy – are featured in “The Molecular Bar” on
Celebrity’s five newest ships. One such pairing to be presented
during the event is a gin, ginger elderflower and rosemary cocktail
called “Gentle Reflection” and a Muscovy duck breast with
almond-crusted French toast and raisin-apple compote.
“The
Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival is an ideal partner
for showcasing our passion for extraordinary cuisine to people who
appreciate it,” said Scott Steenrod, Vice President, Food and
Beverage Operations, Celebrity Cruises. “From being the first in
the cruise industry to cook dinner at the legendary James Beard House
to being the first to launch land-based pop-up restaurants, most
recently in New York City, we are constantly seeking new and
innovative ways to bring elements of our onboard experience to modern
luxury vacationers.”
“A
Taste of Modern Luxury” takes place at 11 am on Saturday, February
23, at the Port of Miami. Pre-registration is required for
participation. Tickets and more details are available

All proceeds from the Festival benefit the Chaplin School of
Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International
University.
