A few things on the website struck me:

1. Why would Tyler Florence be listed as a "Chef" and not a "Personality"?

2. Why does Todd English's publicity photo make him look like a second rate David Copperfield?

3. Willie Nelson and Tony Bourdain are going to be taking part in the same event as Tyler Florence and Rachel Ray? That should be something interesting.

Re: The Mystery of The Disappearing Ramsay

Maybe I'll tell that story at my event. It's a classic.

But the best Ramsay anecdotes come from Australia where his free and frank expression of displeasure to a certain member of the foodie press has made him legend.

I've been kicking around ideas for what the hell I'm going to do at the event, but I'm leaning strongly towards " The Celebrity Chef Phenom: Boon To Mankind OR Sign Of The Apocalypse?" (with examples). To be followed by lively question and answer debate. To be followed by me hopefully having a really good time... Sunday at 1 I'll be showing the flag over at the Les Halles booth--which better leave me some time for boat-drinks and beach.

Re: The Mystery of The Disappearing Ramsay

Since I won't be in Miami until a week after the food event - I'd like to hear the Ramsey story here at some point. I'll be in London later this spring and am planning to dine at one of his places. Just want to know what I'm getting into.

If you can't find a place to have boat-drinks - give a holler. My brother lives on an island between Miami and Miami Beach and has 2 (boats). He and his wife aren't real food geeks (just amateurs) - but - being boaters - they sure know how to drink :smile: .

Perhaps my impressions of the Miami Beach scene are wrong (I lived in Miami for 20+ years and always hated the Miami Beach scene) - but I think a better topic would be - How to Eat in Expensive Trendy Restaurants At Someone Else's Expense and Stay Fashionably Thin. Or - How to Bed A Really Thin Gorgeous Model if You're a Big Fat Middle Aged Guy.

I am breaking with my tradition of hating Miami Beach next trip in mid-March and actually trying a (relatively) new restaurant there (Casa Tua). It is too bad the owner there now has a security guard to make sure that the staff/patrons don't steal more of the place settings (he lost $16,000/worth in the last year). Robyn

Knock, knock! Anybody in here?

Did you guys go? Were there boat drinks?

How's about a report?

I wasn't at the festival - but I just got back from 5 days in Miami. Don't think you had me in mind when you were asking for a report though. Robyn
