It is a BIG weekend for all foodies
and fans of Haitian culture. In the spirit of Haitian Heritage Month, both
Miami-Dade and Broward Counties will be hosting pre-Haitian Flag Day
celebrations. The first of the two being held in Miami is called the Taste of
Haiti (TOH).
This is the fourth annual Taste of
Haiti. It is an event organized by the Haitian Culinary Alliance (HCA). It
will not only display the foods native to Haiti but modernized versions of
everyone's favorites crafted by many talented local chefs. Many of these local
chefs will also be there with their own exhibits to share their talents. Click here for a full list of exhibitors.
The TOH
will not only give you a sample of Haitian Cuisine, but its culture as a whole.
The event spans May 9-11 with different events tailored for those who work in
the culinary world, the general public and a special Mother's Day brunch. My
focus will be on May 10, the main event of the weekend. It will be a day
full of food and activities for everyone. There will be a kids’ corner so the ti moun are
welcome as well. Admission to the event is free but there will be food, drinks
and crafts for sale. The event will be held at the MOCA Plaza from 4pm-10pm.
The address is 770 NE 125th Street, Miami, FL 33161.
