It's been a busy week here at channel 5 - March has arrived with a bang! We caught opening night of the Miami International Film Festival Thursday night; interviewed Patricia Clarkson & Chris Cooper about their new movie Married Life Friday morning; and hit the 15th Annual Winter Party Beach Party Sunday afternoon. Videos are all coming soon, in the meantime it’s time to relive last month’s Wine & Food Festival & Boat Show action.
Wine & Food Festival Fun
- Champagne and sugar - does it get much better? We stopped by BubbleQ and Sugar Shack and sipped with Food & Wine editor Dana Cowin, chef Emeril Lagasse and Food Arts and Food & Wine founder Michael Batterberry.
- Few things go better with fine wine and food than a hefty dose of satire. We got our quota from Anthony Bourdain and his Golden Clog Awards.
Bobby Deen took us on an insider tour of his mom Paula Deen's Poker Party at the Paris Theater.
Boat Show Inside & Out
- This year's Yacht & Brokerage show featured over 500 boats ranging from 30 to 165 feet and $300,000 to $30 million. We went behind the scenes to film set-up (imagine ushering 500 yachts into the Indian Creek Waterway) then hit the fair with Debbie Davis, a vice president at Private Client Group.
- Not to be outdone, the Miami International Boat Show, now celebrating its 67th year, showcased over 2,200 exhibitors throughout the city. We toured the sights with John Ward & Kim Hegel of Boston Whaler; Joe Cacopardo of Sea Ray; Dean Kurtz of Furuno USA; and Bryan Seti of Yahama.
Lots more to come soon - look for coverage of Winter Pary, Winter Music Conference, the Sony Ericsson Open, Autism Week and more.
