On Saturday, Feb. 26, foodies with a penchant for fresh, high-quality steak and seafood can please their palates at STK Miami Presents “Surf & Turf.” With the culinary powerhouse pair of STK’s executive chef Ralph Pagano of Hell’s Kitchen fame and Top Chef Masters’ chef Rick Moonen, the event is sure to bring the absolute best of both land and sea.

The event will begin at 8 p.m. with a convivial cocktail hour and a private dinner to follow at 9 p.m.
Celebrated experts in their specialties, Chef Moonen will bring to the table his signature sustainable seafood dishes to be served with Chef Pagano’s decadent prime cuts. Award-winning chef Rick Moonen has been one of the country’s leading advocates for the sustainable seafood movement and his restaurant, Rick Moonen’s rm seafood, has been an example of his commitment to sustainability while maintaining culinary creativity and innovation.
Executive chef of STK Ralph Pagano has been serving his unique interpretation of world flavors for two decades now and, as a proud part of the local Miami food scene, has helped to establish South Florida in the culinary world. The fusion of these two chefs’ creations is sure to create a four-course culinary masterpiece. The dishes will be expertly paired with wines and spirits including Chambord vodka, Herradura tequila, Collingwood whiskey and a selection of organic wines from Bonterra Vineyard.
