We have a winner! Congrats to Castor Morales on being chosen to judge the second-annual Junior Achievement World Uncorked! on January 21 at Broward College from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.
Morales’ love for a variety of bread puddings made us hungry and secured his win. I’ll be sure to order the one made with Krispy Kreme doughnuts the next time I see the Sugar Rush truck.
Morales told us he’s a South Florida native who “enjoys all
of the diverse cuisine of our area. From pastelitos to pho to foie gras,
“if it
tastes good, it’s on my plate,” he says.
Morales joins a panel of judges that includes:
- Rosa Cordero, blogger from the Food Chica and Accidental Sexiness blogs
- Laine Doss, New Times food writer
- Chef Ted Inserra, Old Fort Lauderdale Original Breakfast House chef
- Robyn Medlin Lindars, blogger and web personality from the Grill Grrrl
- Dave Nicholas, owner and managing partner at PL8
- Tricia Woolfenden, New Times food writer
Uncorked! is a food, wine, spirits, craft beer, and dessert
tasting with chefs from YOLO, Timpano Italian Chop House, Morton’s, the Capital
Grille, and Elevation Burger, among others.
Burger Beast will also host a burger battle at the event among Rok:Brgr, Elevation Burger,
Charm City Burgers, Burger Bar by Chef Allen, and Quickie’s. Publix’s
Apron Cooking School and Brown Distributing will whip up food and beer
pairings. There’s also a baking competition for culinary students from
the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale who compete for a scholarship.
If you’d like to attend, tickets cost $150 and can be picked up at will call. Proceeds go toward scholarships for Junior Achievement.
