Soaking it all in… WOW.

What an unforgettable experience at my first-ever South Beach Wine & Food Festival Grand Tasting! It was an absolute honor to showcase my two-time award-winning Cafecito Brownie at such a prestigious event, surrounded by some of the best in the industry.

I had the incredible opportunity to meet my idol Chef Chris Valdes, along with amazing talents like Megan Thee Stallion, Chef Guy Fieri, and so many other inspiring chefs and influencers in Miami.

This is just the beginning—the sky is the limit! Can’t wait to be back next year, hopefully for all three days. Thank you to everyone who came by and showed love for the Cafecito Brownie! ☕️🍫 #ChefChristianCafecitoBrownies #CafecitoBrownies #SOBEWFF #grandtasting

✨ THE MOMENT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR… ✨

Two years. That’s how long I’ve waited for this opportunity. Two years of grinding, growing, and believing that the right moment would come. And now, it’s here. This Friday, February 21, I’ll be showcasing my two-time award-winning Cafecito Brownie at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Grand Tasting Village in Miami Beach.

This isn’t just a brownie. It’s a tribute. A labor of love. A piece of my story. My Cafecito Brownie is deeply personal—it pays homage to my late father, the man who inspired my love for food and taught me the power of culture, passion, and perseverance. Every bite carries the warmth of our kitchen, the aroma of café cubano, and the legacy of a dreamer who never stopped believing.

To stand among some of the best in the culinary world, representing my roots and my journey, is something I will never take for granted. But this? This is just the beginning.

For every person out there grinding, pushing, waiting for their shot—keep going. Your moment is coming. Trust the process, honor your journey, and when the door opens, step through it with everything you’ve got.

I hope to see you all at #SOBEWFF—stop by, say hello, and taste the passion behind the Cafecito Brownie. This moment means everything to me, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

See you in Miami Beach. This is only the beginning.

Today was an incredible day at Bunche Park in Miami Gardens! Partnering with @F1Miami and @MiamiDolphins, I had the privilege of surprising some amazing kids with treats straight from my kitchen. We brought along my signature brown butter chocolate chip cookies and my two-time award-winning Cafecito Brownies to spread a little joy and sweetness.

Seeing their faces light up as they enjoyed the treats was the highlight of my day. It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do—bringing people together through the love of food. Huge thanks to my partners for making this possible and for supporting our local community.

Here’s to many more events where we can make an impact, one bite at a time! #ChefChristianLLC #F1Miami #MiamiDolphins #CommunityFirst #BrownButterCookies #awardwinningbrownies
