Talented beyond his years, 39-year-old Samuel Gorenstein has impressed colleagues, critics, and fans alike throughout his impressive and ever-growing culinary career. After working in some of Miami’s best kitchens, Sam co-founded local favorite My Ceviche in 2012. Shortly after, the young chef later moved on to work alongside Michael Schwartz and was named by Poder Magazine as a “Top 5 Latino Chef” alongside big names such as José Andrés. In November 2014, Sam became the first winner of Food Network’s culinary competition show “Kitchen Inferno” beating celebrity chef Curtis Stone. In 2016 Sam also made an appearance on the Food Network’s show “Beat Bobby Flay,” beating Chef Flay in the ultimate showdown.

Today, Sam along with partner Omer Horev, founder of Pura Vida Miami, opened Abbale Telavivian Kitchen to bring the flavors and spices of Tel Aviv to Miami.

Corporate sponsorships are still available.
