Fritas seem to be everywhere these, even more so now that they were featured on George Motz’s Burger Land on Travel Channel this past Monday. Last year we had a Cuban Frita Event planned for National Hamburger Month but it didn’t end up happening so I knew this had to be the year for it. El Rey de las Fritas is South Florida’s oldest Frita Joint so it’s only fitting that we hold the Late Night Frita Feast there.

Along with El Rey de las Fritas will be Chef Jose Mendin of Pubbelly fame and Chef George Patti from Islamorada’s MEAT Eatery & Taproom and Tasters Grille & Market bringing some National Hamburger Month love to Little Havana. Azucar Ice Cream Company will be making a Special Dessert with Materva for the Event too. The all inclusive ticket is $35 per person and includes:

El Rey De Las Fritas – Original Frita Slider with a side of Corn Fritters

MEAT Eatery & Taproom (Chef George Patti)- Housemade Chorizo Patty with Chimichurri Aioli, Side Truffled Yucca Frites with Rosemary & Parmesan

PB Steak (Chef Jose Mendin) – Frita Cubana: Chorizo, Cheddar Bechamel, Special Sauce & Frites

Azucar Ice Cream Company – Special Ice Cream Creation with Materva

Plus choice of Soft Drink or Batido (Shake)

Only 40 tickets are available!

Burger Land Miami Episode Viewing Party At El Mago De Las Fritas On Monday April 22nd

George Motz's Burger Land

In early January Hamburger expert George Motz was in town filming the 4th episode for his new Travel Channel program “Burger Land”. The Miami episode which airs on Monday April 22nd at 10PM features El Rey de las Fritas, Latin Burger & Taco Truck, Pincho Factory and my bud El Mago de las Fritas. I was lucky enough to be included in the Pincho Factory and El Mago de las Fritas segments of the show.

To celebrate the Miami episode, El Mago de las Fritas will be hosting a watch party at his restaurant from 8PM – 11PM. There will be Frita specials, there will be giveaways and of course it all culminates with the watching of the episode at 10PM. It sounds like a perfect night to me.

A couple of years ago George Motz was in town and we did an impromptu Frita Crawl, WATCH:
