• Miami Chefs Move, Restaurants Close, People Get Taxed And Die

  Heralded French chef Christian Delouvrier is gone from La Goulue in The Shoppes at Bal Harbour. If you log in to the restaurant website for details, it will say: "Coming Soon! La Goulue Bal Harbour". Executive chef Carlo Macaluso has left the relatively new Cita's Italian Chop House in Coconut Grove. Maybe he didn't have the chops.Mark Militello is the new executive chef at 1 Blue in the Regent Bal Harbour. He has taken over for Gerdy Rodriguez, who after his blink-of-the-eye stint at the Regent

  Segafredo Zanetti Espresso has opened yet another café, this one at 124 Collins Avenue -- they already operate one on Brickell, one in Bal Harbour, and about 570 more worldwide. Segafredo South Pointe will follow the same successful formula as the rest: Coffee, snacks, cocktails, a late night lounge scene with live music and DJ (from Thursday through Saturday until 3:00 a.m. or later), and a comfy, Euro-groovy ambiance with red leather couches indoors and an outdoor area made to look like a liv

Last Thursday night, you could smell the silicone on Bay Harbor Islands. As a mitzvah-trained DJ spun techno music, partygoers munched on pigs-in-a-blanket as they stud

• The Great Miami Restaurant Bubble of 2009

  We alluded to the bubble in this column yesterday. Here is a list of many, maybe most, but certainly not all of the mid-to-high end restaurants that have opened over the past 6 months (actually, the majority are fairly expensive). We're leaving out lower end ethnic joints, pizza places, and the like (except for a couple of high-profile low-enders like Bulldog and 8-Ounce). Read into the list as you will. I think it adds up to trouble ahead.Area 31; Sra. Martinez; Meat Market; 1 Blue at The Regen

  Crazy Pianos Tuning UpThe new dueling piano bar, restaurant, and late night entertainment venue in Coconut Grove (second floor of CocoWalk at 3015 Grand Avenue) is offering brunch from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. every Sunday. Also: two-for-one drink specials Thursdays 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.  Crazy Pianos claims to have "the only 'beer tables' in the country filled with extra cold (32 degrees) Heineken draft beer containing ice chips".
