I found that a good Shack Burger paired well with most of the wines,

including a pinot noir, a chianti, and a muscat. Meyer explained the

muscat thing: "Most people drink sodas (sweet) with their burgers."

But

your taste is your taste, says Meyer. "Next time someone says you're

supposed to have this kind of wine with this kind of food--it's

hogwash. There's no one like you and no one with your individual

tastes."

Meyer is known for his commitment to consistently great

hospitality at his establishments, which he describes in his

book, Setting the Table. I mentioned my Christmas wish for a citywide

service intervention to Meyer. When I asked him where he's been made to

feel most welcome in Miami, Meyer listed Michy's, Sra. Martinez,

Michael's Genuine and Joe's Stone Crab. "There's groovy and cool and

then there's hospitable. Miami does groovy and cool really well. But I

think you can do both cool and hospitable."
